Abu Dhabi fund improves rate of return - FT.com

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, last year sharply improved its annualised rate of return measured over a 20-year period.

Adia said in its an annual review published on Tuesday that annualised rates of return increased to 7.6 per cent on the back of global economic growth, compared with 6.5 per cent in 2009, the first year the fund reported 20-year annualised rates of return.

Annualised rates of return over the 30-year period were little changed at 8.1 per cent in 2010 compared with 8.0 per cent the year earlier, the fund said.
