Abstract

In recent years sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) have become increasingly important as institutional investors, both in numerical terms and in terms of assets under management (Aizenman and Glick, 2007; Jen, 2007; Kern, 2007, 2008). In particular, since 2007, when many banks needed to recapitalize because of the subprime financial crisis, the number of SWFs has continuously increased to reach 65 investment vehicles in December 2012, with total assets under management equal to more than $5 trillion (Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, 2013).
