Global Universities Program/Global Business Webinars

In recent years, the prominence of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) and their activity in the financial markets has increased significantly.  SWFs are state-owned enterprises with much of their assets invested overseas in foreign countries. Currently over 20 countries have these funds and their investments dramatically impact our markets.

With over US$ 3 trillion of assets under management currently, a likely trajectory of $10 trillion could reach our markets by 2012.  Deloitte subject matter experts will cover the following Sovereign Wealth Fund related topics:

•       What are they?  Where are they?
•       How do they influence your lives?
•       With over $3 trillion to invest – where do they put their money?
•       Money talks, but do we want SWF money?
•       Corporate & social responsibilities
•       Are SWFs friends of Western economies?
•       Portrait of a SWF
•       A look into SWFs future

Following a short presentation, participants will be invited to ask questions or share comments.

Time:   12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EST
