Sovereign Wealth Funds

Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are state-owned investment funds that manage a country’s surplus revenues, often from natural resources like oil or gas. These funds invest in a variety of assets, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, aiming to generate returns for the country's future financial needs or economic stability. By diversifying investments, SWFs help protect against market fluctuations and can support social programs, infrastructure development, or stabilize national economies during downturns. They play a significant role in global finance, influencing markets and international investments.
