Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment in the Global Healthcare Industry -

Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) seek out investments that are resilient, conducive to their aims and objectives, and reasonably free from market volatility. The global healthcare industry is therefore an attractive market for SWF investment.

Sovereign Wealth Funds are state owned entities that are used as an investment vehicle by a state, and where the original investment funds are usually derived from state generated sources. SWFs in turn make investments into a variety of real and financial assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, private equity, and other trading arrangements. They invest both in their domestic markets and also increasingly on a global basis, and are important funding and investment sources alongside traditional investors.
