What is at stake ?
What is at stake ?The starting point comes for the government’s efforts to diversify their local economy (transition from Oil and Gas).
The governments decided an agressiv investment strategy with strict rules of engagement : “an expansive portfolio of highly diversified asset classes, in order to help diversify our nation’s economy and help local companies gain an international footprint, bringing international companies into our country through joint ventures, building up local skills and creating jobs. As the founders said from the beginning, these sovereign huge funds work for the future generations of their country. Therefore, they need to invest with caution (protecting the wealth) target good returns, and keep an absolute control over these numerous investments.
Their activities are wide and diversified covering a large range of asset classes, including quoted equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity and infrastructure, in almost all regions of the world and in almost all vertical sectors (excluding some specific verticals considered as non ethical and banned).
In terms on Information Technology, what are the consequences ?
When you have so many investments in so many diverse sectors, in so many countries and currencies, through so many GP… It is a true challenge to have a detailed vision of each and every dollar invested, while keeping an eye on the big international trends, in order to catch the best wave and stay away from the risks.
The diversity of the investments, direct and indirect generates huge amount of data, but not easy to compare, to analyze and to control. Sometimes too many information kill the information…
All these data they own are a unique opportunity for understanding the market.
