- The requirements of sovereign wealth investors - what are they looking for, what is important to them, what diligence elements do they focus on, their requirements of asset managers when negotiating fund investment terms and some discussion of the tax issues that come up specific to the context of sovereign asset managers; and
- The growing role of ESG in evaluation of investment opportunities, the associated commitments provided by many of the Middle East's sovereign wealth funds and what that means for the asset managers they choose.
