Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), stated that the performance was primarily driven by strong stock market performance, particularly the rise in Asian tech stocks.

In comparison, it holds about 1.3% of Nvidia shares, valued at $61.8 billion, and about 1.2% of Apple shares, valued at $52.7 billion. The Norway sovereign wealth fund managed by NBIM was established in the 1990s, primarily investing the country's oil and gas revenues. Currently, the fund invests in over 7,000 companies across more than 50 countries, holding approximately 1.5% of the shares of publicly listed companies worldwide. Stock assets account for more than two-thirds of its overall investment portfolio, with U.S. stocks making up about 40% of the total portfolio. [Original Link]
