In this podcast episode, we explore the world of sovereign wealth funds: who they are, why they exist, and how they operate, as well as understand the fascination of Norway's largest fund with private equity firms.

Additionally, we delve into the recent announcement that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the European private equity heavyweight Ardian are set to purchase a 25% stake in Heathrow Airport for £2.4bn and discuss Barclays Bank's considerations for a strategic overhaul in the UK.
