Invesco's first dedicated survey of state investors reveals interesting trends in allocation, behaviour and challenges.

State Street Global Advisors expects to boost its $400 billion in sovereign assets under management, with Asia a key driver – despite a slowdown in the region's reserve growth.

Last month $2.56 billion in QFII quota was handed out, with almost half going to sovereign funds from Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. More RQFII quota was also awarded.

Global research head Suzanne Duncan says sovereign wealth funds and others are resorting to herd behaviour when confronted with the complexities of illiquid alternatives.

There is fear about a mooted 10% tax being applied retrospectively to gains made by QFII investors trading A-shares. Regulators are tipped to unveil answers in the next six months.
