Here now, the news:
- Yelena Bakhmutova is the new CEO of Kazakhstan’s SWF Samruk-Kazyna. Here’s the official press release. And here’s a relatively recent CV.
- OTPP is apparently building out its London office; it’s just hired a new private equity specialist to take the helm.
- Interesting to see Malaysia's Khazanah Nasional investing in Turkey's healthcare sector: Just invested about $1 billion in ASYH.
- And check out this new amazing research paper entitled “Sovereign Wealth Funds: Form and Functions in the 21st Century”. It’s really a must read for everyone that’s ever heard the words sovereign, wealth or fund...whether they were said together or individually. (Full disclosure: I wrote it.)
- Just in case that last one is a bit too nerdy or obscure (yeah, that’s right, I dare you to read it), you should check out this new paper by Jason Mosley entitled “Peace, Bread and Land: Agricultural Investments in Ethiopia and the Sudans”.
