Résumé
[en] This thesis analyzes the performance of Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) from 1998 to 2024 using the BHB model and a factor-based extension. Return-Based Style Analysis (RBSA) identifies market risk and corporate bonds as key return drivers.
The results show that security selection was the main source of excess returns, while allocation effects were slightly negative. Performance varied during crises, with notable underperformance in 2008. The factor model revealed mixed outcomes, with positive selection effects sometimes offset by weak allocation.
The study suggests improving selection strategies, using crisis-responsive benchmarks, and incorporating geopolitical and bond-specific factors. Despite data limitations, it provides a solid framework for evaluating SWF performance across market conditions.
