In the UAE, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has estimated capital assets of $875 billion, making it probably the world’s largest state-owned investment company. In July 2007, another rich UAE fund, Dubai International Capital, bought 3% of EADS, after taking a stake of almost 2% in the automotive manufacturer Daimler in January 2006.
有的此类基金规模甚为庞大。在阿联酋，阿布扎比投资局的资本资产估计达到8750亿美元，使其可能是全世界最大的国有投资公司。在2007年7月，另一支富有的阿联酋基金，“迪拜国际资本”买下了EADS 3%的股份。而此前该基金已于2006年1月买下了汽车生产商戴姆勒公司近2%的股份。
