  "account": "Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, intends to maintain an annual investment of $39 billion, primarily targeting Asia, according to its chief financial officer, Carlos Obeid. Speaking at the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore, Obeid stated that last year, Mubadala invested approximately $39 billion, constituting around 10 percent of its portfolio.

Asia will remain a crucial focus area for Mubadala as it expands its global investment portfolio across all continents and asset classes. The company plans to increase its exposure to Asia, which currently makes up about 13 percent of its portfolio. By 2021, Mubadala had invested in China, South Korea, Japan, and India.

The company has also made strategic investments in India, including telecom giant Reliance Jio and other companies through its stake in Investcorp.",
