Chinese Funds
China benefits from a massive export economy that collects large holdings of foreign currency that need to be invested. Export-funded sovereign wealth funds occur in several countries, but the best example may be in China, where there are five sovereign wealth funds. Combined, these funds invest trillions of dollars. China's central bank manages the rest of the government's funds to regulate its currency. State-run corporations and banks invest in these wealth funds as well.
