by Eliot Kalter, Patrick Schena

In June Sovereign Wealth Fund Initiative (SWFI) co-heads Eliot Kalter and Patrick Schena had the occasion to hold an extended conversation with Mr. Ewart Williams, outgoing Governor of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago and Head of the country’s Heritage and Stabilization Fund (HSF).

In this lively and candid interview, Governor Williams graciously shared his experiences on the foundation of the HSF, its constitution, and operating model.

His comments are insightful in furthering a deeper understanding of the structural and organizational challenges of new sovereign wealth funds during their formative years.
