Oman Investment Fund

The fund is legally prohibited from publicly disclosing information about its investment strategy or asset allocation.^{[citation needed]} It is therefore only possible to estimate its funds under management, and a full list of its investments is not publicly available.

The fund has a long-term investment horizon, and its mandate includes seeking above-average returns. Its primary objective upon its establishment was to generate economic growth in the Sultanate of Oman, through direct investment in domestic companies, by assisting foreign companies to extend their investments and operations in Oman, or by facilitating knowledge and technological transfer to domestic entities.

The fund has made investments in real estate and private equity.^[3] Other investment sectors in which it has historically invested include:

• Travel and leisure
• Media and entertainment
• Industrial goods and services
• Industrial transportation and engineering
• Financial services
• Utilities
• Telecom infrastructure

Given the Oman Investment Fund's imperative to generate above average-returns through long-term investments, it has shown a particular interest in emerging industries within Oman, as well as markets with promising growth potential. It has shown a preference for high-growth emerging markets, such as India, where Oman has historical trading ties.^{[citation needed]}

The fund's sole shareholder is the Government of the Sultanate of Oman. It is overseen by Financial Affairs and Energy Resources Council and the Ministry of Finance of Oman.^[4]
