FOR A SEVENTH YEAR, SWFI REVEALS A RANKING OF THE 100 MOST SIGNIFICANT, RESILIENT, AND IMPACTFUL ASSET OWNER AND PUBLIC EXECUTIVES OF 2019.

SEATTLE, WA. – 3 October 2019 – The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute (SWFI) has just released its seventh annual Public Investor 100. The globally-recognized list includes the most significant and impactful public investor executives of 2019. The top 100 ranking assembles the most influential people at some of the largest sovereign funds, endowments, foundations, pensions, and central banks around the globe. SWFI editorial attempts to identify new individuals not recognized in previous lists. As this ranking or list becomes an annual event, SWFI is making an effort for this list to be more of a recognition list than constantly ranking the top-level allocators each year. The list must be vibrant and filled with new people.

As usual, SWFI analyzed a number of dimensions when compiling the list including innovation, funding, environmental circumstances, returns, unique programs, and initiatives undertaken.

To view the specific profiles, please view the Sovereign Wealth Quarterly.
