10. Enter Sovereign Wealth Funds Keeping their Impact in Proper Perspective In the late 2000s, SWFs came into the spotlight, but their impact on investment flows was overblown Growth in importance since the crisis, as government investment promotion agencies court them. By April 2009, SWFs had $3-5 bn of assets under management, mostly in high quality bonds Equity investments a much smaller part of portfolio until late 90s; but have since accelerated with about 700 documented equity investments June 2005-March 2009 But SWF investment still less significant in the global investment arena than media attention suggests: By way of comparison, pension funds, mutual funds and insurance funds each have approximately $20- 23 trillion of assets Meanwhile, annual FDI flows in the past 10 years ranged between $600bn to $2tn in 2007. FDI from SWFs was only $10bn in 2007: 0.2% of their total assets, and 0.6% of the FDI flows (Unctad) Source: fDi Intelligence from the Financial Times Ltd (www.fdimarkets.com)www.fdimarkets.com
