Saudi Arabia's $900 billion sovereign wealth fund is exploring new fundraising options.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which manages more than $900 billion in assets, is exploring new fundraising options to expand investments without injecting additional capital, Reuters reported on November 10, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Options include securitizing revenue streams from portfolio companies, selling parts of mature assets and raising funds for younger businesses. The move comes amid liquidity pressures on Saudi lenders, a slowdown in stock market listings and increasing pressure on PIF investments to generate returns as the economic challenges from the war between the US and Israel in Iran increase.
The fund said its strategy for 2026-2030 aims to diversify financial returns and increase participation in the private sector and capital markets.
