Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment Behavior During Q2 2008
mercredi 12 novembre 2008
Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are shifting investments away from the United States and Europe and into the Middle East and Asian economies, according to research released today by Monitor Group, one of the world’s leading advisory and consulting firms. The trend, highlighted by Monitor Group in its April – June 2008 quarterly analysis of global SWF investments, indicates that SWFs are not exploiting current US or European downturns, but are focused on building opportunities in potentially lucrative emerging markets in the Middle East and Asia. Indeed, investments in these regions accounted for 68 per cent of the total value of all publicly-traded deals in this period. >suite
