Strategic Connections
Investment
- NVIDIA: NBIM's own published holdings list confirms a 1.3% stake in NVIDIA worth tens of billions of dollars, among its most valuable single positions.
- Apple: NBIM holds a 1.22% stake in Apple, valued at approximately $46.2 billion at the end of 2024 according to the fund's own published holdings list.
- Microsoft Azure: NBIM holds a 1.3% stake in Microsoft, valued at approximately $43.8 billion at the end of 2024 according to the fund's own published holdings list.
- Alphabet (Google): NBIM holds and has increased its position in Alphabet, one of its largest technology holdings, according to the fund's own published holdings list.
- Amazon Web Services: NBIM holds and has increased its position in Amazon, one of its largest technology holdings, according to the fund's own published holdings list.
- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company: NBIM increased its position in TSMC during the first half of 2025, part of its broader technology and semiconductor equity allocation.
- Broadcom: NBIM holds a position in Broadcom, though it reduced this holding during the first half of 2025 alongside several other technology positions.
- ASML: NBIM holds a position in ASML, among its top 10 holdings, though it trimmed this stake in 2024 as part of a reallocation, citing country-risk diversification rather than a loss of conviction in the company.
Strategic Risks
- Passive, broadly diversified allocation means the fund is a long-term holder rather than a strategic AI investor with concentrated conviction
- Fund's transparent, rules-based mandate limits its ability to make opportunistic direct AI infrastructure investments the way Gulf funds do
Future Outlook
- Continued passive exposure to AI infrastructure leaders through broad index-tracking equity allocation
- Demonstrated resilience through volatility, having absorbed $164 billion in losses in 2022 before posting 15% returns in 2025
