Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, among the world’s biggest sovereign wealth funds, is curbing reliance on outside fund managers and reducing holdings in developed-world shares in favor of emerging market investments.

The fund counts on external investors to manage about 75 percent of assets, down from 80 percent in 2011, it said in its annual report for last year released today. ADIA, as the fund is known, also reported that 55 percent of its assets are invested in so-called index-replicating strategies, down from 60 percent, as it boosts investments in alternative assets.
