Saudi wealth fund to back $40bn Blackstone infrastructure vehicle:
"The sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans to place $20bn with Blackstone, the alternative asset manager, becoming the anchor investor in a new $40bn infrastructure fund that will focus on mainly upgrading US assets.
The two sides announced the non-binding memorandum on Saturday, just hours after US president Donald Trump landed in Riyadh for his first foreign visit since inauguration.
However, both Saudi’s Public Investment Fund and Blackstone stated that the terms were not yet finalised and emphasised that the agreement was the culmination of talks that predated the US president’s election."
