Norges Bank Investment Management manages the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global, often referred to as Oljefondet or the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund. The aim of the fund is to ensure responsible and long-term management of revenue from Norway’s oil and gas resources so that this wealth benefits both current and future generations of Norway. Our objective as manager of the fund is to generate the highest possible return on the fund. We aim to achieve this in a safe, efficient, responsible and transparent manner, and within government guidelines. GLOBAL PRESENCE The fund is the largest single owner in the world’s stock markets, owning almost 1.4 percent of all shares in the world’s listed companies. This means that we have holdings in over 8,000 companies worldwide. In addition, the fund owns hundreds of properties in some of the world’s leading cities and global distribution networks, invest in renewable energy infrastructure and receives a steady income from bonds issued by governments and related institutions and securities issued by companies. We have offices in Oslo, London, New York and Singapore. We also have a Paris office for our Real Estate. Our global presence brings us closer to the markets we invest in and ensures stronger links with partners in different parts of the world. DIVERSE WORKFORCE As manager of one of the world’s largest funds we have developed a highly skilled investment organisation with a global outlook. We are more than 650 people from 38 nations. The large size of the fund implies great responsibilities and corresponding opportunities. We can offer a broad exposure to pressing issues in the industry and great learning opportunities along the whole scope of its specialities. We are looking for experienced investment professionals, as well as new talent.
