ARENDAL, Norway, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Norway's $2.3 trillion
wealth fund, the world's largest, held a 0.05% stake in SpaceX
worth $1.22 billion as of June 30, it said for the
first time on Tuesday, in an updated list of holdings.
The fund's stake in SpaceX is modest when compared against
other tech stocks the fund holds.
It held a 1.28% stake worth $62 billion in Nvidia ( NVDA ),
a 1.24% stake worth $52 billion in Apple ( AAPL ), a 1.17% stake
worth $50 billion in Alphabet, a 1.27% stake worth $35
billion in Microsoft ( MSFT ) and a 1.7% stake worth $34
billion in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ( TSM ), fund
data showed.
Investing the Norwegian state's revenues from oil and gas
production, the fund owns on average 1.5% of all listed
companies globally, making it the world's largest single
investor.
Overall the fund is invested in some 7,100 companies
globally. It also invests in stocks, property and renewable
projects.
SpaceX shares rallied sharply in the wake of its
record-breaking IPO in late June, followed by a sharp pullback
as investors questioned whether a lofty valuation of 77 times
expected revenue could be justified.
Founder Elon Musk holds over 80% of voting rights and
combines the roles of chair, chief executive officer and chief
technology officer, raising questions about the company's
governance and the rights of independent shareholders such as
the fund.
The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund will hold a press
conference on Wednesday at 0800 GMT to present its half-year
results.
