AS THE CONTROLLER of Dubai’s commercial and business assets, to say Al Shaibani has his fingers in many pies would be an understatement. The fund’s investment portfolio reads like a who’s who of Dubai business with the likes of Emirates, Emaar Properties, Emirates NBD and SHUAA Capital only the tip of the iceberg. In 2014, the company invested $300 million in a 1.4 per cent minority stake in Africa’s Dangote Cement, and Shaibani indicated the firm was eyeing further opportunities on the continent. Investment Corporation was also expected to complete a deal to increase its 55 per cent stake in Dubai Aerospace Enterprise by the end of 2014.
