About the Organization

We are a globally diversified sovereign-backed investment institution managing a multi-hundred-billion-dollar portfolio across public equities, fixed income, private equity, venture capital, infrastructure, real assets, private credit, and strategic direct investments.

Our mandate spans long-term capital preservation, intergenerational wealth creation, strategic national development investments, and global portfolio diversification across developed and emerging markets.

Operating in complex geopolitical and macroeconomic environments, we deploy capital across sectors including advanced technology, energy transition, life sciences, logistics, AI infrastructure, and global financial services.

As capital markets evolve amid volatility, digital asset integration, and shifting global economic alliances, we are seeking a visionary Chief Investment Officer to define and execute an enterprise-wide investment strategy at global scale.

This is not a portfolio management role. This is a capital stewardship and strategic allocation mandate.
