Investment fund assets grow by 38.7B riyals
The assets of investment funds in the Saudi market expanded over the course of a year, increasing by 38.7 billion riyals to reach 231.694 billion riyals by the end of the first quarter of 2026, compared to 193 billion riyals in the same period of 2025. Data shows that the largest growth came from money markets and debt instruments, each accounting for more than 62% of the increase, with their assets rising by 24.05 billion and 10.88 billion riyals respectively, representing growth rates of 40.85% and 42.26%. Conversely, equity fund assets decreased by 3.24 billion riyals, around 6.8%, reducing their share of total assets to 19.2%. Other fund categories experienced varying increases, such as real estate, traded, and index funds, while assets of closed-end, balanced, and capital-protected funds declined. This indicates a clear shift in the composition of fund assets, with an increased share for money markets and debt instruments, and a decline in the proportion of equities within total assets.
