Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute Plans $5T I20 Summit Alongside G20

The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute (SWFI) has announced the inaugural I20 Summit, a five-day gathering scheduled from December 11 to 15, 2026, in Miami, Florida. The event is designed to run concurrently with the G20 Leaders' Summit at Trump National Doral, positioning institutional investors alongside the world's most consequential heads-of-state meeting.

SWFI says the overarching goal is to facilitate a capital deployment target of $5 trillion into the United States, a figure that underscores the scale of cross-border investment appetite the organization hopes to channel through a single coordinated forum.
