The Abu Dhabi Investment Council is an investment arm of the Government of Abu Dhabi. The Council started its operations in April 2007 and is responsible for investing part of the government’s surplus financial resources through a globally diversified investment strategy, targeting positive capital returns through an expansive portfolio of highly diversified asset classes and active investment management strategies.

The Council is also empowered with an important direct investment mandate to broaden Abu Dhabi’s economic base and facilitate the international development of local companies.

In the short time since its inception, the Council has established a reputation for its entrepreneurial spirit, open culture and quick decision making process.
