Dispute Divides Leadership at Secretive Kuwait Investment Authority

A struggle for control has exposed deep divisions at the Kuwait Investment Authority, one of the world’s richest and most secretive sovereign-wealth funds.

The KIA, as it is known, last week fired Saleh Al-Ateeqi, the chief executive of its London investment arm. The former McKinsey & Co. consultant joined in 2018 and presided over more than $200 billion of the fund’s money.
