Government Pension Fund Norway, managed by Folketrygdfondet, recorded a profit of NOK 27 billion in 2024, corresponding to a return of 7.6%. At the end of the year, the fund's capital stood at NOK 381 billion.

In June 2024, the Norwegian Parliament passed the law establishing Statens fond i Tromsø. Now, the new fund has welcomed its first three employees and opened its office in Tromsø.

The return to the Government Pension Fund Norway (SPN), ownership follow-up and the proposal for a new asset management unit in Tromsø were among the issues discussed at the Storting’s annual hearing on the Government Pension Fund.

The Ministry of Finance has asked Folketrygdfondet to submit a proposal for a new asset management unit in Tromsø. ‘A vote of confidence in Folketrygdfondet’s track record as an asset manager,’ says Kjetil Houg, CEO of Folketrygdfondet.
