Assets under Management (AuM)

Does anyone know the AuM for this investment/sovereign wealth fund?

I think it would be great to include Assets under Management as a category in the summary box (top right section of page) for every investment and sovereign wealth fund. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skikid787 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

@Nelica86: I apologize that it took so long for someone to respond to this. You put a lot of work in here so I'm sorry to let you know but this edit isn't acceptable in this form. We always try to prevent Wikipedia from being used for advertising purposes and I hope you can understand why we avoid rhetoric like "repeatedly voted the world’s most luxurious hotel", "provides a pro-business environment", "goal to provide a mix of talent and infrastructure, in a dynamic environment", and so on.
