The book covers a wide range of topics of relevance to policymakers in countries that have sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), and those that receive SWF investments, organized around four themes: (1) the role and macrofinancial linkages of SWFs, (2) institutional factors, (3) investment approaches and financial markets, and (4) the post-crisis outlook. It also discusses the challenges facing sovereign wealth funds in the coming years, from an inside perspective on countries, including Canada, Chile, China, Norway, Russia, and New Zealand.--Publisher's description.
