Governments with extra money laying around have become major players in the global financial markets through their sovereign wealth funds.
These are the gigantic state-owned funds that invest in stocks, bonds, and various other investments like private equity and hedge funds. And these investments are often international.
Barely a day goes by without a major multi-billion dollar fund from one petro-state or another making some splashy acquisition — just this past weekend, Bloomberg's Josiane Kremer reported Norway's sovereign wealth fund plans to sink its teeth into U.S. real estate.
Institutional Investor magazine recently published its annual list of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world.
Most of them are based out of the oil rich nations in the Middle East and the low debt countries in Asia. All of them have tons of money to throw around.
any good headhunters for these?
What experience do you need to get in such kind of funds? Are they looking for bankers (i.e. M&A, IBD) or do they prefer Asset Managers, or even anything else? Thanks!
It does raise the question why aren't they using these funds for infrastructure, education, medicine etc.....
Just got contacted by a headhunter representing one of the above funds. Granted I'm a citizen of the country so that might make it easier.
