COPENHAGEN, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Norway's central bank said on Tuesday it had received 82 applications for the position of CEO of the country's vast sovereign wealth fund.

The list included the current CEO Nicolai Tangen who last year said he would seek a new term as he felt the job was not yet done. (Reporting by Stine Jacobsen, editing by Terje Solsvik)

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
