Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The September 2013 electoral victory of a center-right coalition after eight years of Socialist rule promised to bring changes to Norway, including to the countrys vaunted sovereign wealth fund. Erna Solberg, the leader of Norway's Conservative Party and the countrys new prime minister, had promised to review the funds structure and policies. During the election campaign, she noted that the investments "might be too big to be handled by just one fund." She added, "You could split it either on getting different handlers to compete better, or have different objectives for your investments in different funds. Were going to explore it, develop and see if its a good idea."
Book Synopsis Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund by : Ole Bjørn Røste
Download or read book Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund written by Ole Bjørn Røste and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book elaborates on how Norway has managed to convert a large fraction of its endowment of hydrocarbons below the seabed of Norwegian waters into financial wealth, invested in the world’s capital markets. Further, it explains how this wealth is managed. Under the current guidelines, only the assessed return on investment may be allotted to public budgets. This ensures that the wealth will benefit both current and future generations. The capital is gathered in the Sovereign Wealth Fund – or State Pension Fund Global (SPF-G) –, which is intended to maximize capital value without exceeding acceptable risks. The book offers new insights into the history and management of the fund, examines its successes,and discusses future challenges. Given its scope, it appeals to scholars of economics, finance and political science, and to anyone interested in the sustainable investment of natural resource-based revenues.

Book Synopsis Trillion Dollar Baby by : Paul Cleary
Download or read book Trillion Dollar Baby written by Paul Cleary and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of its history, the remote and near-Arctic nation of Norway has eked out a marginal existence from fishing, forestry and shipping. That is, until Christmas Eve 1969, when oil was discovered off its southern coast. Rather than squandering the profits (as the UK did with its North Sea oil), when the revenue began flowing, Norway put in place the most robust and visionary framework for extracting maximum benefit from non-renewable resources found anywhere in the world. Less than twenty years after the country began investing in what is now called the Government Pension Fund, Norway has the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, with assets of US$870 billion. What's more, the fund is on track to hit the US$1 trillion mark by 2020. Not only is every Norwegian now a (krone) millionaire and enjoying the highest standard of living in the world, they will be able to hand down this endowment to their children and grandchildren. Norway's savings strategy means that it has taken a non-renewable resource and turned it into a financial asset that can last long after the oil wealth has been completely exhausted. This is the story of how they did it.

Book Synopsis The Norwegian Oil Fund. A Principal-Agent Analysis of Political Decisions by : Alexander Rühl
Download or read book The Norwegian Oil Fund. A Principal-Agent Analysis of Political Decisions written by Alexander Rühl and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, University of applied sciences, Munich, language: English, abstract: This assignment investigates the decisions that were made by Norway's Finance Minister Siv Jensen and Prime Minister Erna Solberg in 2016 to withdraw money from the Government Pension Fund Global in order to compensate for a governmental budget deficit. The starting point will be a brief overview over Norway’s economic situation and a look into the structure and the investment strategy of the oil fund. The analysis of the decision to plunge into the fund is based on the Principal-Agent Theory and the Consumption-Saving Decision and therefore these theories are explained further on. The political decision is then analysed based on these theories, and outcomes of alternative decisions are depicted.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Natural Resource Funds by : Eyene Okpanachi
Download or read book The Political Economy of Natural Resource Funds written by Eyene Okpanachi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to foster a better understanding of the particular challenges faced by resource-dependent countries or jurisdictions in managing their resource revenues through natural resource funds (NRFs). It explores the varieties of natural resource management strategies as dictated primarily by domestic politics, and how the potential negative distributional consequences of resource wealth management (the resource curse) may add political dimensions and potential conflicts to decisions about NRFs in ways that other sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) do not experience. By bridging the existing academic and practical knowledge gap arising from the limited attention given to the domestic politics of NRFs and state-society relations, this edited book is a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, and civil society actors in resource-driven economies and especially those interested in learning from comparative experiences of natural resource wealth management through NRFs.

Book Synopsis Pioneering Portfolio Management by : David F. Swensen
Download or read book Pioneering Portfolio Management written by David F. Swensen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the now-classic Pioneering Portfolio Management was first published, the global investment landscape has changed dramatically -- but the results of David Swensen's investment strategy for the Yale University endowment have remained as impressive as ever. Year after year, Yale's portfolio has trumped the marketplace by a wide margin, and, with over $20 billion added to the endowment under his twenty-three-year tenure, Swensen has contributed more to Yale's finances than anyone ever has to any university in the country. What may have seemed like one among many success stories in the era before the Internet bubble burst emerges now as a completely unprecedented institutional investment achievement. In this fully revised and updated edition, Swensen, author of the bestselling personal finance guide Unconventional Success, describes the investment process that underpins Yale's endowment. He provides lucid and penetrating insight into the world of institutional funds management, illuminating topics ranging from asset-allocation structures to active fund management. Swensen employs an array of vivid real-world examples, many drawn from his own formidable experience, to address critical concepts such as handling risk, selecting advisors, and weathering market pitfalls. Swensen offers clear and incisive advice, especially when describing a counterintuitive path. Conventional investing too often leads to buying high and selling low. Trust is more important than flash-in-the-pan success. Expertise, fortitude, and the long view produce positive results where gimmicks and trend following do not. The original Pioneering Portfolio Management outlined a commonsense template for structuring a well-diversified equity-oriented portfolio. This new edition provides fund managers and students of the market an up-to-date guide for actively managed investment portfolios.
Book Synopsis Sovereign Wealth Funds by : Gordon L. Clark
Download or read book Sovereign Wealth Funds written by Gordon L. Clark and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The worldwide rise of sovereign wealth funds is emblematic of the ongoing transformation of nation-state economic prospects. Sovereign Wealth Funds maps the global footprints of these financial institutions, examining their governance and investment management, and issues of domestic and international legitimacy. Through a variety of case studies--from the China Investment Corporation to the funds of several Gulf states--the authors show that the forces propelling the adoption and development of sovereign wealth funds vary by country. The authors also show that many of these investment institutions have identifiable commonalities of form and function that match the core institutions of Western financial markets. The authors suggest that the international legitimacy of sovereign wealth funds is based on the degree to which their design and governance match Western expectations about investment management. Undercutting commonplace assumptions about the emerging world of the twenty-first century, the authors demonstrate that even small countries with large and globally oriented sovereign wealth funds are likely to play a significant role in international relations. Sovereign Wealth Funds considers how such financial organizations have altered not only the face of finance, but also the international geopolitical landscape.

Book Synopsis Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds by : Richard Hinz
Download or read book Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds written by Richard Hinz and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries around the world are increasingly relying on individual pension savings accounts to provide income in old age for their citizens. Although these funds have now been in place for several decades, their performance is usually measured using methods that are not meaningful in relation to this long-term objective. The recent global financial crisis has highlighted the need to develop better performance evaluation methods that are consistent with the retirement income objective of pension funds. Compiling research derived from a partnership among the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and three private partners, 'Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds' discusses the theoretical basis and key implementation issues related to the design of performance benchmarks based on life-cycle savings and investment principles. The book begins with an evaluation of the financial performance of funded pension systems using the standard mean variance framework. It then provides a discussion of the limitations inherent to applying these methods to pension funds and outlines the many other issues that should be addressed in developing more useful and meaningful performance measures through the formulation of pension-specific benchmark portfolios. Practical implementation issues are addressed through empirical examples of how such benchmarks could be developed. The book concludes with commentary and observations from several noted pension experts about the need for a new approach to performance measurement and the impact of the recent global financial crisis on pension funds.
