Abstract

The problem of efficient management of a company or a fund (including a sovereign wealth fund) for more than half a century exist in many countries around the world. One of the problematic issues is how to organize the functioning of the fund and to develop its effective investment strategy. This paper compares the basic parameters of the management of the “National Welfare Fund of Russia” and the “Pension Fund of Norway—Global.” The both funds have a similar organization of management. The profits from the oil industry are invested in the fund, which are then invested in international assets. The research conducts a detailed analysis of the main parameters of the funds using statistical data: dynamics of volume, yield, and investment strategies of these funds in the era of change. The article compares the funds’ organizational structure and discusses how they can influence their efficient management.
