据彭博新闻社2020年9月16日报道,阿布扎比主权财富基金日前获得了美国最大的液化天然气(LNG)出口商钱尼尔能源公司5.1%的股份。
阿布扎比投资局在周一提交的一份文件中披露了阿布扎比主权财富基金的持股情况,后者耗资6.15亿美元获得了钱尼尔能源公司的5.1%股份。根据彭博社收集的数据,阿布扎比主权财富基金将是钱尼尔能源公司的第4大股东。
美国称,LNG出口不仅对美国的经济有好处,而且还被视为美国在海外扩大影响力的一种外交政策工具。自从2016年美国开始向海外输送页岩气以来,美国就一跃成为世界上最大的LNG供应国。
总部位于休斯敦的钱尼尔能源公司经营着两家LNG出口厂:位于德克萨斯州的科珀斯克里斯蒂LNG出口厂和位于路易斯安那州的萨宾帕斯LNG出口厂。
根据主权财富基金研究所的数据,阿布扎比投资局拥有近5800亿美元的资产,是世界第三大政府财富基金。

Abu Dhabi Wealth Fund Adds $615MM Cheniere Stake
Abu Dhabi’s main sovereign wealth fund disclosed a 5.1% stake in Cheniere Energy Inc., the largest U.S. exporter of liquefied natural gas.
Abu Dhabi Investment Authority disclosed its holding in a filing dated Monday, giving it an interest in Cheniere valued at $615 million. It’s Cheniere’s fourth-largest shareholder, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The Trump administration has touted LNG exports as more than an economic boon for the U.S., viewing the shipments also as a foreign policy tool for spreading American influence abroad. Since the U.S. began shipping shale gas overseas in 2016, it’s vaulted into the ranks of the world’s top LNG suppliers. Houston-based Cheniere operates two export facilities: Corpus Christi in Texas and Sabine Pass in Louisiana.
ADIA has almost $580 billion in assets and is the world’s third-biggest government wealth fund, according to the SWF Institute.
