Sovereign wealth funds to increase their investments in risky assets again
But the focus is shifting towards emerging markets, infrastructure as well
as alternative energies
Sovereign wealth funds have developed into important market participants
and manage more than USD 3.5 trillion worldwide. Since 2002, they have
multiplied their assets, even though they have been affected by the
financial crisis. Sovereign wealth funds currently sit on high cash
reserves, which will not help them in the long term, As a result, they will
have to increase their investments in risky assets again. This is the
conclusion of a study by Dr. Bernhard Eschweiler, Senior Economic Advisor
of Silvia Quandt&Cie. AG. He says: 'sovereign wealth fund investments -
unlike 2007 and 2008 - will become smaller and more diversified with the
focus shifting from industrial countries towards emerging markets as well
as from financial institutions to infrastructure and alternative energies.'
Unlike central banks' foreign reserves, which had been well shielded by
conservative investment policies, sovereign wealth funds have had
significant exposure to shares and alternative products which have been
affected considerably by the financial crisis. Excluding net asset inflows,
sovereign wealth funds have lost approximately 15 percent of their asset
values in 2008/09. In addition, asset inflows fell dramatically due to
lower oil prices and the recession and some sovereign wealth funds had to
support their governments' stabilisation measures. Now with recovery under
way, sovereign wealth funds are experiencing rising inflows again. That
said a return to the size of pre-crisis inflows seems unlikely. Even with
less buoyant growth, however, total assets of sovereign wealth funds will
probably exceed six trillion dollars in five years time.
