  2. It's around 7000 billion NOK, which is ballpark 1000 billion usd, or a trillion I believe you say.

    It's called 'Statens pensjonsfond utland'
    Roughly translated 'the pensionfund for the state, abroad'.

    The policy is for the government to use maximum 4% of the growth of this fund yearly, to cover running expenses.

    This is called 'handlingsregelen', 'the rules of engagement.

    There are a lot of ethical guidelines as to what we can put the money in (no coal, no tobacco, etc), and we're running out of places to put all the money.

    60% stocks, 35% interest bonds, 5% property
