The world-renowned Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, valued at $1.7 trillion, has experienced its most significant loss in a year and a half. Recent figures from Norges Bank Investment Management reveal a 0.6% loss, equaling a staggering $40 billion, primarily driven by a downturn in technology stocks in Q1 of the year.
The volatility of the global market, particularly the tech sector, has deeply affected this financial behemoth, which stands as the largest single shareholder of publicly traded companies worldwide. This marks the largest dip in the fund’s investments since late 2023.
