With the fall of oil prices (-25% since June), the sovereign funds related to oil and gas (Gulf countries, Russia Norway) are obviously less money available for investment. Currently their stand remains intact. They have a combined total of 4,200 billion dollars to manage, and yet remain immune to the lack of liquidity. In the circumstances against an oil shock, they should show more caution and a more conservative investment strategy. A chance for sustainable investments.
