The Future Fund, with an initial investment of $60.5 billion from the federal government, now holds more than half a billion dollars in shares of weapons manufacturers and war-related companies. Since its inception, the fund has grown to a total of $169.2 billion through investments in global stocks, bonds, property, infrastructure, and financial derivatives.
A Freedom of Information request from Greens senator David Shoebridge revealed that the Future Fund's holdings in 30 'defence companies' (mainly global weapons manufacturers and aerospace companies) totalled $604.5 million as of October 2023. This has led to accusations of politicisation and ethical concerns surrounding the fund's investments
