To mobilise long term investment into National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), the first investment agreement between NIIF Master Fund and a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) has been signed.
As a part of the agreement, ADIA will become the first institutional investor in NIIF’s Master Fund and a shareholder in the NIIF’s investment management Company.
National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF)
The Union Government has set up NIIF in 2015 with aim to attract investments from both domestic and international sources for infrastructure development.
It was envisaged to be Category II Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) under SEBI Regulations.
NIIF is claimed to be India’s first sovereign wealth fund and it will also serve as an umbrella fund with several funds underneath it.
