The fund employs external providers for actuarial services, risk management and auditing, including Gabler Pensjonstjenester AS and Ernst & Young AS. It participates in industry groups such as Pensjonskasseforeningen. Governance centers on a board chaired by Jan Thomsen with Lars Hammersbøen as daily leader, both drawn from or appointed in connection with Norges Bank.
