dc.description.abstractEt aktuelt tema de siste årene, har vært om Statens pensjonsfond utland (SPU) skal være investert i Energi selskaper. Petroleumsindustrien utgjør en stor del av Norges økonomi. Derfor er Norge sterkt ekspontert mot risiko tilknyttet denne industrien. Noen argumenterer for at Norges konsentrasjonsrisiko vil bli redusert ved å eliminere disse selskapene fra SPU, grunnet Norges petroleumsreservers nære relasjon til Energisektoren. For å undersøke disse forholdene, har vi konstruert et omfattende datasett for å beregne de vektede operasjonelle kontantstrømmene til hver ICB-sektor. Disse kontantstrømmene sammenlignes med Norges netto kontantstrøm fra petroleumsindustrien (GPCF). Våre resultater viser en tydelig relasjon mellom Energisektoren og GPCF, også i forhold til andre sektorer. I tillegg har vi analysert forholdet mellom Energi-undersektorene og GPCF. Vi finner at undersektorene Exploration & Production (oppstrømsselskaper) og Integrated Oil & Gas (integrerte olje og gass selskaper) er begge sterkt korrelert med GPCF. Som et resultat av dette, anbefaler vi å ta ut disse undersektorene fra Statens pensjonsfond utland, og dermed redusere Norges konsentrasjonsrisiko.
dc.description.abstractThe matter of whether or not the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) should invest in Energy companies has been up for discussion in recent years. Norway is highly dependent on the petroleum industry, and is thus vulnerable to the risks related with this industry. Some argue removing such companies from the GPFG will reduce Norway's concentration risk, and that Energy companies and the Norwegian petroleum reserves are closely related. To examine these relations, we have constructed a comprehensive data-set in order to calculate the weighted operating cash flows of each ICB-industry. These industry cash flows are compared to the Norwegian government's petroleum cash flows (GPCF). Our results indicate that the Energy industry and the GPCF are closely related, both in absolute terms, and compared to other industries. In addition, we have analyzed the relation between the subsectors of the Energy industry and the GPCF. We find that both the subsectors Exploration & Production and Integrated Oil & Gas (86% of the Energy industry) are highly correlated with the GPCF. As a result of this, we recommend removing these two subsectors from the Government Pension Fund Global to reduce Norway's concentration risk.
