Frequently asked questions
What happened to Songdalen Kommune Pension Fund after the municipal merger?
Its assets and liabilities were absorbed into the Kristiansand Kommune pension scheme when Songdalen municipality merged with Kristiansand in 2020. The legacy fund no longer operates as a separate legal or investment entity. All administration now runs through Kristiansand's central finance function.
Does the fund invest in private markets or just public securities?
It allocates to private commercial real estate through both direct Norwegian property vehicles and blind-pool funds like DNB Scandinavian Property Fund. However, it also holds a publicly listed fixed-income fund for liquidity. No venture, private equity, or infrastructure commitments beyond real estate have been disclosed.
Who makes investment decisions for the absorbed Songdalen assets?
No dedicated chief investment officer or investment committee is publicly identified for the legacy Songdalen plan. Decision-making authority rests with Kristiansand Kommune's treasury and finance department, under the supervision of the municipal council.
Is the fund subject to any external oversight beyond Norwegian regulation?
Yes. It participates in stress tests conducted by EIOPA, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, as part of EU-wide pension fund monitoring. The fund also benchmarks through ASSS, a network aggregating management data for large Norwegian municipalities.
What is the fund's exposure to Oslo's commercial property market?
It holds direct stakes in two Oslo office assets: Oslo Kontoreiendom III AS and Helsfyr Kontorinvest III AS. These are unlisted vehicles, suggesting the fund targets income-generating office properties in the capital region alongside regional holdings like SVG Property AS in Stavanger.
