Norways 1. 1 Trillion Dollar Sovereign Wealth Fund

Norway s citizens own the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, worth 1. 1 Trillion dollars. This was largely due to long term thinking by the Norwegian government, who wanted to make sure oil wealth from the 20th century, didn t get used up within the current generation. Now with such a fund, future generations can reap some of the benefits of the oil wealth that Norway currently enjoys.
