Sovereign Wealth Funds Of The Gulf: Mubadala

Abu Dhabi's Sovereign Wealth Funds seem to be constantly in the news. Mubadala is an investment and development arm (i.e. Sovereign Wealth Fund) of the Government of Abu Dhabi that has made headlines with its announcement that it will set up an $8 billion joint venture firm with U.S. company General Electric (GE). But GE is only the tip of the iceberg of the gigantic Mubadala investment portfolio.

Mubadala was started by the Government of Abu Dhabi to establish new companies and to acquire strategic holdings in existing companies, either in the UAE or abroad, with special focus on generating sustainable economic benefits for Abu Dhabi through a careful selection of business ventures in partnership with local, regional and international investors. Mubadala invests in a wide range of strategic sectors including energy, utilities, real estate, public-private partnerships, basic industries and services so as to diversify and further develop the rapidly growing economy of Abu Dhabi, while achieving superior returns on its investments.

The Officers of Mubadala are:

- HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman
- Mohamed Ahmed Al Bowardi, Vice Chairman
- Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, CEO
- Carlos Obeid, CFO
- Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, COO
