Sovereign wealth funds are becoming increasingly active in major international investment deals in the infrastructure, technology, real estate, construction, mining and other sectors.
Their investment strategies are aligned with their countries' political agendas, yet also pursue purely economic goals of financial returns and profitable exits.
Their normal deal sizes start from 100 mln USD with no upper limit. Some of them co-invest with the world's largest institutional investors in a specific sector with a goal of getting exposure to technologies that they can further use for the development of their home countries' economies.
Evoke Capital has developed connections in a number of sovereign wealth funds while negotiating deals for its past clients and has insights on these funds' current strategies and ongoing priorities.
