Sovereign Wealth: The Edinburgh Dialogue 12 June 2012
The Edinburgh Dialogue will be held on 12 June at the University of Edinburgh Business School. The recent evolution of global capital markets has been dramatic and, as new capital flows emerge, the key question remains of the future role and scope of sovereign wealth and national reserve portfolios - both in terms of return on assets and foreign direct investment. Drawing a range of senior speakers from all sides of the equation, the Edinburgh Dialogue will focus on Strategies for National Reserve Portfolio Management.
