Norway's sovereign wealth fund aims to continue outpacing global markets

Oslo

NORWAY'S US$810 billion sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, will continue its bid to outperform global markets despite the added risks involved, the central bank official supervising the fund said.

The country's rainy-day savings, worth more than twice its annual gross domestic product, are invested in foreign stocks, bonds and real estate to share the wealth from oil and gas production with future generations.
