Mubadala Capital, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi-based sovereign investor Mubadala, has announced a multi-billion-dollar partnership with TWG Global (TWG), a holding company led by prominent investors Mark Walter and Thomas Tull.
In a LinkedIn post, Mubadala Capital stated that it will anchor and lead a $10 billion syndicated investment in TWG Global.
In return, “TWG will commit $2.5 billion to Mubadala Capital products and acquire a strategic minority stake, with a pathway to grow to $20 billion,” the post said.
“As institutional investors increasingly seek differentiated access to complex opportunities, this collaboration creates a powerful platform in both scale and capability,” Mubadala Capital noted.
The LinkedIn post included a joint statement from both investment firms, outlining the rationale and strategic intent behind the partnership.
The collaboration brings together Mubadala Capital's expertise in alternative asset management with TWG’s domain leadership across financial services, insurance, artificial intelligence, technology, sports, media, entertainment, and energy, the statement said.
“By combining our institutional expertise and capital resources through this unique alignment of interests, we are strengthening our joint ability to access and scale high-quality investment opportunities globally,” said Hani Barhoush, Managing Director and CEO of Mubadala Capital.
TWG’s Mark Walter added: “We are excited to deepen our relationship with Mubadala Capital, a global leader that shares our long-term investment philosophy and commitment to excellence. The convergence of business and new technology is creating unprecedented investment opportunities. This collaboration enhances our ability to capitalise on that opportunity set.”
Thomas Tull remarked: “Partnering with Mubadala Capital enables us to access outstanding investment opportunities. This collaboration unites the right expertise and capital to invest in ideas with the potential to shape the future.”
TWG Global operates and invests in businesses with significant untapped potential. With an enterprise value exceeding $40 billion, its portfolio includes Guggenheim Investments, Guggenheim Securities, Group 1001 Insurance, and prominent sports franchises such as the LA Dodgers, LA Lakers, and Chelsea FC.
Mubadala Capital manages over $30 billion in assets, with a team of more than 200 professionals across five offices located in Abu Dhabi, New York, London, San Francisco, and Rio de Janeiro.
Its parent, Mubadala, has assets totalling $330 billion, making it the second-largest sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi, after the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), which manages close to $1 trillion in assets.
“Mubadala Capital aims to be the partner of choice for investors seeking attractive and differentiated risk-adjusted returns across private markets and alternative asset classes,” the statement concluded.
