Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF)

A Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) is a government-owned investment fund built from a nation's excess reserves. It serves to bolster the economy and benefit its citizens.

SWFs are typically funded through:

  • Profits from state-owned natural resources
  • Trade surpluses
  • Savings from national budget excesses
  • Revenues from privatizations
  • Foreign currency transactions
  • Government transfers

While SWFs aim to serve national economic interests, some operate similarly to private sector venture capital, investing to yield returns for the country's future.
