KUCHING, Apr 8: The Sarawak Sovereign Wealth Future Fund Board (SSWFFB) has entered the implementation phase of its 2025 investment strategy, committing around USD850 million in global fixed-income assets and RM1.6 billion in domestic bonds, marking a major step from its foundational stage to active portfolio management.
According to a report by the Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS), its chairman Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Sulong Matjeraie said the initial investments underscore the board’s guiding principle of capital preservation while gradually building a diversified portfolio.
“These early allocations reflect our commitment to structured, phased investment, maintaining a careful balance between risk and return,” he said during the SSWFFB Hari Raya open house at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) complex today.
He also highlighted that SSWFFB has been accepted as an Associate Member of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds, joining a global network of sovereign investors committed to high standards of governance, transparency, and responsible investment practices.
Looking ahead, he revealed that 2026 will mark a new phase for SSWFFB, with a focus on gradual portfolio expansion to include global public equities and multiple asset classes, aligned with long-term risk tolerance and strategic investment objectives.
“We will continue to take a disciplined and structured approach to generate sustainable long-term returns, ensuring the fund’s growth and protection for the benefit of Sarawak’s future generations,” he added. — DayakDaily
