Investment philosophy and strategy
“ Are you confident enough to do contrarian bets and follow your conviction even when they go against the market? Popular opinion is not always correct, but you need to be aware of the ego-pitfall” Malin Norberg, Co-chief Investment Officer Asset Strategies, Norges Bank Investment Management

Building successful investment organisations
“ Talking about psychological safety is easy, especially when things are going smoothly. But when the chips are down and you feel like you are in the storm, that is when you as an individual and we as an organisation are really tested.’’ Patrick du Plessis, Global Head of Risk Management, Norges Bank Investment Management

What characterises the best investors? Psychology
“A good investor combines passionate curiosity with a relentless pursuit of truth, integrating diverse information to gain unique insights. They continuously seek knowledge and creatively connect unrelated data. Be a learning machine.” Andreas Sæle Helland, Associate Portfolio Manager Equities, Norges Bank Investment Management

What characterises the best investors? Behavioural
“ I don’t believe in miracles. Even though they sometimes happen. Great performance comes from working hard, doing the right things, and stop doing the wrong ones. Sounds easy, right?” Bjørn Mannsverk, Mental Coach and Head of the Team Performance Programme, Norges Bank Investment Management
