The Government Pension Fund of Norway comprises two entirely separate sovereign wealth funds owned by the Government of Norway: * (The Government Pension Fund Global (formerly The Government Petroleum Fund) ) * (The Government Pension Fund Norway (formerly The National Insurance Scheme Fund) ) ==The Government Pension Fund== The Government Pension Fund ((ノルウェー語:Statens pensjonsfond Utland), SPU) is a fund into which the surplus wealth produced by Norwegian petroleum income is deposited. The fund changed name in January 2006 from its previous name, ''The Petroleum Fund of Norway''. The fund is commonly referred to as The Oil Fund (Norwegian: ''Oljefondet''). As of the valuation in June 2011, it was the largest pension fund in the world, although it is not a pension fund in the conventional sense as it derives its financial backing from oil profits and not pension contributions. As of 30 September 2014 its total value is NOK 5.534 trillion〔http://www.swfinstitute.org/fund-rankings/〕 ($857.1 billion), holding one percent of global equity markets. With 1.78 percent of European stocks,〔 it is said to be the largest stock owner in Europe. The purpose of the petroleum fund is to invest parts of the large surplus generated by the Norwegian petroleum sector, generated mainly from taxes of companies, but also payment for license to explore as well as the State's Direct Financial Interest and dividends from partly state-owned Statoil. Current revenue from the petroleum sector is estimated to be at its peak period and to decline over the next decades. The Petroleum Fund was established in 1990 after a decision by the country's legislature to counter the effects of the forthcoming decline in income and to smooth out the disruptive effects of highly fluctuating oil prices. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Government Pension Fund of Norway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
