Norway’s SWF Lives By The 4% Rule!

In an interesting article about the art scene is Oslo is this little nugget;

…Norway’s $745 billion sovereign wealth fund, the so-called Oljefondet. Norway’s 12-year-old sustainability-minded handlingsregelen, or “spending rule,” stipulates that the government can use only 4 percent of that fund in each year’s national budget.

We’ve discussed the 4% rule here probably at least 100 times over the years. While no withdrawal strategy is necessarily perfect the math behind it is reasonably sound.
