Course Overview
Models supporting sovereign funds and government investment fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. Growth built on poorly controlled government investment reverses faster than it accumulated. Moving the financial and banking practice discipline from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of sovereign funds and government investment to standardise and which to leave flexible. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the wider financial and banking practice agenda is examined from more than one functional angle. It establishes a shared vocabulary for government investment so that teams can disagree productively about it. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of sovereign funds and government investment rather than to abstract argument. Comparative studies of government investment across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of financial and banking practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
