Mubasher: Data released by eVestment Research showed that sovereign wealth funds around the world liquidated assets worth $16.2 billion in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $10.1 billion in Q1.
External inflows are linked to the sharp decline in the prices of basic commodities including oil, stated Peter Laurelli from eVestment Research.
The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute (SWFI) estimates that assets owned by funds worldwide amount to $3.2 trillion.
