Book excerpt: Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are becoming increasingly important in the international monetary and financial system, attracting growing attention. SWFs are government-owned investment funds, set up for a variety of macroeconomic purposes. They are commonly funded by the transfer of foreign exchange assets that are invested long term, overseas. SWFs are not new, and some of the longer-established funds—for example those of Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore—have existed for decades. However, high oil prices, financial globalization, and sustained, large global imbalances have resulted in the rapid accumulation of foreign assets particularly by oil exporters and several Asian countries. As a result, the number and size of SWFs are rising fast and their presence in international capital markets is becoming more prominent.

Book Synopsis Sovereign Wealth Funds and Financial Stability—An Event Study Analysis by : Tao Sun
Download or read book Sovereign Wealth Funds and Financial Stability—An Event Study Analysis written by Tao Sun and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines financial stability issues that arise from the increased presence of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) in global financial markets by assessing whether and how stock markets react to the announcements of investments and divestments to firms by SWFs using an event study approach. Based on 166 publicly traceable events collected on investments and divestments by major SWFs during the period from 1990 to 2009, the paper evaluates the short-term financial impact of SWFs on selected public equity markets in which they invest. The impact is analyzed on different sectors (financial and nonfinancial), actions (buy and sell), market types (developed and emerging markets), and level of corporate governance (high and low score). Results, based on these 166 events, show that there was no significant destabilizing effect of SWFs on equity markets, which is consistent with anecdotal evidence.

Book Synopsis Setting up a Sovereign Wealth Fund: Some Policy and Operational Considerations by : Yinqiu Lu
Download or read book Setting up a Sovereign Wealth Fund: Some Policy and Operational Considerations written by Yinqiu Lu and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper offers a policy and operational "roadmap" to policymakers considering setting up an SWF. It should also be of interest to policymakers in countries where SWFs are already in place, to review their existing policies and operations. Finally, it offers an opportunity to identify areas where research in macroeconomics and finance should give further answers as to the adequacy of existing practice related to the setting up and management of SWFs, an area where practical considerations often lead theoretical research. For instance, policymakers should optimally consider both their sovereign assets and liabilities together with their macroeconomic objectives, when setting up an SWF.

Book Synopsis Investment Objectives of Sovereign Wealth Funds by : Jukka Pihlman
Download or read book Investment Objectives of Sovereign Wealth Funds written by Jukka Pihlman and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While SWF investment objectives to some extent reflect inherent characteristics, notable differences in strategic asset allocation (SAA) exist even amongst SWFs of similar types. Even so, this paper shows that the global crisis may have changed SWF’s asset allocations in ways that may not be ideal or justified in all cases and that a review of investment objectives may be warranted. It also argues for regular macro-risk assessments for the sovereign, the continued importance of SWFs as a stabilizer in international capital markets, as well as the active role they could play in international regulatory reform.
Book Synopsis Sovereign Wealth Funds by : Christopher Balding
Download or read book Sovereign Wealth Funds written by Christopher Balding and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereign wealth funds are a growing and dynamic force in international finance. The shifting international economic relations from capital rich states gives them new power in influencing the global agenda. Despite controlling trillions of dollars in the biggest companies in the world, little is known about the opaque funds of oil rich and non-democratic governments. This is the first book to compile a history of sovereign wealth funds recounting the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's involvement with the scandal-plagued BCCI bank and Chinese arms exports to Iran. By constructing a history within the proper context of oil driven surpluses and large inflationary pressures with no international investment framework, this book explains the development and growth of sovereign wealth funds. The economics of capital surplus countries and investment strategies are examined in order to better understand sovereign wealth fund creation and growth. In a straightforward and accessible style, the author examines the complex and amazing growth of an unknown group of investors controlling trillions of dollars worldwide.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Sovereign Wealth Funds by : Douglas J. Cumming
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Sovereign Wealth Funds written by Douglas J. Cumming and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) represent both an increasingly important - and potentially dominant - category of alternative investor, and a novel form for governments to project their interests both home and abroad. As such, they represent both economic actors and embody power vested in the financial and diplomatic resources they can leverage. Although at times they have acted in concert with other alternative investors, their intergenerational savings function should, in theory at least, promote more long-termist thinking. However, they may be impelled in towards greater short termism, in response to popular pressures, demands from predatory elites and/or unforeseen external shocks. Of all the categories of alternative investment, SWFs perhaps embody the most contradictory pressures, making for diverse and complex outcomes. The aim of this volume is to consolidate the present state of the art, and advance the field through new applied, conceptual and theoretical insights. The volume is ordered into chapters that explore thematic issues and country studies, incorporating novel insights in on the most recent developments in the SWF ecosystem. This handbook is organized into four sections and 23 chapters. The four sections are: Governance of SWFs, Political and Legal Aspects of SWFs, Investment Choices and Structures of SWFs, Country and Regional Analyses of SWFs.

Book Synopsis Sovereign wealth funds in theory and practice by : Jan Ander
Download or read book Sovereign wealth funds in theory and practice written by Jan Ander and published by Charles University in Prague, Karolinum Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suverénní fondy (Sovereign Wealth Funds, SWF) se v posledních letech stávají významnou součástí globálního finančního systému. Tyto instituce spravovaly ke konci roku 2013 více než 6 bilionů USD. SWF jsou státem vlastněné fondy založené za různým makroekonomickým účelem. Obvykle jsou financovány cizoměnovými příjmy států, které jsou následně investovány v zahraničí. Tato monografie se zabývá globální SWF z teoretického i praktického pohledu. Dále je zde diskutována teoretická možnost založení SWF v České republice. Autoři však dospívají k závěru, že po vzniku SWF není v naší zemi dostatečná poptávka ani ze strany politiků, ani ze strany voličů. Kniha je psána srozumitelným jazykem, a tudíž vhodná pro odbornou i širší veřejnost
Book Synopsis Sovereign Wealth Funds and International Political Economy by : Manda Shemirani
Download or read book Sovereign Wealth Funds and International Political Economy written by Manda Shemirani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, Shemirani provides a systematic methodology for the study of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) over their life span and emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in our approach towards the study of state capitalism. Applied in this book to the world's four largest SWFs - Government Pension Fund-Global of Norway, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority of the United Arab Emirates, Temasek of Singapore, and the National Wealth Fund of the Russian Federation, this methodology can also be applied to other funds or form a basis for further analytical studies of SWFs. In addition to its first hand approach, the book addresses concerns about the lack of transparency by offering insights into the functioning and investment strategies of the selected SWFs. Academics and students in international political economy, international finance and international business as well as financiers, business leaders, and policy makers, will find the subject and the approach of this book highly useful.

Book Synopsis Sovereign Wealth Funds and Long-Term Investing by : Patrick Bolton
Download or read book Sovereign Wealth Funds and Long-Term Investing written by Patrick Bolton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are state-owned investment funds with combined asset holdings that are fast approaching four trillion dollars. Recently emerging as a major force in global financial markets, SWFs have other distinctive features besides their state-owned status: they are mainly located in developing countries and are intimately tied to energy and commodities exports, and they carry virtually no liabilities and have little redemption risk, which allows them to take a longer-term investment outlook than most other institutional investors. Edited by a Nobel laureate, a respected academic at the Columbia Business School, and a longtime international banker and asset manager, this volume examines the specificities of SWFs in greater detail and discusses the implications of their growing presence for the world economy. Based on essays delivered in 2011 at a major conference on SWFs held at Columbia University, this volume discusses the objectives and performance of SWFs, as well as their benchmarks and governance. What are the opportunities for SWFs as long-term investments? How do they fulfill their socially responsible mission? And what role can SWFs play in fostering sustainable development and greater global financial stability? These are some of the crucial questions addressed in this one-of-a-kind volume.
