Sovereign Wealth Fund Tracker

Unparalleled coverage of Sovereign Wealth Funds, their investment strategies, and the controversies that surround them

Countries rich in foreign exchange reserves – often oil-derived – have emerged as some of the most powerful global investors. Some $80 billion has already been ploughed into bank shares or bank equity stakes in the U.S. alone. In the wake of the current credit crunch, developed economies have generally welcomed the timely infusion of capital, but there is growing unease too. Governments are concerned that foreign ownership of key domestic assets (including corporations, banks and infrastructure) may threaten national security, and they are pressing the funds to be more transparent about their management and strategy.
