Abstract
This paper attempts to detect the objectives of different sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and to find clues to their investment strategies across different types of firms and their locations by utilizing available data on the individual transactions of different SWFs. We explore the extent to which and how the investment strategies embedded in SWF transactions by Middle East and North African (MENA) countries are related to their scores on the well-known Linaburg-Maduell (LM) index of SWF transparency and quality, the age and size of the assets owned by the fund, and the composition of their board members or other key officials in these funds.
