Invesco: Sovereign investors are paying increasing attention to diversification and are beginning to shift towards energy assets.

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on June 29 that, according to a survey released by Invesco on Monday, sovereign wealth funds and central banks managing $29 trillion in assets are shifting towards energy assets and expressing concerns about the US dollar, reflecting portfolio reassessments triggered by unprecedented geopolitical changes. The survey of 90 sovereign wealth funds and 54 central banks shows that, amidst trade tariffs, waterway closures, and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, investors are increasingly focusing on diversified portfolios that can "withstand shocks and maintain overall stability." About 80% of respondents indicated that energy security and energy transition infrastructure are the most reliable investments to enhance the resilience of their portfolios, with infrastructure expected to account for 9% of sovereign wealth fund assets by 2026. Invesco's report stated that the competition among companies to build energy-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure has further increased the appeal of such assets. Benjamin Jones, Head of Research at Invesco, said, "In a world of inflation shocks, geopolitical fragmentation, and greater market concentration, investors are rethinking old assumptions about diversification and redesigning portfolios to withstand a broader range of outcomes. Resilience is becoming a hard requirement rather than a nice-to-have."```
