SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS UNCOVERED: DO YOU KNOW WHO OWNS THE WORLD?
This seminar uncovers one of the most unknown investor-class globally: Sovereign Wealth Funds. With $7.2 trillion in assets under management, these funds owned by governments represent a thread but also an opportunity to renew the capitalism as we know it. The seminar will provide an explanation of why they became so prevalent, the fears of recipient countries, the sectors they prefer to invest, and the role they play as active shareholders and responsible owners in areas such as environment, social and governance.
