Glencore plc is an AngloSwiss multinational commodity trading and mining company with headquarters in Baar, Switzerland, and a registered office in Saint Helier, Jersey.
The Qatar Investment Authority is Qatar's state-owned holding company that can be characterized as a National Wealth Fund. It specializes in domestic and foreign investment

Glencore would be the commodity trading company - so it would be through them.
