Source: The Global Context
14
When were SWFs created?
Philipp Hildebrand argues
that the French Caisse
des Dépots et
Consignations (founded
in 1816) was the first
SWF.
1816
In 2005, Andrew Rozanov
was the first to coin the
term “sovereign wealth
fund.”
1953
General consensus places
the Kuwait Investment
Authority (founded in
1953) as the first of the
more modern and active
kind of SWFs.
2005
15
Where do SWFs come from?
Europe is one of the major SWF investment destinations
16
Why are there SWFs?
• “Dutch disease”

SWFs can play the role of insulating the domestic economy from
large sources of wealth, which might otherwise cause a
distortion in the economy

around __________ (how many?) different SWFs.
A1: $7 trillion; 80

The Paradox of Plenty:
Norway vs. Venezuela

Two natural paradises…

“Blessed” by nature…

With very different outcomes

Key Indicators

Norway’s Resources
• Largest holder of crude oil and natural
gas reserves in Europe (U.S. EIA)
• 3rd largest oil-exporting nation in Europe
(Norway)
• World’s 3rd largest natural gas exporter
in 2014 (after Russia and Qatar) (BP)
• Supplies around 20% of Western
Europe’s gas needs (Norway)

26
Venezuela’s Resources
Source: OPEC
•
Contains some of the largest oil and natural
gas proven reserves in the world (U.S. EIA)
•
Owned 25% of OPEC proven oil resources in
2014 (OPEC)
•
3rd largest exporter of crude oil to the United
States in 2013 (U.S. EIA)
•
World’s 9th largest exporter and 12th largest
producer of petroleum and other liquids in

•
Venezuela’s oil revenues account for about
95% of export earnings. The oil and gas sector
is around 25% of GDP. (OPEC)
•
2nd largest natural gas reserves in the
Americas, behind the United States. Much of
the natural gas is used to bolster production in
its mature oil fields. (U.S. EIA)

The SWFs
Norway
Venezuela

Brainstorm: What are Europe’s
potential opportunities (related to SWF
investment) in each of these fields?
Note: the information on the following four slides comes from:
López, Diego. "The Major Role of Sovereign Investors in the Global Economy: A European
Perspective." In The Global Context: How Politics, Investment, and Institutions Impact European
Businesses, edited by Javier Solana and Angel Saz-Carranza, 86-109. Barcelona, Spain:
ESADEgeo, 2015.

Real Estate
• “Since the mid-70s, sovereign
investors have poured over $65
billion into the European
property markets”
• Largest investors:
–
–
–
–
ADIA
Qatar Investment Authority (QIA)
Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA)
Government of Singapore
Investment Corporation (CIC)
– SAFE
• Eyeing European secondary
cities
Opportunity for “European financial
institutions holding large portfolios of
non-core real estate assets and/or those
in need of liquidity”
31
Infrastructure
• Previously, foreign investors were banned from
acquiring European airports, ports, and highways
• The financial crisis changed it all
• Non-European sovereign entities now own (but do
not operate) some of the main European
structural assets, including:

Airports
Power & utilities conglomerates
Nuclear energy companies
Highway operators
Telecoms
“Opportunity for European governments, not only to raise money from the privatization of
established companies, but also from developing infrastructure project where the financial muscle of
sovereign investors and the operational expertise of their partners can add an even greater value”
32
Private Equities
• Generally associated with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), i.e., the
backbone of the European economy (European Commission)
– 99 out of every 100 non-financial businesses in Europe are SMEs
– 2 of every 3 employees are employed at SMEs
– 58 cents in every euro of value added are produced by SMEs
“The acquisitions of sovereign investors in
European healthcare…could be one of the
main industries of focus in the next few
years, in addition to the always-preferred
industrial products and consumer-related
European companies.”
33
Human Capital
• Thousands of skilled professionals—especially young graduates—have left
the continent since 2008
• “This brain drain may be a blessing in disguise for Europe if, as in the case of
China and Russia, it is reversed, luring executives back to their home
countries after having gained an invaluable experience investing in the global
markets.”
“The new focus of sovereign investors on
direct investments, alternative assets,
and new geographies can represent an
opportunity for European economies.”
