What Mubadala does
Mubadala Investment Company is a sovereign investor wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi, managing approximately $385 billion in assets under management as of 2025. The firm invests across more than 50 markets globally through four core platforms: UAE Investments, Private Equity, and Credit & Special Situations and Real Assets, supported by Mubadala Capital, its dedicated asset management arm with approximately $30 billion in AUM (roughly two-thirds from third-party limited partners). It is rated AA/Aa2 and has raised approximately $30.5 billion in capital markets since 2021, deploying AED 143 billion (~$39 billion) in 2025 alone, with rolling 5-year and 10-year annualized returns of 10.7% and 8.5% respectively.
The portfolio spans semiconductors and AI (G42, MGX, Core42), energy transition (Masdar, 32.6 GW operational portfolio), aerospace (Strata), healthcare and life sciences (M42, Mubadala Bio, Abu Dhabi Stem Cells), real assets, private credit, and hedge funds (Fortress, acquired 90.01% in 2024 for ~$2 billion). Mubadala's investment model combines direct principal deals, fund-of-funds and co-investments with leading GPs, and third-party asset management through Mubadala Capital, with notable recent co-investments including a $1.9 billion participation in the $12.3 billion Intertek take-private alongside EQT and ADIA (June 2026) and a $325 million commitment to Hornsea 3 offshore wind (May 2026).
The firm's business model is dual-track: a sovereign balance sheet pursuing long-duration national-champion strategies (UAE diversification, energy transition, frontier tech) and a fee-generating third-party asset management franchise. Strategic positioning has been reshaped by the 2024 launch of MGX, a dedicated AI investment vehicle co-founded with G42, and by the April 2026 L'imad plan to consolidate Mubadala with other Abu Dhabi state vehicles into a single mega-fund, both of which materially expand the firm's investable footprint and strategic optionality.

- GIC (Singapore): GIC is Singapore's sovereign wealth fund managing well over US$700 billion across public equities, fixed income, private equity and real estate globally.
