Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been ranked the world’s most valuable sovereign wealth fund (SWF) brand, with $1.1 billion, according to a study conducted by Brand Finance.

 

PIF’s value is largely driven by high scores for the brand’s awareness, purpose and commitment to positive growth, according to the report.

 

Looking ahead, the PIF has ambitious growth prospects, aiming to reach $2 trillion in assets under management (AUMs) by 2030. This ambition has enhanced the fund's brand value and brand strength as it adopts bold investment strategies that align with other SWF brands.

It is a key driver of economic transformation in Saudi Arabia. Since 2017, the fund has launched 94 new companies and contributed to providing more than 644,000 local job opportunities.
