#GlobalSWF - Global ranking of cities in terms of capital managed by their Sovereign Wealth Funds "SWFs" (8th October) "● SWFs managed US$ 12.5 trillion in assets as of October 1, 2024, with six cities representing two-thirds of the resources, and #AbuDhabi securing the top spot as the Capital of Capital. ● In addition to financial capital, Abu Dhabi also leads when it comes to #humancapital, i.e., personnel employed by SWFs of that particular jurisdiction, with 3,107 staff among the above-mentioned funds. ● This aligns well with the flurry of financial institutions registering in ADGM’s financial-free zone – as many as 68 this year so far, according to Global SWF estimates. ● Today, Abu Dhabi SWFs are not only the most sizeable but also the most #active in the region and globally. In the first three quarters of 2024, #ADIA, #Mubadala, and #ADQ invested US$ 36 billion in deals across the world, i.e., two-thirds of what all #Gulf SWFs invested, and 26% of what all SWFs globally invested in that period."
