Tellimer - Emerging & Frontier Markets Equity Strategy

#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. Much more on PIF and #Vision2030 in my full report Tellimer, linked below in the comment. #emergingmarkets #mena
