Norway’s $1.4 trillion sovereign wealth fund has started winding down its office in Shanghai as Singapore takes over as its hub in Asia.

The fund is initiating the process to close its representative office in the city due to “operational considerations,” Norges Bank Investment Management said on Thursday. The move doesn’t affect the investment strategy in China, it said.
