Abu Dhabi Investment Council

Sovereign wealth fund with endowment investing

Overview

ADIC is a sovereign wealth fund owned by Mubadala Investment Company. It uses an endowment-style investment approach, pooling capital and allocating across traditional and alternative assets worldwide with a long-term horizon, while also seeding new investment strategies for its partners. Its government backing within Abu Dhabi’s investment ecosystem and focus on long-hold, diversified portfolios distinguish it from standalone asset managers. The goal is to deliver strong, steady returns for its partners while supporting Abu Dhabi’s strategic financial objectives.
