Weekend Giant Reading: May 29 — 31, 2015

It’s been a few weeks since my last weekend reading installment. Here’s what you’ve missed during that time:

- Green: Norway’s SWF may be asked by the government to sell its investments in producers and consumers of coal.

- First Mover:Oman’s sovereign fund already has its investment boots firmly planted in Iran.

- Ghost Ship: Nobody’s running the Libyan Investment Authority!

- New SWFs: And the latest country to unveil plans for a new SWF is ... The Bahamas! (Note to the Bahamian government: I am available to come to Nassau.)

- Keeping it Real: Big sovereign funds are increasingly focused on property and infrastructure.

- Strategic Ambitions:China is launching a $5 billion fund, which will be subsidiary to the China Investment Corporation, to help “export the country’s advanced industrial capacity.”

- Collaboration: CalPERS and QIC have struck a $1 billion deal to collaborate on Australian infrastructure deals.

- Say What? Apparently asset managers can now sue pension funds for breach of stuff they said in conversations ... and win.

- Sabotage: If true, this story is completely nuts: Kuwait Investment Office employees apparently made “huge, deliberate, bad investments.”

- Selfie: The less you do ... the more you do.

Have a great weekend!
