The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute® (SWFI®), a global source on institutional investors and global capital, has announced its Global Wealth Conference (GWC), taking place in historic locations on May 31 and June 1 in London. The GWC platform has attracted some of the world’s largest pools of capital, some of which are coming from India.

Sovereign wealth funds globally see India as a destination for direct investments. 

Sovereign wealth funds have directly invested US$ 6.714 billion into India in 2022, compared to just US$ 4.3 billion in 2021. This analysis excludes fund commitments. Sovereign wealth funds such as Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, GIC Private Limited, Qatar Investment Authority, Kuwait Investment Authority, Norway Government Pension Fund Global, and others continue to allocate capital directly into India based on SWFI transaction data.

The conference will be attended by 40 sovereign wealth funds, 50+ family offices from around the world, 30+ pension and public funds, 50+ institutional global asset managers, and 30+ prominent personalities from royal families to policymakers. From India, law firm Nishith Desai Associates, SUN Group, Jindal Steel and Power, and a few others will attend the conference.

According to SWFI research, India is a desired destination for SWF capital, and having Indian entities participate can directly drive more capital into the country
