Figure 15 gLobAL swf Assets IN $ tN

As resource rich governments and rising economies continue to accumulate wealth, we will see new SWFs being setup (especially in SAAAME countries) and a further increase in AuM in existing funds. AuM in SWFs are estimated to reach $8.9 trillion globally within the next five years, (i.e. a 7% com- pound annual growth rate). 23 Deepening the understanding of the different types of SWFs as well as their diverse needs, objectives, cultures and risk appetites will help asset managers to secure these clients for the long term. Those asset managers who can demonstrate operational strength in risk management, compliance and reporting in addition to good investment performance will be more attractive to SWFs.
