China Investment Corporation (CIC), founded on 29 September 2007, was established as a vehicle to diversify China's foreign exchange holdings and seek maximum returns for its shareholder within acceptable risk tolerance. Three subsidiaries of CIC—CIC International Co., Ltd. (CIC International), CIC Capital Corporation (CIC Capital) and Central Huijin Investment Ltd. (Central Huijin)—were incorporated separately and function as three distinct entities.

As a financial investor, we are guided by the principle of long-term investment and risk diversification. Driven by research and allocation, our investments are on a commercial basis, with the objective of seeking maximum returns for our shareholder within acceptable risk tolerance, rather than seeking control of the companies in our portfolio. We are a responsible investor, abiding by the laws and regulations of China and recipient counties, and we conscientiously fulfill our corporate social responsibilities.
