Saudi Arabia’s PIF Named Top Sovereign Wealth Fund Brand Again
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been named the world’s most valuable and fastest-growing sovereign wealth fund brand for the second year in a row. This ranking comes from Brand Finance, a UK-based consulting company.
PIF’s Brand Value in 2025
PIF is now valued at $1.2 billion, which is an 11% increase from 2024. It received a strong A+ rating and came in second globally for brand strength with a score of 62.9 out of 100. PIF is the only sovereign wealth fund to be in the top 10 for both brand value and the size of its assets.
It also ranked 7th in the world when comparing brand value to the total size of its assets. This shows the fund is growing well, thanks to strong performance from key companies and long-term projects.
Sports Investments Boost Growth
Brand Finance said PIF’s brand grew because of smart investments in global sports. These include partnerships with top tennis organizations like ATP and WTA, as well as with racing events like Formula E and Extreme E. All of these are part of its E360 sports platform.
PIF also owns LIV Golf, which helped increase its global attention and brand power.
Other Fund Rankings
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was ranked the strongest in brand strength, with a score of 64.1 and an A+ grade.
In the asset management space, BlackRock is the most valuable brand in 2025 at $8.3 billion, followed by JP Morgan ($7.2 billion) and Vanguard ($6 billion).

The total value of the world’s top 50 sovereign wealth and asset management brands rose by 5% to $73.9 billion this year.

“High-profile investments that make a positive impact help build stronger brands,” said David Haigh, CEO of Brand Finance.
PIF’s Financial Growth
In 2024, PIF increased its assets by 18% to $1.15 trillion. However, its net profit fell 60% to $6.8 billion due to higher interest rates, inflation, and rising costs. Still, revenues grew nearly 25% to $110.2 billion, driven by successful companies in its portfolio.
PIF plays a major role in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan, supporting massive projects like NEOM and The Line. By 2025, PIF aims to:
-
Have over $1 trillion in assets
-
Invest $39 billion yearly in local projects
-
Add $319 billion to the non-oil economy
-
Create 1.8 million jobs
