Corporate Governance and Sovereign Wealth Funds: A Contradiction of Terms?

Abstract

Sovereign Wealth Funds are the largest and fastest growing institutional investor group in the world today. They are state owned funds which invest foreign exchange reserves in the equity and debt of companies overseas. SWFs from China and oil exporting Middle Eastern countries are the biggest in terms of asset size. They own equity in iconic global companies. This has raised alarms about the strategic use of SWF investments to serve national interests, and the extent to which SWFs are concerned with the concept of corporate governance itself. This paper examines governance issues in the context of SWF investments, and suggests measures India can take to benefit from such investments .
