Yasir Al-Rumayyan: The Architect of Capital | The Universal Owner — Weekend Edition

from The Universal Owner · host Universal Asset Owners

Welcome to The Universal Owner — Weekend Edition. Each weekend, we go deep on one person whose decisions move capital at a scale that shapes the global economy. This week: Yasir Al-Rumayyan. Governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund ($925bn AUM). Chairman of Saudi Aramco. Three days ago in Rome, he told European ministers that Gulf capital was reconsidering its European commitments. He arrived as a creditor, not a supplicant. This episode covers his full story: from Buraidah to Riyadh to Rome. The formation. The transformation of PIF from $150bn to $925bn. The $45bn SoftBank Vision Fund bet. The Aramco IPO. The Newcastle United acquisition. LIV Golf. And what the Rome speech reveals about the new leverage of sovereign capital at scale. Runtime: 18 minutes 48 seconds. UniversalAssetOwners.com — Where Long-Term Capital Thinks.
