The chief executive of Norway’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund has been absolved of wrongdoing following a probe into his decision to accept a lavish trip from the man who would ultimately succeed him.

Yngve Slyngstad didn’t breach ethical guidelines when he stepped on a luxury flight from Philadelphia to Oslo that was paid for by hedge fund manager Nicolai Tangen, according to Norges Bank, which manages the fund.
