China Investment

China Investment Corporation (CIC) is China’s largest sovereign wealth fund, founded on September 29, 2007, with the mission to diversify the country’s foreign exchange reserves and seek maximum returns for its shareholder within acceptable risk tolerance. CIC operates as a wholly state-owned company, reporting directly to the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, and is structured around three main subsidiaries: CIC International, CIC Capital, and Central Huijin Investment Ltd., each functioning as a distinct entity.

As a financial investor, CIC is guided by principles of long-term investment and risk diversification. Its investments are driven by research and allocation, conducted on a commercial basis with the objective of maximizing returns rather than seeking control of portfolio companies. CIC is committed to responsible investing, abiding by laws and regulations in both China and recipient countries, and fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities.

CIC’s investment portfolio spans public equities, fixed income, alternative assets, and real estate, with a global footprint across North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions. The fund plays a strategic role in supporting China’s national interests, including through investments in technology, infrastructure, and natural resources.
