Abstract: Long-term investors, such as sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), Islamic finances and sovereign pension funds (SPF) are major players in socially responsible investing. This paper makes a comparative analysis of management practices of different funds during the current economic crisis. The analysis includes observations of the activities of sovereign funds of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), but also of older SWFs, such as the Norwegian and Kuwait Investment Authorities. The case study shows the different aspects of their performance in terms of the guidelines of sustainable development. These discussions must inform new macro and global economic policy.
