For years, foreign governments complained about American hedge funds, arguing that their non-transparent behavior posed unacceptable risks to stability. Now, many US politicians are complaining about the transparency of sovereign wealth funds (big government investors mainly from Asia and the Middle East), which are taking shares in trophy American assets such as Citibank and Merrill Lynch.
多年来，外国政府抱怨美国的对冲基金，说它们不透明的行为对稳定造成不可接受的风险。现在，许多美国政界人物则在抱怨国家财富基金(也就是主要来自亚洲和中东的庞大的政府投资者)的透明度问题。这些基金正在花旗银行和美林公司等让美国骄傲的资产上入股。
