Yngve Slyngstad: decision time for Norway’s oil fund | Financial Times

Yngve Slyngstad: decision time for Norway’s oil fund | Financial Times:

The head of the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund has no secretary. Yngve Slyngstad, chief executive of Norges Bank Investment Management, which oversees Norway’s $1tn oil fund, books his own travel and arranges his own meetings.

The 55-year-old took a similarly idiosyncratic path to the top. He has four masters degrees — law, business management, economics and political sciences.

Studies over, he went on the road for four years, aiming to travel from Patagonia to Alaska (he stopped in New York), and Alexandria to Cape Town, before spending six months alone in an Arctic cabin studying German philosophy.
