PIF's annualized return hit 5.8% since September 2017; AUM slipped 1% to SAR 3.396 trillion, and the Saudi companies portfolio fell 10% to SAR 1.108 trillion.
The Public Investment Fund's assets under management fell 1% to SAR 3.396 trillion in 2025, and the Saudi companies portfolio dropped 10% to SAR 1.108 trillion, according to the fund's annual report. PIF is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, wholly owned by the government. The Vision Realization Program, launched in September 2017, is the fund's vehicle for investments tied to the kingdom's Vision 2030 diversification strategy.
PIF said total shareholder return since the program's launch reached an annualized 5.8% through the end of 2025. The return covers a period of more than eight years. The AUM figure includes SAR 30 billion in redeemed amounts from other entities. AUM a year earlier stood at SAR 3.434 trillion.
The fund attributed the decline in assets to short-term market factors. Global economic volatility and the impact of U.S. tariffs on asset valuations in domestic and international markets weighed on performance, the report said.
Domestic investments made up 76% of total assets, SAR 2.57 trillion. International investments accounted for 20%, SAR 663 billion. The Treasury portfolio held the remaining 4%, SAR 133 billion. Saudi companies absorbed 33% of total assets, and investments aimed at developing and growing promising sectors represented 29%.
Saudi companies held SAR 1.108 trillion at the end of 2025, down 10% from the prior year. Total AUM fell about 1%, or SAR 38 billion. The Saudi companies book dropped by roughly SAR 123 billion, so the rest of the portfolio rose by about SAR 85 billion.
The annual report also breaks out portfolios for Saudi real estate and infrastructure development, international strategic investments, international diversified investments, and the public global markets investment program. PIF said its holdings in 2025 spanned a wide range of industries, based on global sector standards.
