Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund waded deeper into the U.S. stock market, adding stakes in e-commerce, Chinese, and clean energy and transportation companies.

The Public Investment Fund made 19 new investments in U.S.-traded companies during the third quarter, according to a regulatory filing on Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These positions, combined with the market value of existing stakes, more than doubled the fund’s holdings to $43.4 billion.
