Savvy is the ultimately controlling company within PIF that is active in gaming. The only Savvy-owned companies active in mobile gaming are Scopely and Scopely’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Niantic, and Tag Games. Savvy is otherwise active in organising and commercialising eSports events, developing and investing in experimental gaming venues, and developing video games.

Aside from Savvy, PIF’s portfolio consists of companies active in various industries, including aerospace and defence, construction, financial services, healthcare, mining, real estate and others.
