KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- Global SWF has published the seventh edition of its Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience (GSR) Scoreboard, with nine institutions achieving perfect scores in the 2026 assessment of state-owned investors.
“We are very satisfied with the increasing response and accountability of sovereign investors, which recognise the importance of adopting best practices and embracing change and evolution.
“This year, the nine perfect scorers from around the world demonstrated robustness and hardiness in the context of geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility,” said Global SWF Founder and Managing Director, Diego López in a statement.
The annual assessment covers the world's 200 largest sovereign wealth funds and public pension funds, which manage US$34.0 trillion on behalf of 76 countries, and is based on 25 governance, sustainability and resilience indicators using publicly available information. (US$1=RM4.07)
This year's edition introduced three revised indicators to reflect the growing importance of relative financial performance, carbon emissions reporting, and the adoption of and investment in artificial intelligence (AI).
On a like-for-like basis, the average GSR score across the 200 funds edged up to 60 per cent, with sustainability and resilience scores improving while governance, including transparency, remained unchanged.
Governments worldwide, including those in deficit economies, continue to establish new strategic investment vehicles, underscoring the importance of promoting industry best practices and strong institutional role models.
Nearly two-thirds of the assessed funds have adopted or invested in AI, with half reporting their first AI-related initiatives during the past 12 months. Institutions in Oceania recorded the strongest performance, followed by Europe and North America, while Asian funds scored just above the overall threshold.
Global SWF is an industry specialist that promotes greater understanding of state-owned investors through its data platform, research reports, consulting services, executive education programmes and industry events.
