CIC is committed to being a prudent, professional and responsible institutional investor operating globally with good reputation. Four principles underlie our investment activities:

We invest on a commercial basis. Our objective is to seek maximum returns for our shareholder within acceptable risk tolerance.

We are a financial investor and do not seek control of the companies in our portfolio.

We are a responsible investor, abiding by the laws and regulations of China and recipient countries and conscientiously fulfilling our corporate social responsibilities.

We pursue investments based on in-depth research within our asset allocation framework to ensure a prudent and disciplined decision-making process.

In line with its mandate for overseas investment and drawing on best practices of leading peers, CIC has developed total portfolio management philosophies suited to the operations of a large institutional investor:

Long-Term Investment: CIC emphasizes viewing the market and investments from a long-term perspective, aiming to achieve reasonable long-term returns through mechanisms of corporate governance, asset allocation, performance evaluation, etc.

Diversified Investment: CIC builds balanced and resilient portfolios through diversified asset allocation for better risk-adjusted returns.

Financial Investment: CIC focuses on the core value and long-term growth potential of portfolio companies, without seeking control or direct involvement in operations.

Sustainable Investment: CIC aims to advance the long-term and sustainable development of the global economy and actively fulfill corporate social responsibilities, generating both economic returns and societal benefits.
