As illustrated by recent $8.9 billion US investment in Intel Corporation and the approval of Ambler Road Project in Alaska, Trump’s US SWF is also focused on strategic AI and infrastructure investing.

These “new infrastructure” assets offers stable cash flows, supports global connectivity, and drives sustainable growth. In the global capital markets, how will these public investment funds evolve with the enegy transition and digital economy development agenda?
