Global sovereign wealth funds are increasingly shifting capital toward North America, driven largely by the artificial intelligence boom. Investment in the United States is projected to rise significantly, potentially reaching 58% of total allocations in the first half of 2026.

In contrast, investment in emerging economies such as China and India has seen a significant decline. In China, foreign investment dropped from $344.1 billion in 2021 to $42.6 billion in 2024, with a slight recovery to $80 billion in 2025. This trend is attributed to a prolonged downturn in China's real estate market and increased regulatory scrutiny of foreign capital.
