Apollo Deepens Abu Dhabi Ties with Strategic Investment in Mubadala Capital

Apollo will join other minority investors in Mubadala Capital as the Abu Dhabi firm expands its global investment platform.

  • On Monday, Apollo Global Management is finalizing a deal to acquire nearly a 10% stake in Mubadala Capital, the alternative asset manager subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Investment Company.
  • Apollo has spent 15 years building strategic relationships in Abu Dhabi, with the new deal following partnerships established in 2022 and extended two years ago.
  • Mubadala Capital advises over $755 billion in assets, with Apollo's core alternatives business grown to more than $60 billion. "Capital as a moat is a big thing," said one person familiar with the deal.
  • This transaction reverses traditional investment dynamics, with an American firm making a significant direct investment in Abu Dhabi, building on a $2.5 billion joint venture formed in 2023.
  • Under CEO Hani Barhoush, Mubadala Capital aims to advance its growth strategy, with the deal mirroring previous Apollo agreements with Diameter Capital and Motive Partners.
