Sovereign Wealth Funds
Sovereign wealth funds are huge government-run investment funds. The money often comes from commodities, like oil. Peter Day asks whether the funds are any cause for concern.
Government owned Sovereign wealth funds are treasure troves of money earned by oil resources and mighty export earnings, vast nest-eggs for the future when overseas earnings dry up. Obscure though they may be, SWFs have extraordinary flows of cash to invest and potentially enormous international clout. This programme investigates SWFs: who they are and what they're doing.
