Controlling nearly $3 trillion in assets today, sovereign wealth funds may triple in size by 2012. What impact could their increasing activity in the U.S. have on financial services, real estate, M&A, and private equity? We'll discuss:

• Factors impacting recent activities, including the credit crunch, exchange rates, constrained private equity activity, economic growth in emerging markets, and asset valuations.
• Whether these funds will shift their approach from noncontrolling to controlling interests and political implications.
• Potential opportunities and obstacles for investors, including teaming on transactions and scrutiny by regulators and security observers.

Learn how these funds operate and how to harness their immense resources.
