In the wake of the immediate onset of the crisis, sovereign investment slowed dramatically consistent with an abrupt halt to an economic activity generally.

Our coverage includes 418 investments across 448 discrete deals with the difference attributable to investments in which sovereign funds invested in the same deal. Thus, our current sample is nearly 3 times larger than our 2019-20 sample and on average considerably larger than any prior sample. We track the investment activity of 40 SWFs. Similarly to previous reports, activity was dominated by the top 5. These include Temasek who comprise 27.9% of investment activity, GIC, Mubadala, the Qatar Investment Authority, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. This group of five together represent approximately 23% of the funds included in our sample, but over 85% of the investments. For our current sample, SWFs participated in transactions whose aggregate transaction value was approximately $120 billion.IE UniversityIE Center for the Governance of ChangeMinisterio de Industria, Comercio y Turismohttps://ror.org/02jjdwm75202420242022info:eu-repo/semantics/reportapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6363207https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14417/2855reponame:Repositorio IEinstname:IEInglésIE Center for the Governance of ChangeIE UniversityAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcodeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.ie.edu:20.500.14417/28552026-06-15T12:40:57Z
