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.

It was a pretty significant kronestyrking in the quarter. Then fall the value in Norwegian kroner, ” he says, and points out that it does not have anything to say for the purchasing power of the fund in abroad.

In addition, minister of finance Siv Jensen, and the government taken out a further 30 billion of the fund for use in the state.

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.
