David Fuller writes today:

Sovereign wealth funds: the most important influence on markets that we will see over at least the next decade

He goes on to say:

Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), currently estimated at around US$2 trillion, will soon be more important than both hedge funds and private equity combined. Morgan Stanley estimates that the total will be approximately US$12 trillion in SWFs by 2015.
