Geopolitics and election-driven uncertainty is the biggest worry for sovereign wealth managers, according to a survey from investment firm Invesco, published Monday. Over 80% of managers cite geopolitical tensions as the largest short-term risk, and fragmentation and protectionism as the largest long-term risk, according to the firm’s Global Sovereign Asset Management report, which surveyed central banks and sovereign wealth funds overseeing about $22 trillion in assets.
Last year, inflation was top of mind for central bankers and sovereign wealth fund managers, with over 80% citing increasing prices as their largest short-term concern.
