Middle East sovereign funds increasing allocation to home markets | GulfNews.com

Middle East sovereign funds increasing allocation to home markets | GulfNews.com:



"Middle East sovereign investors who account for $1.4 trillion of assets managed globally are allocating significantly high portion of their assets to home markets, but increasingly these funds are expanding their allocation to emerging markets and alternate asset classes according Invesco Asset Management.



The findings are from the Invesco Asset Management Study. The Middle East study, the fifth annual survey of its kind, was based on 52 interviews with employees at sovereign wealth funds.



Home market allocations by Middle East sovereign investors are about 42 per cent on average. Sovereign investors are broadly categorised into 4 categories based on their objectives such as investment, development, liquidity and liability. Overall the Middle East is weighted to development and investment sovereigns compared to the global average. However, in terms of assets, the Middle East is strongly weighted to investment sovereigns."
