Abstract

[Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) have caused a great deal of discussion and concern because of their size, the speed of their growth, their ownership and, more importantly, what they stand for in a changing global economy – a new group of investors controlled, managed and supported by their states. In 2007 and 2008, a scare campaign about the nature of SWFs was rampant in the USA and some European countries: investment from SWFs, it was argued, was threatening some countries’ national interest by hollowing out economies and national flag companies, by taking over national resources and by controlling national infrastructures.]
