World's largest sovereign wealth fund posts record $184 billion profit as it reveals SpaceX stake for the first time
NBIM’s $2.34 trillion portfolio sees historic returns; first-time disclosure of investment in Elon Musk’s space firm

Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global, managed by the Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), has reported a record profit of $184 billion. The result brings the fund’s total valuation to approximately $2.34 trillion, reinforcing its position as the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund.

In a significant disclosure, the fund revealed its investment in SpaceX for the first time. The specific value or percentage of the stake held in the private space company was not detailed in the report. This marks the first public confirmation of NBIM’s involvement in the firm founded by Elon Musk.

The fund maintains a vast and diversified portfolio, holding stakes in more than 7,000 companies across 60 countries. The disclosure of the SpaceX investment adds to the fund’s profile as it navigates a complex global market environment, which has recently seen activity related to US stock markets and broader discussions on artificial intelligence.

NBIM’s performance figures reflect the fund’s substantial scale and reach. The record profit underscores the returns generated across its extensive holdings, which span multiple sectors and geographies. The fund’s annual reporting continues to provide critical insight into the movements of one of the most influential institutional investors in global finance.

The announcement coincides with broader market developments, including recent coverage of Elon Musk’s vision for artificial intelligence and movements in US equity markets. However, the primary focus of the NBIM report remains its own financial performance and the expansion of its disclosed portfolio holdings.
