The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) claims that there will still be investment opportunities in the UK post-Brexit, according to the head of the Gulf Arab state’s sovereign wealth fund.
The QIA is one of the highest profile investors in London, owning landmarks such as the Shard skyscraper, Harrods department store and Olympic Village, as well as luxury hotels.
It has also sought to diversify its UK investments beyond real estate, including buying stakes in retailer J Sainsbury Plc and London Heathrow airport.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Saud al-Thani told an investment conference in London: “I am still looking, even after Brexit there will be opportunities QIA can really hunt for.
“Our aim now in the future is really to focus on infrastructure, and we will be focusing also on healthcare and IT.”
