With an international credit crunch hamstringing many Western entrepreneurs, a new wave of investment is flooding the U.K., largely from the Middle East and Asia. This program focuses on sovereign wealth funds and their role in what many see as a financial takeover of Britain’s economy—including some of its most cherished icons and institutions. Beginning with a surprising case study—the purchase of the Liverpool football club by the Dubai International Capital Fund—the film provides several other examples, including major stock acquisitions in HSBC, Britain’s largest bank, and the London Stock Exchange. Funds based in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and other countries are examined.
