World's oldest wealth fund swells to record US$700bil
ABU DHABI: Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) likely broke into the world’s top three sovereign wealth funds by assets. The Future Generations Fund, managed by the authority known as KIA, has risen to a record of about US$700bil (RM2.91trillion), according to a source. Its assets were valued at around US$670bil (RM2.789 trillion) at the close of the last fiscal year on March 31, the source said. The fund, a national savings pot designed to help the country prepare for life after oil, has more than half of its investments in the United States, where equity markets have been on a tear.
