USD 80bn total assets · as of 2026-03-31 · fund-reported / official · source · LIA statement + infographic 2026-06-16 (Q1 2026 total assets) · retrieved 2026-09-01

LIA's OWN statement. MIXED-DATE BASIS: 51.8bn directly-managed financial assets at 2026-03-31 market value PLUS 28.2bn indirect assets via subsidiaries still carried at 2019 Deloitte valuation; PwC revaluation engaged so total should move. The 9.2bn frozen uninvested cash is inside the 51.8bn per LIA's own arithmetic. UN asset-freeze measures remain in force; consolidated IFRS group statements exist only through 2022
