An American Sovereign Wealth Fund? Easier Said Than Done.

Published On Sep 10, 2024, 1:19 PM

Former President Donald Trump and the Biden administration are both exploring the possibility of creating a U.S. sovereign wealth fund (SWF). Trump argues that such a fund could generate significant profits to help pay down the national debt, while the Biden administration's envisioned SWF would focus on key areas like supply chain resilience and energy security. However, establishing a SWF in the U.S. would require Congressional approval and faces skepticism regarding its funding and effectiveness due to the ongoing national budget deficits.

The mixed signals regarding the establishment of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund may indicate increased government interest in national investment strategies. If implemented, it could lead to increased funding in technology and energy sectors, benefitting companies within those industries.

However, the skepticism in Congress about the SWF's feasibility could lead to delays or outright failure in creating the fund, impacting market confidence and government investments in prioritized sectors.
