On Tuesday 11 May the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds publishes its 2020 annual review of sovereign wealth fund investment activity: Continuity in the Face of Upheaval.
The review draws on IFSWF’s comprehensive proprietary database of sovereign wealth funds' direct equity investments since 2015. It reveals that sovereign wealth funds saw a myriad of opportunities in the market dislocations of the COVID-19 pandemic. 2020 was a bumper year for deploying capital, with publicly disclosed direct investments almost doubling year-on-year to $65.9 billion, up from $35.9 billion in 2019 in sectors such as renewable energy, food production, e-commerce and logistics.
The review addresses three key themes in detail:
- The COVID-19 Response
- Climate Opportunities
- Committing to Long-Term Trends
