An Investigation of Country- and Firm-Level Barriers to Australian Institutional Investments in Foreign Equity Markets

澳大利亚的投资资产池在世界上排名第四，是亚太地区最大的投资资产池，但澳大利亚在国际投资组合多元化方面在16个发达国家中排名第二。该项目将为澳大利亚基金确定全球增长/多元化机会，并评估其投资组合配置实践与国际同行的比较。调查结果将鼓励澳大利亚基金扩大对包括亚洲在内的全球股市的投资。这将提高投资业绩，并使澳大利亚的投资资产池成为仅次于美国的世界第二大投资资产池，从而增加我们的长期国家财富。

Australia's investment assets pool is ranked fourth in the world and is the largest in the Asia-Pacific region, yet Australia is ranked the second worst among 16 developed countries in internationally diversifying its investment portfolio. This project will identify global growth/diversification opportunities for Australian funds and assess their portfolio allocation practices against their international peers. The findings will encourage Australian funds to expand their investments in global equity markets, including Asia. This will enhance investment performance and make it possible to grow Australia's investment assets pool to the second largest in the world after the US, thereby increasing our long-term national wealth.
