Last quarter saw the fund post its biggest quarterly return ever, growing by 9.1%, or approximately $84bn, thanks to the upturn in global stock markets.
Much of the fund’s $1.05tn in assets is invested in big technology stocks, such as Apple, Microsoft, Google parent company Alphabet and Amazon. The tech sector was the strongest performing sector in the fund last quarter, recording 17.6% growth.
The results are typically accompanied by a press conference with Norges Bank Investment Management CEO Yngve Slyngstad.
