International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds

The International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IWG-SWF) is a global organization that provides guidelines and best practices for sovereign wealth funds—state-owned investment funds that manage a country's surplus revenue, often from natural resources or foreign exchange reserves. Its goal is to promote transparency, responsible investment, and stability in the management of these funds. By establishing these standards, IWG-SWF helps ensure that sovereign wealth funds operate effectively, maintain trust with stakeholders, and contribute positively to economic development without causing market disruptions.
