Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are one of the less well-known types of institutional clients. They are mainly in commodity rich states, such as Abu Dhabi Investment Authority or Norway's Government Pension Fund or may be located in various countries - predominantly in Asia, such as the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation or Temasek Holdings. There is a recent article at Zawya.com that can be accessed here. It states that SWFs are increasing their holdings in hedge funds and other alternative assets as well as corporations. An example of the latter is China Investment Corporation's investment in Morgan Stanley.
I was alerted to this news article by Albourne Village, a site for alternative investing. Other good websites that I subscribe to are FINalternatives, Hedgeworld News and HedgeFundBlogger.com. They are all free and deliver news to your email.
