Saudi Arabia’s $320 billion pension fund manager has hired the former head of local investment bank Riyad Capital as its new CEO.

RIYADH — Hassana Investment Co., the $320 billion investment arm managing Saudi Arabia’s pension funds, has appointed Sabty Sulaiman Al-Sabty as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective December 1, according to a spokesperson quoted by Bloomberg News.

Al-Sabty, who previously served as the CEO of Riyad Capital, brings extensive experience in Saudi Arabia’s financial and investment sectors. His appointment marks a new phase of leadership at one of the Kingdom’s largest institutional investors.
