The Allocator Class

Introducing The Allocator Class: Nicolai Tangen and the New Visibility of Sovereign Wealth

A new series on the people shaping the world's largest pools of long-term capital — starting with the CEO of the world's largest single fund.

The Allocator Class — Nicolai Tangen

Today we are launching The Allocator Class — a new Universal Asset Owners series profiling the people shaping the world's largest pools of long-term capital.

Our first profile is a fitting one: Nicolai Tangen, Chief Executive Officer of Norges Bank Investment Management — steward of Norway's roughly $2 trillion oil fund, by its own account the largest single owner in global listed equity markets, with holdings in more than 8,000 companies. We look at his unusual path, his record, and how he has made sovereign wealth more transparent, more conversational, and more closely watched.
