Walid Al-Muhairi, Mubadala Investment Executive Vice President, said on Tuesday that the investment company of the Abu Dhabi government is investing $ 100 billion in the United States, which is more than 40 percent of its nearly $ 240 billion portfolio.
He said at the Salt Conference in Abu Dhabi: "What this indicates is that the risk and return equation from our point of view is working in the United States," adding that most of the investments are direct, with a small percentage indirectly invested through funds.
He said that the rest of the portfolio is divided almost equally between three regions, namely the Emirates, Europe and Asia.
Al-Muhairi said that Mubadala has invested two billion dollars in China in 15 or 16 sectors of its 10-billion-dollar Emirates China fund, and that investments in the Chinese mainland may increase.
"China is the UAE's largest trading partner ... It is an important economic relationship for us," he said.
Al-Muhairi said that Mubadala wanted to participate in some form, method or form in the growth of China, which may become the largest economy in the world.
He added that technology is the focus of Mubadala.
Mubadala invests $ 15 billion in Softbank's Vision 1 fund and recently announced plans to invest $ 250 million through two funds in technology companies in the Middle East and North Africa.
