Hello, Tokyo. Have I got some news for you!

  • The UN is calling on SWFs to invest Africa. And I’m calling on the UN to actually help facilitate said SWF investment in Africa. You know, like these guys.
  • Apropos, Norway’s SWF is in fact looking to put more money to work in Africa.
  • The QIA has “much more” than $100 billion.
  • The Alaska Permanent Fund returned 6.9% for its third quarter. Nice work.
  • Shock: State politicians finally starting to see the cost savings associated with in-sourcing asset management. Basic math skills are apparently improving.
