Deep News04-23 20:43

Norway's sovereign wealth fund reported a 1.9% loss for the first quarter of the year, primarily driven by its positions in US technology stocks. According to a statement released by Norges Bank Investment Management on Thursday, the fund's value decreased by 1.27 trillion Norwegian kroner ($137 billion). By the end of March, the total value of the fund stood at approximately 20 trillion kroner.

"The results reflect challenging market conditions during the quarter," Deputy CEO Trond Grande stated. "While fixed income and real estate investments were less affected, the decline in equity markets, particularly the drop in share prices of major US technology firms, determined the final outcome."

Similar to many other large investors, the performance of the world's largest sovereign wealth fund has been heavily influenced by big tech stocks in recent quarters. Its major holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Nvidia.
