Investment Objectives of Sovereign Wealth Funds : A Shifting Paradigm / Iva Petrova, Jukka Pihlman, Peter Kunzel, Yinqiu Lu.

Even so, this paper shows that the global crisis may have changed SWF's asset allocations in ways that may not be ideal or justified in all cases and that a review of investment objectives may be warranted. It also argues for regular macro-risk assessments for the sovereign, the continued importance of SWFs as a stabilizer in international capital markets, as well as the active role they could play in international regulatory reform.
