Described in PwC’s first blog in this series, the world's Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are a hugely diverse group. For some, the primary goal is to drive domestic economic growth and development. For others, the aim is to protect and grow the nation's wealth.
But whatever their remit, SWFs share two fundamental features. The decisions they take can have far-reaching impacts, on local communities and global markets. And they’re all operating in a complex, fast-changing risk landscape – under intense public and regulatory scrutiny.
Now as economic and geopolitical tensions evolve and multiply, SWFs are having to adjust their investment strategies, recalibrating their risk profiles to achieve targeted returns. This brings with it a different view of governance, risk and controls. A top priority for all SWFs today? Understanding and balancing risk appetite across the risk spectrum – from investment risk and opportunity to other risk elements like operational and credit risk.
