Letter to the i: Sovereign Wealth Fund Letter

With Theresa May dolling out money to the DUP and Corbyn dolling out money to pretty much everyone it looks like a "money tree" is much in demand.  The closest this country can get to having one is to form a Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF).  SWF's are private investment portfolios run by governments that invest their proceeds into long term public spending commitments.  Countries as diverse as Qatar, Canada and Norway have SWF's.  Norway invests it's oil money into it's own SWF, so there is a possibility that we could invest shale gas money into our own.
