Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at EIIC?
EIIC is governed by its board of directors and major shareholders, who are members of the Al Nahyan ruling family — most prominently Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The firm does not publicly name an independent CIO or disclose the operational division of investment authority between the board and subsidiary management. Day-to-day decisions at the subsidiary level appear to be delegated to the operating companies' own management teams.
How is EIIC related to National Holding?
EIIC functions as the strategic investment vehicle for National Holding, an Abu Dhabi-based conglomerate. National Holding is the parent entity, and EIIC executes its investment mandate across multiple sectors. The two are effectively a single economic unit, with EIIC serving as the branded investment arm.
Does EIIC participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
EIIC operates primarily through wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — Petromal, Emirates Food Industries, Bloom Holding, and others — rather than committing to third-party funds. The 2023 acquisition of a 7.6% stake in Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank from Mubadala demonstrates the firm also engages in direct secondary-market block trades.
