PIF and BlackRock Launch Joint Investment Funds Spanning Multiple Asset Classes

📍 Riyadh – BETH Media Agency

The Public Investment Fund (PIF) and BlackRock have announced the launch of joint investment funds across diversified asset classes — available to both local and international investors — managed through the BlackRock Riyadh Investment Management (BRIM) platform.

This initiative continues the strategic partnership established in 2024, when PIF became a cornerstone investor in BRIM with commitments of up to $5 billion, aiming to develop the Saudi capital market and strengthen Riyadh’s position as a regional and global financial hub.

The new funds include two primary asset categories:

Saudi Systematic Active Equities

MENA Fixed Income

The joint launch seeks to diversify investment opportunities, enhance local asset-management capabilities, and attract global capital inflows, in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.
