  • The Treasury and Commerce Departments are drafting a plan detailing how a federal sovereign wealth fund might be structured, funded, and managed.

The article by James Broughel for Forbes outlines nine guiding principles for establishing a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). These principles include: 1) Clear Objectives - defining the fund's goals, whether for economic stabilization, saving for future generations, or infrastructure investment. 2) Transparency - ensuring all operations are open to public scrutiny to maintain trust and accountability. 3) Professional Management - employing experienced investment professionals to manage the fund. 4) Diversification - spreading investments across various assets to mitigate risk. 5) Long-term Investment Horizon - focusing on long-term gains rather than short-term profits. 6) Avoidance of Political Influence - insulating the fund from political pressures to ensure investment decisions are based on economic merit. 7) Sustainability - considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment choices. 8) Performance Benchmarking - setting clear benchmarks to measure the fund's performance. 9) Legal Framework - establishing a robust legal structure to govern the fund's operations, ensuring it operates within the law and for the benefit of the public. The article emphasizes the importance of these principles to ensure the SWF operates effectively and ethically, contributing positively to the U.S. economy.
