#SaudiArabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is often caricatured as Saudi's "everything, everywhere, all at once" sovereign wealth fund Current assets under management are cUS$900bn, ie 80% of GDP, 2x central bank FX reserves, US$48k per citizen High profile international investment but PIF is 30% Aramco, 50% other Saudi (eg "Giga" projects) In its 2023 annual report, PIF discloses an annualised total portfolio return of 8.7%, between the the October 2017 start of the "Vision [2030] Realization Program" and the end of 2023. For comparison, Norway's NBIM generated an annualised return of 6.1% from the start of 2018 to the end of 2023. This is a favourable comparison, given the mandate of PIF is national development (public goods and job creation), as opposed to narrowly-defined investor returns.

Saudi Arabia's Bold Move: A Strategic Shift in Economic Fortunes! 🚀 In a groundbreaking move, Saudi Arabia has transferred an 8% stake in oil behemoth aramco to the Public Investment Fund (PIF), solidifying its commitment to diversifying the economy away from oil dependency. The stake, valued at approximately $163.6 billion, marks a pivotal moment in the kingdom's ambitious Vision 2030 program. The transfer, doubling Public Investment Fund (PIF)'s direct and indirect #holdings in aramco, underscores the nation's strategic pivot towards new economic horizons. Crown Prince H.H Mohammed bin Salman, who chairs PIF, hailed the move as a key step in expanding investment opportunities and boosting the national economy. PIF's burgeoning influence as a global investment powerhouse has been on a meteoric rise, with investments spanning from technology to sports. Last year alone, PIF invested a staggering $31.5 billion, cementing its position as the world's top spending sovereign wealth fund. "This transfer underscores Saudi Arabia's long-term vision to diversify and strengthen its economy," said an investment expert. "It not only boosts PIF's financial standing but also underscores the nation's commitment to a sustainable, diversified economy." The transfer comes at a crucial juncture as Saudi Arabia looks to further unlock the potential of aramco and drive economic growth. With plans to sell more shares of Aramco in the pipeline, the kingdom is poised to harness new sources of financing to fuel its ambitious Vision 2030 goals. As Saudi Arabia forges ahead with its economic transformation, this move heralds a new chapter in the nation's economic evolution. With PIF at the helm of transformative investments, the kingdom is poised to seize new opportunities and chart a course towards a prosperous future. #saudiarabia #oilandgas #acquisition #banks #sovereignwealthfunds #familyoffice #riyadh #vision2030 #diversification #economicoutlook #financialtrends #investmentstrategy #sabic #neom #gigaprojects #investmentstrategy
