Ron Paul at Sovereign Wealth Funds Hearing http://www.house.gov/paul http://www.CampaignForLiberty.com This is Congressman Ron Paul's opening statement at the Financial Services Hearing on Sovereign Wealth Funds, September 10, 2008. The text can be found here: http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2008/cr091008h.htm Mr. Chairman, once again we confront the issue of sovereign wealth funds, an issue which has become quite important due to the large amount of dollars and dollar-denominated bonds held by foreign governments, and the fears of these governments given the dollar's precipitous decline over the past few years. The past few days have been quite interesting, with speculation that one of the reasons for the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was the more than $1 trillion in Fannie and Freddie debt held by foreign governments. The threat of default on this debt would have undoubtedly had massive repercussions on the value of the dollar and might have unleashed the nuclear threat of a massive international sell-off of government and agency debt. The United States government now finds itself between a rock and a hard place. The massive amounts of debt that we have allowed to accumulate are hanging over us like Damocles' sword. Foreign governments such as Russia and China hold large amounts of government and agency bonds, and there are fears that as our creditors they will exert leverage over us. At the same time, as the dollar weakens, the desire to sell bonds and purchase better performing assets increases, leading to fears from others that foreign governments will attempt to purchase American national champion companies, or invest in strategic industries to gain sensitive technologies. In either case, most politicians overlook the fact that we are in this situation because of our loose monetary and fiscal policy. Actions that would stifle the operations of foreign sovereign wealth funds would likely result in corresponding retaliatory actions by foreign countries against American pension funds and could have the same detrimental effects on the economy as the trade wars begun after passage of the Smoot-Hawley tariff. Rather than limiting or prohibiting investment by sovereign wealth funds, we should be concerned with striking at the root of the problem and addressing inflationary monetary and fiscal policy. Debtors cannot continue building debts forever, and we now face strong indications that our creditors are eager to begin collecting what is owed them. It is not too late to correct our mistakes, but we must act now and cannot dally. We must drastically reduce government spending, end wasteful and disastrous interventions into financial markets, and rein in the Federal Reserve's inflationary monetary policy. Failing to do so will ensure a descent into financial catastrophe.

Corporate Advisory Insight: Sovereign Wealth Funds Glenn Curtis from Thomson Financial's Corporate Advisory Services group discusses Sovereign Wealth Funds. Transcript: Good afternoon. My name is Glenn Curtis. I am a Director in Thomson Financials Strategic Research group. Our topic today is Sovereign Wealth Funds. Sovereign Wealth Funds, or SWFs, are foreign government investment vehicles. Many of these funds are flush with petrodollars, and have made headlines recently because of their cash hordes. They are now beginning to diversify out of low yielding bonds and into other assets for greater returns. _____________________________________________________________________ Over the last few years, SWFs have received increased scrutiny as their size and scope has grown. Their collective assets under management are now estimated at 2.5 trillion dollars. There are around 25 nations that either operate SWFs or are in the process of creating them. The largest SWFs include the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Norway's' Government Pension Fund, Singapore's GIC, the Kuwait Investment Authority, and the China Investment Corporation. Now SWFs are passive and anonymous investors, and they tend to be very long-term holders. However, the sheer number and size of recent SWF investments has created some controversy. The continuing fallout from the U.S. sub prime mortgage market has left many leading European and U.S. banks turning to SWFs for much needed capital infusions in order to support their faltering balance sheets. The SWFs have thus far been willing and able to invest for several reasons. First, they have been attracted to the discount prices at which these companies are trading. Second, some argue that they may have been compelled to intervene as a lack of action could have resulted in a detrimental effect on the global economy and, in turn, on their own investments. I should also point out that banks have found it easier to raise money from the SWFs, because they remain liquid -- and because the capital markets, particularly in the U.S., have been so weak. _____________________________________________________________ Earlier this year, Citigroup announced that the Government of Singapore and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal had acquired a $14.5 billion stake in the company. This followed Citigroup's announcement last year that Abu Dhabi Investment Authority had acquired a stake. UBS, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Barclays also have reported notable investments from SWFs. ______________________________________________________________ The American public has been concerned by these investments, and has raised issues of transparency, corporate governance and the fear of foreign government influence on domestic corporate strategy. Many of these criticisms are similar to those made about hedge funds a few years ago. However, it is important to note that SWF's profits generally support governments and entire economies, rather than a few wealthy individuals. In addition, SWFs are again generally long term strategic investors while hedge funds have tended to concentrate on a shorter time frame of investment. _____________________________________________________________________- With regards to resolving transparency and corporate governance issues, Norway's SWF is considered by many as the benchmark model in this field, with arms length management from government, disclosure of investment portfolios and returns on an annual basis as well as regular audits from external regulators. _______________________________________________________________________ Looking ahead, there have been calls for a global code of conduct for SWFs but attempts by the IMF in generating a consensus among key players have so far failed. That said, Australia, the EU, and the U.S. are actively developing their own set of rules, which could some argue, force SWFs to invest elsewhere. Incidentally, China has hit back, viewing increased scrutiny as a prelude to a new era of protectionism. For corporate audiences, the key takeaway is to be aware of this new breed of investor and to be familiar with all the key facts in the hope that cooler and wiser heads will prevail. For further coverage on this issue, please check out TF contributions in the FT, The Washington Post and IR Magazine. The Davos talk on SWFs is also available on the You Tube World Economic Forum playlist. And finally I would refer you to Strategic Research's Simon Tse and his report on the subject. For those wishing to view an executive summary of Simon's report or executive summaries of other reports that Strategic Research has disseminated please go to the Corporate Services Center at www.thomson.com/financial/CorporateResources Again, my name is Glenn Curtis with the Strategic Research Group. Thank you. Tags: Thomson Financial Corporate Advisory Services Strategic Research Investor Relations Glenn Curtis Sovereign Wealth Funds |

DN! MCCAIN FUNDS PLO TERRORIST McCain Faults Obama for Ties to Professor He Once Funded On the Republican side, Senator McCain has revived an old attack on Obama by bringing up his alleged ties to Palestinian American professor Rashid Khalidi. The so-called Khalidi âcontroversyâ also comes as a surprise in light of McCainâs own previous ties to Khalidiâs work on behalf of Palestinian rights. During the 1990s, McCain chaired the International Republican Institute when it gave several grants to Khalidiâs Center for Palestine Research and Studies.
