U.S. Immigration Policy under Trump Deep Changes and Lasting Impacts

July 5, 2018

From his earliest days in office, President Donald Trump signaled his intention to make taking a tough stance on immigration the rallying cry of his campaign a focus of his administration. Within five days, he issued a series of executive orders promising major changes to the U.S. immigration system, ranging from sharp cuts to legal immigration and the building of "the wall" across the entire U.S.-Mexico border, to "extreme" vetting of all applicants for admission. A year and a half on, this momentum continues at full force.

How Do Sovereign Wealth Funds Invest? With Strategic Diversification

whitePaper | April 30, 2022

Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) remain a prominent and diverse group of global asset owners. They represent unencumbered fiscal resources of the host governments, invested under a range of different mandates. In this study, we considered 34 of the largest SWFs, located in 26 different jurisdictions, which as of year-end 2020, have total assets of almost $8.5 trillion, representing 5% of total global markets.2 Between 2018 and 2020, total SWF assets under management (AUM) grew by an annualized 11.3%, as compared to 5.5% over the previous time period (Figure 1). We find that the acceleration in AUM growth is largely a function of market gains due to the post-2018 drawdown in equities. However, we estimate that organic inflows into global SWF holdings are roughly in line with the mid-single digits during the 2014–2018 time period.
