- Abstract
- There are now more than 100 Sovereign Wealth Funds around the world and some exist for more than 50 years. Currently, they face headwinds due to the end of the commodity supercycle and to gradual reduction of the global imbalances. We review what remains from their original definitions and discuss the SWFs’ alternative institutional design for reaching their objectives (saving, stabilization and development). We find that SWFs are more heterogenous than ever. We then review the available literature on the assessment of their effectiveness in stabilizing the economy, economic development and long-term savings. We find that this is a severely understudied area. By extension, not all SWF have had a successful track-record and the world has moved into a period with regular SWF liquidations, which may be a new area research.
