The council uses an endowment-style model across global asset classes. Its investment areas include private equity, capital solutions, real assets, public markets and secondary transactions. It also backs new strategies with investment partners. This gives the council a role in selecting managers and building investment relationships, alongside its co-investment activity. Mubadala's ownership connects that mandate to the emirate's wider economic priorities. [Investment areas](https://www.adcouncil.ae/en/)
