The Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust (NPRT) was a sovereign wealth fund developed by the government of the Republic of Nauru in which the government invested money from the state-owned mining company,Nauru Phosphate Corporation. This money was then re-invested in a real estate portfolio,among other things,to provide the government with a reliable national income following the depletion of minable phosphates on the island. Although at one time successful,mismanagement and corruption later essentially bankrupted the fund,thus virtually bankrupting the entire Republic.
