Qatar Investment Authority has reportedly discussed separating its overseas investments from its domestic portfolio as part of a potential restructuring.
Executives have considered setting up a new entity to hold domestic assets worth tens of billions of dollars and develop them into global champions, Bloomberg reported, adding the move would allow the sovereign wealth fund to sharpen its focus on overseas investments.
With about $580 billion in assets under management, QIA ranks among the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, according to Global SWF.
The fund has stepped up dealmaking in recent months. This week, the QIA agreed with Goldman Sachs to expand their strategic partnership, with the wealth fund committing a total of $25 billion to funds managed by the Wall Street bank.
In the past couple of months, the QIA has backed a $7.4 billion take-private of Janus Henderson Group Plc, joined a $13 billion funding round for AI startup Anthropic, partnered with Blue Owl Capital on a $3 billion data-center venture, and teamed up with Brookfield Asset Management on a $20 billion push into AI infrastructure.
