Abu Dhabi Investment Authority Revamps Website to Increase Transparency
Posted on 03/15/2010
According to the 2009 Review, “In U.S. dollar terms, the 20-year and 30-year annualised rates of return for the ADIA portfolio were 6.5% and 8.0% respectively, as of 31 December 2009.”
According to the press release, “The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) today published its first Annual Review and re-launched the ADIA website with enhanced content and interactive features. Established in 1976, ADIA is a globally-diversified investment institution that prudently invests funds on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi through a strategy focused on long-term value creation.
The ADIA Review 2009 provides an overview of ADIA’s activities during the past year, and includes: a breakdown of its portfolio by asset class and region; a description of its approach to investing and risk management; an outline of how ADIA is structured; and overviews of both its governance practices and relationship with the Government of Abu Dhabi. It also addresses the key role that ADIA’s people have played and continue to play in making it what it is today – a leading global investor and partner of choice.
To coincide with the Annual Review, the ADIA website (www.adia.ae) has been re-launched with a new look, as well as additional content and improved functionality that will make it easier for visitors to learn about ADIA, keep up with its latest news and make contact regarding investment-related issues or employment opportunities. Together, these initiatives, coupled with its leading role as co-chair of the International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds, underscore ADIA’s commitment to and compliance with the Santiago Principles, a comprehensive multilateral framework reflecting the generally accepted principles and practices of sovereign wealth funds. Sheikh Ahmed bin Zayed al Nehayan, Managing Director of ADIA, said today:
“For more than 30 years, ADIA has been successful in building strong and trusted relationships with governments, regulators and business partners around the world. The publication of ADIA’s first annual review and launch of our new website represent another important milestone in this ongoing process.”
ADIA’s highly-diversified and long-term approach to investing means it is strongly positioned for the future and will continue to play a role in providing stability to financial markets.
