Sovereign Wealth Funds => Stocks Weaken Faster
There's further evidence today why SWFs (sovereign wealth funds) aren't exactly seen as smart money:
Using an event study parameter approach, we find the short-run market reaction to be statistically insignificant in 11 out of 12 announcements of SWF investments; but in the long-run SWF-targets underperform both the S&P500 and the Dow Jones Financial Services Index Fund.

Feel free to come up with your own re-translation of SWF, but I'm using Stocks Weaken Faster for now.
