SOUTHERN STAR

摘要

When adrian orr left new zealand's central bank in February 2007 to run the country's fledgling sovereign wealth fund, he knew he was taking a calculated risk. An economist by training, Orr had never led an asset management team or overseen a diversified investment portfolio. As deputy governor and head of financial stability at the Wellington-based Reserve Bank of New Zealand, he'd been closely involved in managing reserves, assessing macroeconomic risk and participating in policy discussions-and he liked the idea of using his skills to help build a lasting institution for New Zealand. But he had no inkling of the size of the challenge he was about to face.
