Questão 506691

Consider the discussion on sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and foreign direct investment:

'Sovereign wealth funds have emerged as dominant institutional investors in global financial markets. Managed by state entities, these mega-funds seek long-term capital appreciation and macroeconomic stabilization. Nonetheless, their cross-border acquisitions in critical technological infrastructure, telecommunications, and defence industries frequently encounter stringent regulatory scrutiny via national security screening mechanisms, as recipient governments fear non-commercial strategic motives.'

Judge the following statements:

I. Host nations scrutinize SWF investments in critical sectors due to concerns over non-commercial, strategic state intentions.

II. SWFs are exclusively established to finance short-term retail speculative trading without state involvement.

III. Foreign direct investment from state-backed funds is universally exempt from national security screening.

Which statement(s) is/are CORRECT?
