- Norwegians are becoming increasingly aware of the need to save both more and smarter than before in order to maintain their desired standard of living when they retire. All arrows point towards growth in the Norwegian savings market. With the acquisition of Skagen, Storebrand is the second-largest player in the individual Norwegian savings market and we are well positioned for double-digit growth in the market for savings going forward, says Odd Arild Grefstad.
