Norway $1.8 trillion fund ended 2024 with tech-heavy top ten.

Norway’s $1.8 trillion wealth fund ended 2024 with a tech-heavy top ten, just as the success of the artificial intelligence model developed by Chinese startup DeepSeek raises the specter of a correction in the AI-driven stock rally.

With technology stocks accounting for nine out of its ten largest holdings as of the end of last year, the fund has reaped the rewards of advances in artificial intelligence and the surge in demand for semiconductor components.

Norges Bank Investment Management, the world’s single-biggest owner of publicly traded stocks, increased its holdings in Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, and Nvidia Corp. from a year earlier, according to a list of holdings the fund published on its website. It also added to its position in Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc.

The fund’s 1.22% stake in Apple was valued at about $46.2 billion at the end of last year, while the stake in Microsoft was worth about $43.8 billion. Last year was the first year when it published a half-year holdings list, as well as the full year.
