investments or<\/strong><strong> redirect them toward national priorities<\/strong> <strong>in case of a prolonged disruption<\/strong> to the Strait of Hormuz and a subsequent disruption in energy flows, Global SWF\u2019s head of data and research Daniel Brett wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/globalswf.com\/news\/gulf-sovereign-wealth-funds-and-the-iran-crisis-scenario-analysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">note<\/a> seen by EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Funds may be redirected toward \"resilience investments\" if energy and processing infrastructure continue to be targeted <\/strong>in an escalation scenario, Brett wrote. Each one would focus on its own mandate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The<strong> Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (Adia) <\/strong>would<strong> redirect investments toward \u201cresilience sectors\u201d within Abu Dhabi\u2019s sovereign system<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mubadala <\/strong>will refocus its capital on sectors supporting<strong> economic resilience <\/strong>and<strong> strategic supply chains<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>L\u2019Imad Holding<\/strong>, whose mandate includes strategic sectors like infrastructure, real estate, and urban mobility \u2014 with both a domestic and global focus \u2014 could start focusing capital on <strong>logistics<\/strong> and <strong>security infrastructure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>This would be unusual<\/strong> \u2014 Economist Hamzeh Al Gaaod previously told us that Gulf SWFs don\u2019t currently have a stabilization mandate, and historically, funds like the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority are designed to \u201cwithstand volatility rather than respond to it,\u201d Brett writes, with very infrequent withdrawals meant to be repurposed for the government.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>What Adia would normally do:<\/strong> Rather than fully liquidating its positions, it tends to rebalance into market dislocations, Brett explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Meanwhile, funds like Mubadala and L\u2019Imad, which focus on economic diversification and strategic sectors, would potentially slow investments <\/strong>or make changes to partnership structures depending on national priorities. L\u2019Imad \u2014 which now holds all of ADQ's assets \u2014 would refocus its efforts toward maintaining domestic economic stability and protecting strategic holdings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>How likely are they to shift their priorities?<\/strong> Global SWF sees only a 25% likelihood of a prolonged disruption, which would tighten liquidity and see SWFs enforce a degree of discipline, while a scenario where an escalation would prompt a repurposing of funds is only 15% likely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The most likely scenario? <\/strong>There\u2019s a 40% chance of a temporary disruption to Hormuz, followed by a reopening and an environment of inflated oil and gas prices, leading to potential windfalls for Gulf sovereign institutions. In this case, they would increase investments strategically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Adia<\/strong> would look toward liquid public markets; <strong>Mubadala<\/strong> would continue to prioritize investments in tech, infrastructure, and the energy transition; and <strong>L\u2019Imad<\/strong> would increase \u201cincremental investments in logistics, food security, energy, and infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Elsewhere in the region<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>PIF swings with oil revenues:<\/strong> During a disruption, Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund (PIF) would likely rephase domestic gigaprojects to enforce capital discipline. High oil prices and Aramco dividends, however, act as a turbo-charger, enabling the fund to selectively deploy capital into global tech and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>In an escalation scenario, PIF would shift its focus toward national resilience<\/strong>, prioritizing <strong>defense industrialization<\/strong> and <strong>logistics<\/strong> to secure the Kingdom\u2019s supply chains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The fund is already eyeing new investors to fuel its gigaprojects<\/strong>, planning to cut its capital spending by 15%, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agbi.com\/giga-projects\/2026\/02\/saudi-to-test-new-pif-strategy-with-investors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AGBI<\/a> reports, citing sources it says are familiar with the matter.

Taiwan is flashing a similar strain, as foreigners dumped USD 6.3 bn of equities in just the first three days of the week, putting the market on track for one of its largest weekly outflows on record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The problem for Asia: <\/strong>Asia imports the shock more directly than most, with Japan and South Korea especially exposed to Hormuz-linked shipments. China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are all heavily import-dependent, making this oil spike \u201cexponentially more corrosive\u201d for Asia than for the West, Vantage\u2019s Hebe Chen said. Goldman Sachs estimates a 20% jump in Brent would shave as much as 2% off regional earnings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The AI trade is now part of the unwind. <\/strong>Investors are trimming last year\u2019s hardware winners \u2014 especially South Korea and Taiwan \u2014 as higher energy costs collide with rich multiples and make capital-heavy tech stories harder to defend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Credit is flashing the same warning: <\/strong>A Julius Baer note seen by EnterpriseAM says Asian CDS spreads are widening across oil-importing economies, with India up 6.6 bps in a week and higher-risk Southeast Asian names moving 4-6 bps, as markets begin pricing a steeper regional risk premium if the war drags on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Truth is, some of that fatigue predated the geopolitical jitters: <\/strong>Foreign investors sold Asian equities for a fourth straight month in February, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/foreign-selloff-asia-stocks-continues-february-seoul-hardest-hit-2026-03-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reports, with South Korea alone posting record outflows of USD 13.7 bn, as AI valuation nerves had already started spilling far beyond Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The selloff across Asian equities continues this morning<\/strong>, with South Korea\u2019s Kospi falling 1.9% and Japan\u2019s Nikkei down 0.3%. Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng seems to be the only outlier, gaining 0.7%.
