Classification of Mutual Funds

All Mutual Funds reporting NAV prices to Oslo Børs may classify their funds according to the standard for information and classification from the Norwegian Mutual Fund Association.

Classified funds will be listed together with relevant comparable funds in newspapers and on web sites. This is where the OB Mutual Fund Feed is the source of information.

Funds are classified in one of the following categories:

  • Equity funds
  • Balanced funds
  • Bond funds, Liquidity fund or
  • Other funds depending on the investment mandate of each fund.

Within each category the funds are divided into different groups.
