You wouldn't know them; the funds themselves are Norwegian. IIRC, the reference indexes amount to 50% MSCI World, 16% MSCI Emerging Markets, 16% MSCI Small Cap and 16% VINX Benchmark (Nordics).

Philosophy is diversification, broad coverage of both developed and developing markets, with both high-tech niche industries (heavily overrepresented in the Nordics) and global growth companies (overrepresented in the Small Cap index). Been considering specifically adding China, but dislike the political risk and human rights of top leadership. You might argue that the USA is still overrepresented in this allocation.

I was probably underestimating the number of companies covered by this; the Small Cap index alone represents more than 4500 companies. Although I doubt that my funds actually own all of them.

Cost is around 0.3% per year.
