Mohammed Saif al-Sowaidi
Spear’s Review
Mohammed Saif al-Sowaidi became CEO of the Qatar Investment Authority, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, in November 2024. The QIA is the ninth largest global sovereign wealth fund in the world, with an estimated $557 billion in assets.
Al-Sowaidi was promoted from his role as the QIA’s chief investment officer of Americas. He has been vocal about wanting to increase exposure to the US, where he says the company will invest $500 billion over the next 10 years.
His appointment to the top job comes at a time when Qatar is scaling up its liquefied natural gas production by 85 per cent – a move expected to generate significant fiscal surpluses and increase the QIA’s capital inflows in the coming years.
