Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund Proposes Reducing US Treasury and Government Bond Holdings
Norway's $2.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund, managed by Norges Bank Investment Management, has proposed reducing its allocation to government bonds from 70% to 50% to diversify risk and enhance returns. The largest cut would be in US Treasury holdings, expected to decline significantly. The fund plans to increase exposure to non-government bonds, including mortgage-backed securities and government-related bonds. These changes await approval from Norway's finance ministry and would be implemented gradually to minimize market impact.
