Many overseas investors turned out to be dumb money (havin' schadenfreude with a big grin ...).
When the Kuwaiti government pulled the plug earlier this week on a $17.4 billion investment in a planned petrochemical project in conjunction with Dow Chemical, the news sent stocks south. Although the collapse of the deal itself was substantial, Kuwait's decision reflects a bigger shift.
Until recently, foreign governments would go to nearly any lengths to invest in Western ventures, often through sovereign wealth funds. Traditionally, SWFs parked capital in low-risk, low-return investments such as government bonds. But with the real estate and equities markets going gangbusters in recent years, many succumbed to the promise of easy, hand-over-fist returns. Of course, when the party broke up and the lights came back on, some of these funds were caught with lampshades on their heads.
The problem isn't just the losses. It's the way they're magnified by the broader economic climate. Also, these losses come at a time when these funds' home countries badly need the cash. Many SWFs, particularly those from the Gulf states, were counting on oil at $100-plus a barrel to cushion them through any market fluctuation. In addition, many invested in equities and real estate markets at home as well as abroad, so they're feeling twofold pain as their domestic economies suffer.
