Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund: Balancing Risk and Citizen Benefits.
Sovereign wealth funds, like the one in Norway, are important global institutions. The Norway Fund's transparency allows for a detailed analysis of its performance. The Fund's track record resembles that of a mutual fund taking on more risk over time. There is no proof that the Fund has caused more disruption in foreign financial markets than mutual funds. It is still uncertain if the Fund and its Finance Ministry have effectively managed the assets for the Norwegian citizens.
