In this connection, our main drive is the fulfillment of our mission to the best interest of our shareholders and clients, while sustaining our role of good corporate citizen.

When the OEI received its mandate in 2007, it was born into an increasingly challenging and volatile global investment environment. The worldwide financial crisis resulted in dramatic changes to the world’s investment and economic landscape. In spite of these challenges, and with valuable support from our sponsors in the Federal Government, we actively began to pursue our mandate: To secure the long term prosperity for the entire nation by strategically investing those funds allocated to us by the Federal Government.

In the few short years since our initial establishment we are proud to have made significant strides in the execution and delivery of our mandate. We have vigorously developed an investment organization that is built on the very highest standards of global best practice and have fostered an exceptional investment capability within a now well-established institution.

We originally inherited two federal assets which formed the foundation of our long-term strategic investment portfolio: Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (du) and Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (Etisalat). Along with our counterparts in both organizations, we have improved corporate governance and ensured full compliance to best practice. Both entities now stand as two of the most progressive telecommunications companies in the Middle East region, and are considered amongst the leading training grounds for UAE professionals.

In 2013 and 2014, the OEI was again entrusted with three additional strategic federal assets, Emirates Post, Emirates Transport and the regional bank, Al Masraf. We consider this increased responsibility as a further vote of confidence by the Federal Government in our ability to develop such assets and realize their long term potential. We are applying the same focus to these three organizations and endeavor to work with their management and boards in order to assist with their long-term growth plans. In any investment organization it is ultimately the caliber and strength of the team that drives consistent, sustainable and long-term returns. The same is true for our team at the OEI. Since our inception we have built a lean but highly experienced and flexible team of world-class investment and support professionals. Our team has quickly adapted and evolved from acting as custodians and managers of our initial cornerstone federal assets to a team that now manages a highly diversified and global portfolio of investments. These investments range from large, direct industrial holdings, private equity and hedge fund investments to more liquid debt and equity securities.
