Sumario: | Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are institutional investors in the hands of the States that have experienced substantial growth in recent years. This article primarily presents the SWFs as stabilization funds, as savings funds for intergenerational equity and as instruments within the framework of development strategies, especially in commodities dependent countries.
