Took the money
But despite the fact that the investment gave positive returns on a total of 240 billion, fell the value of the fund by 58 billion between July and september.
It is caused by two things. For the first strengthened the krone exchange rate against hovedvalutaene in the course of the quarter. The reduced fund size with 268 billion.
– the Fund is only invested abroad. When to imaginary switch this back to Norwegian kroner, has something to say how the exchange rate has gone against the currencies in which the shares are invested in, ” says Grande to E24.

Brexit-jump on the property
Eiendomsinvesteringene had a negative return in this year’s first and second quarter, but in the third quarter was a solid yield of 2.4 percent.
It is caused by, among other things, that the value of the properties in the united Kingdom have been revised upwards in the wake of brexit.
– Previous quarter ended six days after the referendum. When selected takstmennene, looking at the buildings, saying that the uncertainty around the estimates was greater than they tend to be, ” says Grande.
We took account of the uncertainty by reducing the value. Now says takstmennene that the uncertainty that was then, not here anymore.
It makes that the value of the properties will be revised upward again.
