The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) has published its 2024 ADIA Review, providing a thorough overview of its activities over the past year and outlook for the year ahead.

The 2024 ADIA Review includes a detailed analysis of market conditions across the many asset classes in which we invest and significant developments within each of our investing departments.

In 2024, global markets were a study in contrasts. Economic, earnings, and technology-related optimism propelled risk assets to their second consecutive year of significant gains, even as geopolitical and structural risks mounted. Against this backdrop, ADIA's diversification, agility and emphasis on total portfolio management enabled it to deliver a strong performance throughout 2024.

In recent years, ADIA has implemented a scientific approach across the organisation and has invested significantly in its in-house quantitative and data analysis capabilities. This has allowed for more dynamic adjustments at the total portfolio level to capitalise on time-bound opportunities, while also enhancing ADIA's ability to capture long-term trends.

As at 31 December 2024, ADIA's 20-year and 30-year annualised rates of return, on a point-to-point basis, were respectively 6.38 and 7.18, compared to 6.48 and 6.88 in 2023.
