IFSWF CEO Duncan Bonfield said sovereign wealth funds are looking for investment opportunities in sectors that performed strongly during the pandemic.
Sovereign wealth funds and other institutional investors are gradually adding risk assets back into portfolios as the COVID-19 pandemic lingers, with investors deploying some accumulated cash and reducing fixed-income positions.
A report by the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds and State Street found that institutional risk sentiment across asset classes also broadly improved in the period to March, particularly for foreign-exchange, commodity-sensitive assets and equity reallocations.
Institutional investors add risk; outlook more positive for 2021: research

LONDON (Reuters) - A rotation by sovereign wealth funds and other institutional investors to add risk since the COVID-19 pandemic, moving from cash and bonds to stocks, may have further to run as many still have large cash positions, according to research published Thursday.
Investors had a more positive outlook for 2021, having reached a risk-neutral level across asset classes after starting last year with the highest cash levels since the 2009 financial crisis, the research from State Street Corporation and the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF) found.

State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) and the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF), a global network of sovereign wealth funds from nearly 40 countries, today released new research
[1] on how sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors performed in their allocation throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Drawing on State Street’s extensive dataset of unique indicators[2], and interviews with seven of IFSWF’s largest members, the research reveals that many sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors have gradually deployed some of their accumulated cash and reduced fixed income positions to add exposure to risk assets, while financial markets rebounded during the pandemic. Institutional risk sentiment across asset classes has also broadly improved during the period up to March 2021, particularly for foreign exchange, commodity-sensitive assets and equity reallocation decisions.
