80 % view energy security and transition infrastructure as the most credible resilient investments.

Summary

Sovereign Funds Bottlenecked

Sovereign funds managing $29 trillion face bottlenecks because private energy-infrastructure supply cannot absorb the capital.
Reliance on managers creates conflicts as they favor shorter horizons.
Security screens including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) block sovereign bids for critical energy assets.
Reduced dollar exposure pushes sovereigns into credit, real estate and infrastructure, allocating 40 % to short-duration local debt and gold and 60 % to midstream and power projects.
