- NBIM now has a management team with considerable international financial markets experience. An executive team has been established who will make NBIM well equipped to meet future challenges, says Yngve Slyngstad.
- With an international portfolio of around 8 000 companies, and offices in Oslo, London, New York and Shanghai, it is natural for NBIM to continue internationalising the organisation. We already have 20 nationalities among our 230 employees and will grow abroad in the years ahead. This generates a need for executives with broad international experience, says Yngve Slyngstad.
- Extensive organisational changes were implemented in 2008. A number of functions which were previously separated between equity and fixed income management, were integrated. In addition, risk management was significantly strengthened and fixed-income management was restructured. The establishment of a new executive structure, in tandem with the strengthening of the organisation with new international competence, completes the last phase of the transformation process.
- Knowledge and competence are imperative for achieving quality management performance and generating excess returns for the Fund. With the organisational changes and the establishment of the new management team, we are well equipped, says Yngve Slyngstad.
The new management team includes the following members:
- Yngve Slyngstad
Chief Executive Officer
- Stephen A. Hirsch
Deputy Chief Executive Officer
- Bengt O. Enge
Chief Investment Officer
- Jessica Irschick

- Trond Grande
