Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Future Fund, has lost more than $2 billion in the September quarter, as global share markets tumbled – despite reducing its equity exposure and moving more into defensive assets, such as cash.
Australia’s $77.63 billion Future Fund is lagging behind its long-term investment objectives, achieving a nominal annual return of 5.2 per cent over the past five years.
Chair of the A$75billion ($79bn) Australian Future Fund, and outgoing chair of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds, David Murray (pictured), believes sovereign wealth funds are at risk of discrimination if some key myths about their structure and investment intentions are not discussed.
