“The global total of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) could reach $12 trillion by 2015 as a result of further oil revenues and capital appreciation. Such revenues have generated enormous liquidity for the Middle East SWFs and created unprecedented opportunities for large-scale overseas investments. As a result, approximately twenty-five largely opaque SWFs manage $2.3 trillion, an amount larger than the entire hedge fund industry”
Nimrod Raphaeli and Bianca Gersten
