Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund Proposes Cutting Government Bonds, Reducing US Treasury Holdings
Norway's $2.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund plans to reduce its government bond allocation from 70% to 50% to diversify risk and enhance returns. This shift would notably cut US Treasury holdings from 34.1% to 21.9% of its government bond portfolio, potentially reducing US Treasury investments by around $75 billion. The fund aims to increase exposure to non-government fixed income assets like corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, pending approval from Norway's finance ministry.
