The future value of the fund depends on sustainable growth, well-functioning markets and value creation at the companies we invest in.All of the fund’s investment decisions are based on in-depth research and analysis.

We help academic institutions to attract international researchers, reward outstanding research contributions, issue grants to students for doctoral studies in financial economics, and provide long-term incentives to promote high-quality financial research.A research grant from Norges Bank Investment Management for Professor Harrison Hong of Columbia University has resulted in the publication of a special issue of The Review of Financial Studies dedicated exclusively to climate finance.Today, we publish an asset manager perspective where we explain our approach to shareholder proposals on sustainability. We recommend evaluating proposals according to materiality, prescriptiveness and a careful consideration of company context.On 11 June, the Supervisory Council of Norges Bank sent a letter to the Storting with a briefing on the Supervisory Council’s work in connection to the appointment of Nicolai Tangen as new CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM). The reason for the letter is the great public interest in the appointment and employment contract that has been agreed.
