DUBAI (Zawya Dow Jones)--Bahrain's Mumtalakat Holding Company, the country's sovereign wealth fund, said Wednesday it has no current plans to increase its stake in U.K.-based sports-car maker McLaren.
"Mumtalakat constantly reviews all of its investments with the aim of enhancing value in its portfolio," it said in an emailed statement. "However, Mumtalakat has no current plans to increase its stake in Mclaren and has made no statement suggesting otherwise".
