5 ASSET CLASS FORECAST been decent; however, this has been the reason why sovereign wealth funds are looking more towards inflation-hedged and predictable cash flow types of investments. Sovereign investors understand that less liquid asset classes can provide a source of returns uncorrelated to public equities. This is why sovereign funds have been actively been analyzing infrastructure deals globally. The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Kuwait Investment Authority are bullish in British infrastructure as well as the China Investment Corporation and other mega asset public investors. Sovereign wealth funds engaged in infrastructure markets have been attracted to regulated utilities. The Alberta Investment Management Investment Corporation (AIMCo) is a major investor in infrastructure and recently invested in a Chilean utility firm. The China Investment Corporation and the Qatar Investment Authority have been intrigued by regulated utilities as well. Both the China Investment Corporation and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority took stakes in Kemble Water Limited, which is the holding company for Thames Water. Brazil and India have received major flows of cash to fund various infrastructure projects.

It beats low-yield treasuries, especially when combined with having backing from the government at hand. Energy pipeline infrastructure is also a growing subsector as well, in which the Asian, Middle Eastern, and American SWFs have been investing into. Another kicker for sovereign funds in investing in direct infrastructure is if governments are interested in co-investing or supporting the purchase. Bottom line, it lowers political risk. In addition, countries that need infrastructure need to be investor friendly. There needs to be clear rules on concessions and payouts. Timberland This is an asset class that is growing among public investors. Sovereign investors like the New Zealand Superannuation Fund and Canada s Alberta Heritage Fund are investors in timberland investments. The role of timberland investments is to provide diversification and generate attractive returns through a combination of cash distributions and long-term asset appreciation and inflation protection. The sale of harvested timber produces cash yields. This depends on the maturity of the forestland and timber prices. Public investors understand that there are short-term risks associated with timber investments such as low-economic growth. These risks do not affect the long-run assumption that natural resources are limited in nature.

Commodities Gold Timberland Agriculture TIPS Country: New Zealand Assets: US$ 15.9 Billion The New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZSF) seeks to invest prudently and commercially. The fund invests both overseas and domestic. The fund is a leader in unique alternatives like farmland and timber investments. The NZSF utilizes a reference portfolio. It is low-cost, passive portfolios that can help the fund achieve its objectives. The reference portfolio is representative of the investable market; it is the appropriate risk profile for the fund. The NZSF also has an active portfolio for valueadd purposes and that lead them to invest in illiquid assets such as infrastructure, private equity, timberland, and farmland. NZSF is also keen on investing in attractive sectors and hiring skilled investment managers. There are some mandates where the NZSF will hire external managers. Managers are chosen specifically if they can generate excess returns over a benchmark. The NZSF is seeking to collaborate more with co-investors on large-scale investments. The fund is also utilizing risk budget allocation processes. Asset allocation is vital to the NZSF. The Guardians determine the appropriate strategic asset allocation and frequently reassess on a regular basis. With regards to their allocation, they take a long term view on the economy; short term liquidity is not too large of a concern. No asset class is left untouched by the NZSF. Fixed Income and Public Equities The fixed income allocation allows the NZSF to invest in bonds, deposits, and debentures. Some of the fixed income allocation is managed externally. The NZSF invests in shares globally including shares on the New Zealand or Australian stock exchanges. The NZSF invests in hedge funds utilizing a number of strategies. The fund also mandates 2012 Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute 2012 SOVEREIGN WEALTH ASSET ALLOCATION 113
