6 ABOUT RDIF INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS ABOUT RDIF The Russian Direct Investment Fund is a $10 billion fund established to make equity investments primarily in the Russian economy. RDIF was created in 2011 under the leadership of the President and Prime Minister of Russia to co-invest alongside top global investors, acting as a catalyst for direct investment in Russia. Since inception the fund has invested $3.8 billion into leading Russian companies, of which over $900 million were invested by RDIF and $2.9 billion came from international co-investors. RDIF also attracted over $10 billion of foreign capital into the Russian economy through long-term strategic partnerships. The idea of RDIF is unique. Many private equity funds are established every day but there is only one fund in the world where a country says: I am sending $10 billion and welcome anyone who would like to partner with me on good terms this is the only fund we have seen on these terms. Bader M. Al-Sa ad, Managing Director, Kuwait Investment Authority Given the track record and caliber of the RDIF team we are confident that our collaboration will deliver long-term financial returns and development opportunities. Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chief Executive Officer, Mubadala RDIF is a great opportunity to wake up people who were not engaged in the market and were cautious about it. Stephen Schwarzman, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Blackstone Group Creation of RDIF is a very interesting step and a great model together with a team that was created - TPG will definitely work with them.
