Institutions were also net buyers to the tune of NOK3.8bn (€390m). Of this, some NOK2.9bn went to equity funds, and NOK1bn went to fixed income funds.

Foreign investors were net buyers through January, putting NOK0.2bn and NOK0.8bn respectively into local equity and fixed income funds.

Across all investor groups, net inflows hit NOK8.7bn (€893m) through the month. This is the highest since February 2018.
