Tomorrow at 2 pm I'll be hosting a discussion on some of the myths surrounding Sovereign Wealth Funds and the opportunities at hand for delegates.
Some initial discussions with the panellists have drawn a tentative view that the rise of vast state funds should be result in a net benefit; but there remains a fear that fund managers will only have a brief time in the spotlight before SWFs bring expertise back in house as quickly as they can.
Our reporter Claire Milhench took a look at this issue last month. You can read her piece here:

Another issue likely to figure in the debate on Tuesday will be potential conflicts of interest faced by those funds underpinned by soaring oil revenues. There was a timely piece yesterday in the Sunday Times which highlights one angle on this story; you can read it here:
