Sovereign wealth funds - what China will do next?
Sovereign wealth funds hold several trillion dollars. What will they do? Most was in long term Federal Bonds. Expect sovereign wealth fund managers to diversify into banking, technology, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, mining and oil industry as well as real estate if prices fall further. Selling dollars on large scale is unlikely since it would lower dollar value and value of their remaining dollar investments.

London Stock Exchange in yet more discussions about mergers
Almost every week there is another news story about possible consolidation of various national stock exchanges around the world. This is long overdue. Globalisation and the digital economy are making traditional stock exchanges look very out of date.
See Bloomsberg news story below and the comments I made serveral years ago, about likely megers in Europe of national Stock Exchanges.

Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) London Stock Exchange Plc's biggest shareholder said it won't accept the 1.5 billion-pound takeover bid by a group led by Macquarie Ltd - Australia's largest investment bank.
Sydney-based Macquarie and other investors including Macquarie Capital Alliance Group and Finpro SGPS SA offered 580 pence a share in cash for LSE, below the closing share price of 622 pence a share on Dec. 14.

Future of Fund Mangement and Related Issues - Dr Patrick Dixon for ICBI 2005
Future of Fund Mangement and Related Issues - Dr Patrick Dixon for ICBI 2005
Interesting how few fund managers believe their actively managed retail equity funds are worth investing in.
Most of the fund managers at the ICBI conference had little confidence in their own funds - according to the straw poll in my own plenary.
Best value: tracker funds

Future of Fund Mangement and Related Issues - Dr Patrick Dixon for ICBI 2005
Here is a strange thing. In my experience it is rare to find fund managers who are confident they can outperform tracker funds, or who actually have a significant proportion of their own wealth tied up in their own actively managed retail equity funds, or who would recommend such retail investment products to their own family or friends.
Quite the opposite, as a straw poll identified during my keynote for ICBI. Most fund managers seem to think that their products offer poor value for money - with charges of maybe more than 2% each year on gains of maybe 4% in a good year and less than 1% in bad.
A misselling scandal waiting to happen?
