Sovereign Wealth Funds As Sustainability Instruments? Disclosure of Sustainability Criteria in Worldwide Comparison
sustainability Article Sovereign Wealth Funds as Sustainability Instruments? Disclosure of Sustainability Criteria in Worldwide Comparison Stefan Wurster * and Steffen Johannes Schlosser TUM School of Governance, Technical University Munich, 80333 Munich, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are state-owned investment vehicles intended to pursue national objectives. Their nature as long-term investors combined with their political mandate could make SWFs an instrument suited to promote sustainability. As an essential precondition, it is important for SWFs to commit to sustainability criteria as part of an overarching strategy. In the article, we present the sustainability disclosure index (SDI), an original new dataset for a selection of over 50 SWFs to investigate whether SWFs disclose sustainability criteria covering environmental, social, economic, and governance aspects into their mandate. In addition to an empirical measurement of the disclosure rate, we conduct multiple regressions to analyze what factors help to explain the variance between SWFs. We see that a majority of SWFs disclose at least some of the sustainability criteria. However, until today, only a small minority address a broad selection as a possible basis for a comprehensive sustainability strategy. While a high-state capacity and a young population in a country as well as a commitment to the international Santiago Principles are positively associated with a higher disclosure rate, we ﬁnd no evidence for strong effects of the economic development level, the resource abundance, and the degree of democratization of a country or of the speciﬁc size and structure of a fund. Identifying favorable conditions for a higher commitment of SWFs could Citation: Wurster, S.; Schlosser, S.J.

Capitalizing Economic Development Through Sovereign Investment: a “Paradox of Scarcity”?*
Capitalizing Economic Development Through Sovereign Investment: A “Paradox of Scarcity”?* Working Paper Patrick J. Schena Juergen Braunstein Asim Ali This draft: April 28, 2017 Abstract Traditionally the creation of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) was “supply-driven”, the result of excess reserves from natural resources (e.g. Norway, Qatar, Kuwait, etc.) or non-commodity capital flows (e.g. South Korea, China, Singapore, etc.). More recently we observe many newly established or announced funds to be “demand-driven”, motivated by domestic development objectives (including infrastructure development). This transition from supply-driven to demand-driven SWF creation is most starkly manifested in SWF capitalization. This paper outlines recent developments on SWF creation – especially by countries that are neither endowed with oil wealth nor possess sizeable export surpluses to create SWFs with a development mandate. While contextualizing this study in the broader SWF literature, the aim is to provide a comprehensive overview on how funding sources impact achieving long-term financial and socio-economic development objectives. Keywords: sovereign wealth, private equity; direct investment; co-investment. JEL classification: We thank Arianne Caoili for her feedback. All errors and omissions are our own.

Introduction Over 25 years ago, Robert Lucas asked a simple, but profound question: “Why doesn’t capital flow from rich to poor countries?” (Lucas, 1990) Deemed the “paradox of capital”, this question remains with us and its relevance over periods has become more pronounced.
