Norges Bank's Market Strategies

The proceeds from Norway’s oil and gas industry have reached $1.7 trillion – so how do its leaders manage that wealth to its citizens’ benefit? Emil Framnes, Global Head of Equity Trading and Transition at Norges Bank Investment Management, talks with Ronan and JR about how the fund invests that wealth across the more than 40 countries he and his team oversee. (Fun fact: The value of the fund per Norwegian, Framnes says, is about $200,000.) The trio also touches on topics including lit vs. dark trading, Norges’ bank’s perspective on market structure reform and whether or not we should accept chocolate as currency. The answer is yes.
