The Abu Dhabi Investment Council (The Council) is an investment arm of the Government of Abu Dhabi. It started 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 a direct investment mandate to broaden Abu Dhabi’s economic base and facilitate the international development of local companies.
The Abu Dhabi Investment Council was splintered off from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and took over all local subsidiaries previously owned by ADIA including Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, National Bank of Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Investment Company (Invest AD).
