Norway’s $1.9 trillion sovereign wealth fund said late Wednesday that it has placed Toronto-Dominion Bank under observation for a period of four years over financial crime concerns.

The wealth fund is managed by Norway’s central bank, but decisions to exclude or place companies on observation are made based on recommendations from an ethics council appointed by the ministry of finance.
