Abstract: The paper aims at discussing the idea of Sovereign Wealth Funds, the range of their activity, as well as its consequences for the global financial stability. The author shows that these funds invest in different sectors of the economy and their assets, according to the predictions, are still supposed to grow in the future. Therefore, the role of SWFs in the economy is and will be more and more important. If one additionally takes into consideration that they influence the financial stability both in a positive and in a negative way and that there are not unified standards on investment strategies, governance of these institutions as well as transparency issues, it raises the need to control them globally and to create suitable law regulations.
