Talking about friction in capital deployment gives the impression of a blocked path, as if large institutions were inevitably constrained. Yet, history shows actors who, by their size, transform the game. When the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund deploys billions in global partnerships, it does not just navigate within limits; it creates new opportunities. It is a matter of reinvention, where the investment scene turns towards massive projects that, although complex, offer stable returns. Size is not always a handicap; sometimes it opens doors to major co-investments or national infrastructure projects that smaller funds cannot even see.
