Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund Plans to Cut U.S. Treasury Holdings

Norway's sovereign wealth fund, with a portfolio worth $2.3 trillion, plans to reduce its U.S. Treasury holdings from 34.1% to 21.9%. The fund aims to cut its government bond allocation from 70% to 50% to better diversify risk and enhance returns. It also intends to increase investments in nongovernment U.S. fixed income from 16.2% to 27.6%. This shift comes as long-dated Treasury yields reach decade-highs, indicating potential volatility in the market and the need for investors to monitor changes in traditional government bond holders.
