Abstract

This paper focuses on examining the role of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) in terms of their purposes, objectives, funding, organization and investing process. Therefore, this paper analyzes if countries set up SWF with debt, and if their assets under management will grow in the future. First of all, we clarify new topic, SWFs, by latest research. Secondly, we analyze how SWFs are funded and thirdly, how their investments may contribute to the development of the country.
