Deep Dive into Sovereign Wealth Funds and Long-Term Asset Owners.

Join Michael J.

Attendees will be guided through a number of challenging topics and normative standards, including the following:

• The historical development of sovereign wealth funds and long-term pools of capital, and their rise in twenty-first century global financial markets as a source of stable, countercyclical, long-term returns.
• A breakdown of the different types of sovereign investment institutions.
• An overview of the various mandates and policy objectives under which public asset owners are established, including: macroeconomic stabilization, wealth diversification, precautionary savings, intergenerational sharing of temporary resources, and advancement of sovereign political interests.
• An analysis of how sovereign funds develop investment philosophies, strategies, and models that leverage their unique endowments.
• An examination of corporate governance structures and best practices, and the integration of environmental and sustainability considerations.
• A look ahead at emerging trends in sovereign asset owner investment and portfolio composition, and their influence on global economic integration, capital market development, and promotion of responsible investment practices.
