Editor?s Note: This post comes to us from Rolando Avendano and Javier Santiso, both from the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD).

Our paper, Are Sovereign Wealth Fund Investments Politically Biased? Comparing Mutual and Sovereign Funds [forthcoming in Sovereign Investment: Concerns and Policy Reactions. Karl P. Sauvant, Lisa Sachs, and Wouter P.F. Schmit Jongbloed, editors (New York: Oxford University Press, 2010)], belongs to a series of studies on Sovereign Wealth Funds and their role in the new financial architecture. The study is a background paper for the Global Development Outlook 2010.
