Launched in December 2015 by Mubadala, China Development Bank Capital and China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the UAE-China Joint Investment Cooperation Fund will deploy capital in jointly-approved investments in the UAE and China. This initiative is funded equally by the UAE and Chinese governments.

The fund has the flexibility to look at a range of alternative investment strategies, asset classes and special opportunities, including greenfield investment projects, with the aim of building a balanced portfolio with a focus on sustainable returns and principal capital protection. 

The sourcing and diligence of new investments will be undertaken by a team that will include both existing Mubadala and CDBC employees, and newly hired investment professionals.
