Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC) is a United Arab Emirates-based Sovereign Wealth Fund which was established in 1976 as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. A wholly-owned agency of the Government of Abu Dhabi, the firm became the Abu Dhabi Investment Council in 2006 when President H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan issued Law No. 16. Based in Abu Dhabi, the Council is headed by the Ruler of Abu Dhabi and invests the government's oil revenues inside and outside the country and manages their worldwide assets. The Council plays a key role in coordinating and observing the investments made by state-owned enterprises and holding firms. ADIC is considered one of the largest institutional investors in the world and holds stakes in two large state-owned banks, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi. Their sister fund is the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
