Corporate assets, including cash, will hold the balance (5.7 per cent) of the approximately Dh460 billion ($125 billion) portfolio.
Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, Managing Director and CEO of Mubadala Investment Company, said: “This marks an important milestone for the new company. Committees comprised of Mubadala and IPIC leaders, have worked very hard over the past six months to put in place a proposal for a structure that will best serve the new company’s mandate. The structure, governance and world-class talent will enable the Mubadala Investment Company to be an investment powerhouse for Abu Dhabi.”
