CAIA Seattle cordially invites you to a Lunch and Learn event on Monday, February 5th. Dr. Keith Black will give a presentation on Sovereign Wealth as lunch is served.
There has been tremendous growth in the AUM and breadth of the sovereign wealth industry in recent years, with over 25 new funds being established since 2007, while assets have grown from $3 trillion in 2008 to over $7.3 trillion by 2017. What does the oil-funded Norway fund have in common with the FX-funded China Investment Corporation? How are SWFs allocating assets to alternative investments and what does this bode for the future of the alternative investment industry? What are the different types of SWFs, and how do their goals and source of income influence their asset allocation?
