Abstract

[fre] Les fonds souverains, qui sont des acteurs publics mis en place pour gérer d’une façon plus moderne les réserves en devises de plusieurs pays, ont souvent investi dans des valeurs sûres comme les titres publics ou les obligations corporate. Cependant, le changement du contexte mondial des années 2000, caractérisé par des rendements obligataires faibles les a poussés, comme tous les investisseurs de longs terme, à diversifier leurs placements et à intégrer dans leurs portefeuilles des actifs alternatifs offrant souvent des profits exceptionnels mais couplés à des niveaux de risque assez importants. La crise financière de 2008 a occasionné des pertes considérables pour tous ceux qui ont investi dans cette classe d’actifs, y compris les fonds souverains. Mais ces derniers restent positionnés sur ces actifs risqués, estimant qu’ils restent une valeur refuge surtout après la tourmente causée par la crise de la dette souveraine. .

Being a distinct public tool for managing foreign currency reserves of many countries Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) used to choose safe investments such as public securities or corporate bonds. However, given the global change over the last decade, which is characterized by low bond yields, SWFshave been driven, just like all long-term investors, to diversify their investments and to include in their portfolios a broader array of assets often offering exceptional profits but raising the specter of high risk levels. The 2008 financial crisis has brought considerable losses for all investors having invested in this array of assets and SWFs are among them. Nevertheless SWFs are still invested in these risky assets because they remain return-attractive, especially after the turmoil caused by the sovereign debt crisis. . Classification JEL : F59, G11, G15, G29.
