In recent years, the role of sovereign wealth funds in international financial markets has been drawing the attention of both public opinion and academic research. This work aims at exploring the role of distance as a determinant of SWFs impact on target firms’ performance. Firstly, the work provides an introductory review of the literature on SWFs as investors, including descriptions of the concept, history, typology, investment strategies and concerns raised by their activities. Secondly, a review of existing research on the impact of SWFs’ investment on performance is provided, complemented by a chapter about what research has said about distance as a driver of performance in cross-border investment. Finally, the reviewed topics are brought together in a descriptive and exploratory data analysis that disentangles the dimensions of distance as moderators of SWFs impact on performance.
Negli ultimi anni, il ruolo dei fondi sovrani nei mercati finanziari internazionali ha attirato l'attenzione dell'opinione pubblica e della ricerca accademica. Questo lavoro ha lo scopo di esplorare il ruolo della distanza come determinante dell'impatto dei SWF sulle prestazioni delle imprese target. In primo luogo, il lavoro fornisce una revisione introduttiva della letteratura sui SWF come investitori, comprese le descrizioni del concetto, della storia, della tipologia, delle strategie di investimento e delle preoccupazioni sollevate dalle loro attività. In secondo luogo, viene fornita una revisione della ricerca esistente sull'impatto degli investimenti dei SWF sulla performance, integrata da un capitolo su ciò che la ricerca ha detto sulla distanza come fattore determinante della performance negli investimenti transfrontalieri. Finalmente, gli argomenti esaminati vengono riuniti in un'analisi descrittiva ed esplorativa dei dati che districa le dimensioni della distanza in quanto i moderatori degli effetti dai SWF sulle prestazioni.

Abstract
In recent years, the role of sovereign wealth funds in international financial markets has been drawing the attention of both public opinion and academic research. This work aims at exploring the role of distance as a determinant of SWFs impact on target firms’ performance. Firstly, the work provides an introductory review of the literature on SWFs as investors, including descriptions of the concept, history, typology, investment strategies and concerns raised by their activities. Secondly, a review of existing research on the impact of SWFs’ investment on performance is provided, complemented by a chapter about what research has said about distance as a driver of performance in cross-border investment. Finally, the reviewed topics are brought together in a descriptive and exploratory data analysis that disentangles the dimensions of distance as moderators of SWFs impact on performance.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
