IFSWF Conference

The $1.4 billion Fondo de Ahorro de Panamá is set to add a 15 per cent allocation to private equity and alternatives to eliminate some of the risk related to fixed income in its portfolio.

The new chair and deputy chair of IFSWF preached the importance of sovereign wealth funds forming partnerships to access elusive assets, gain new insights and invest sustainably.

The Santiago Principles have made a great impact on transparency and accountability for sovereign wealth funds but need a refresh to offer guidance amid increasing tension between global and local mandates and a tougher regulatory environment, a panel declared.

As the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds’ Santiago Principles turn 10, the executive director of the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan says threats to the free flow of capital loom.

A decade ago, the Santiago Principles were established, to shape governance of state-owned investors. Voluntary participation and flexibility have been the secret to the guidelines’ longevity.
