Transparency scores for Chile’s SWF

Ranked as the third best in the world, the country’s sovereign wealth fund has become a model for other Latin American countries to follow, including Colombia, Panama and Brazil.

Chile, which is relatively small, with a population of 17 million and a $282 billion economy, has three SWFs. As well as the $15 billion economic and social stabilization fund (ESSF), there is a $6.4 billion pension reserve fund (PRF) and a $4 billion education fund (EF).

The ESSF was 100% invested in overseas fixed-income assets, but recently shifted some into bank deposits as part of its strategy during the past two years to gradually adjust its asset allocation.
