RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Norway Model JF The Journal of Portfolio Management FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 67 OP 81 DO 10.3905/jpm.2012.38.2.067 VO 38 IS 2 A1 David Chambers A1 Elroy Dimson A1 Antti Ilmanen YR 2012 UL https://pm-research.com/content/38/2/67.abstract AB Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) was recently ranked the largest fund on the planet. It is also highly rated for its professional, low-cost, transparent, and socially responsible approach to asset management. Investment professionals increasingly refer to Norway as being a model for managing financial assets. Chambers, Dimson, and Ilmanen present and evaluate the strategies followed by the GPFG, review its long-term performance, and describe how it responded to the financial crisis. They conclude the article with some lessons that investors can draw from Norway’s approach to asset management, contrasting the Norway model with the Yale model of pension fund management.TOPICS: Pension funds, global, equity portfolio management
