Il ruolo dello Stato nell'economia si è sviluppato gradualmente dalla crisi finanziaria globale nel 2008. Per evitare che un'economia domestica colpisse e isolasse da fattori esterni, l’ha applicato diverse pratiche tra cui l'istituzione di fondi sovrani. I fondi possono avere diverse fonti di reddito, obiettivi e quindi le strategie di investimento possono variare gradualmente. Questo rapporto fornisce una panoramica dei fondi sovrani russo evolu-zione, i loro obiettivi e strategie di allocazione di portafoglio. Oggi, ci sono due fondi attivi in Russia – National Wealth Fund (NWF), che combina sia la stabilizzazione sia gli obiettivi di risparmio e Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), che funziona come catalizzatori per l’attrazione degli investimenti stranieri nell'economia russa. Nonostante l'efficacia e la gestione attiva di RDIF, ci sono molte preoccupazioni sull'allocazione delle risorse NWF e sulla strategia di gestione. Sulla base dell'analisi delle migliori pratiche internazionali dei fondi so-vrani, sono stati evidenziati tre driver principali che si applicano fondi di suc-cesso per aumentare la performance e offrire rendimenti elevati. Questi inclu-dono la gestione attiva, un portafoglio diversificato su scala mondiale e la tra-sparenza. Per il Russian NWF, le attività sottolineate sono essenziali per la creazione di un'organizzazione redditizia con una solida reputazione e la crea-zione di fiducia con le parti interessate a lungo termine.

Abstract
The State’s role within the economy has developed gradually since the global financial crisis in 2008. To keep a home economy from overhitting and isolate from external factors, it applied different practices including establish-ing sovereign wealth funds. (SWF). Funds can have different sources of in-come, objectives and therefore the investment strategies can vary gradually. This report provides an overview of Russian SWFs evolution, their ob-jectives and assets allocations strategy. Nowadays there are two active Funds in Russia – National Wealth Fund (NWF) that combines both stabilization and saving objectives and Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) which works as catalysts for the inflow of foreign investment into the Russian economy. De-spite the effectiveness and active management of RDIF, there are a lot of con-cerned about NWF asset allocation and management strategy. Based on the analysis of best international practices of SWFs, three main drivers were highlighted that successful Funds apply to boost performance and provide high returns. These include active management, a globally diversified portfolio, and transparency. For the Russian National Wealth Fund, the under-lined above activities are essential in establishing a profitable organization with a sound reputation and building trust with stakeholders over the long-term.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
