RIYADH — The Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been ranked as the world's most valuable and fastest-growing sovereign wealth fund brand for 2025, according to leading brand valuation consultancy Brand Finance. It marks the second consecutive year the Saudi sovereign wealth fund tops the global list. PIF's brand was valued at $1.2 billion this year, an 11% increase compared to 2024. The fund received an A+ brand strength rating, placing it second globally with a score of 62.9, and seventh in terms of assets under management (AUM) relative to brand value — the only sovereign fund to rank in the top ten in that category. According to Brand Finance's annual report on sovereign wealth funds and asset managers, PIF achieved the fastest brand growth rate in 2025. The report credits this momentum to PIF's expanding asset base, positive performance of Saudi portfolio companies, and the maturation of key projects. The fund's communications efforts and commitment to creating long-term impact also contributed to its brand strength. The Brand Finance ranking, launched in 2024, aims to help organizations understand the value of their brand and how it contributes to overall business performance. It evaluates brand strength based on stakeholder perceptions, financial outcomes, and non-financial benefits such as attracting investment, talent, or media attention. David Haigh, CEO of Brand Finance, said PIF exemplifies the branding power of high-impact investments, particularly in international sports. 'PIF stands out through major initiatives such as its transformation of Newcastle United into a competitive football club, as well as sponsorships in golf, tennis, and electric motor racing,' Haigh said. PIF continues to focus on achieving its strategic goals of generating sustainable returns and driving economic transformation in Saudi Arabia. It is also among the most influential global investors in shaping future economic sectors. In addition to its brand recognition, PIF ranked first globally in governance, sustainability, and resilience (GSR) performance and commitment, sharing the top spot with a 100% score among 200 sovereign investors in a 2025 report by Global SWF.

Saudi Arabia's PIF, Abu Dhabi's ADIA top 2025 SWF brand rankings
For the second year in a row, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been named the most valuable and fastest-growing sovereign wealth fund (SWF) brand, according to the latest data from Brand Finance, a leading global independent brand valuation consultancy. In a separate Brand Finance ranking of the strongest sovereign wealth fund brands, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) took the top spot, scoring 64.1 out of 100, while Saudi Arabia's PIF ranked second. The ADIA was also ranked the fourth-most valuable SWF globally. Meanwhile, the Kuwait Investment Authority placed sixth in each of these rankings, as the 6th most valuable and the 6th strongest sovereign wealth fund brand. The Asset Management and Sovereign Wealth Fund 50 2025 is the second iteration of the Brand Finance annual ranking of the world's strongest and most valuable AM and SWF brands. The collective value of the 50 ranked brands has grown 5 per cent year on year, totaling nearly $73.9bn in 2025. PIF has the single most valuable brand name among the world's SWFs; valued at $1.2bn, up 11 per cent from 2024. It also ranked seventh for brand value to AUM ratio among all AM and SWF brands combined, the only SWF to feature in the top 10. PIF's assets under management have grown rapidly due to robust portfolio performance, driven by a range of key portfolio companies and long-term projects that are beginning to mature. PIF's value is largely driven by high scores for the brand's awareness, purpose and commitment to positive growth. Commenting on the rankings, David Haigh, Chairman and CEO, Brand Finance, said, 'Brand Finance research finds that high-profile investments with a positive impact continue to build the brand values of asset managers and sovereign wealth funds. This is evident in the impact of successful sports partnerships, which deliver an observable uplift in awareness and familiarity among B2B and informed audience. Haigh added, 'Formula 1 and football are powerful and popular ways for asset managers and sovereign wealth funds to raise their international profiles in a way that is consistent with the brands' wealth and stature. For instance, JP Morgan's banking division Chase just became the first sponsor of Arsenal FC's VIP Lounge. In 2024, PIF signed groundbreaking global partnerships accelerating the growth of sports with ATP and WTA tennis, Concacaf and Formula E, Extreme E and E1 under the E360 umbrella while its ownership of LIV Golf is helping to expand the game's audience around the world.'
