Norway's $1T sovereign wealth fund shifts billions from Europe to North America

Norway's $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund should shift billions in investments from European stock markets and instead invest more in the United States, according to the central bank.

ReadingThis is not tactical rebalancing. This is structural. When a sovereign fund of this scale rotates, it signals a decade-long thesis, not a quarterly trade.
WatchThe next three quarters will show whether other Nordic funds follow. If they do, European venture and growth capital enters a three-year drought.

WatchMid-market and smaller credit funds will report Q2 flows by end of June. The largest ones will disappear the data into 'limited redemption periods.'
