Norway fund excludes six companies after ethics review in West Bank, Gaza

OSLO, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- Norway's wealth fund on Monday named six companies it has excluded from its portfolio, citing an "unacceptable risk" that the firms contribute to serious violations of individual rights in situations of war and conflict.

The excluded firms are Israeli and U.S. companies, Norges Bank Investment Management, which oversees the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, said in a press release.
