The Full Form of RDIF is Russian Direct Investment Fund.

RDIF uses unique mechanisms to structure projects that attract foreign investments into social sphere, in areas such as healthcare, environments and education.

The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) is Russia’s sovereign wealth fund established in 2011 by the Russian government to make investments in leading companies of high-growth sectors of the Russian economy. Its mandate is to co-invest alongside the world’s largest institutional investors — direct investment funds, sovereign wealth funds and leading companies.

RDIF therefore acts as a catalyst for direct investment in Russia.

RDIF’s reserved capital under management equals $10 billion. RDIF has invested and committed for this purpose 1.7 trillion rubles, of which RDIF alone invested 170 billion rubles and 1.6 trillion rubles came from co-investors, partners and banks. RDIF also attracted over $40 billion of foreign capital into the Russian economy through long-term strategic partnerships.
