OUR Strategy

Generating Sustainable,
Risk-Adjusted Returns while leveraging Mubadala

Mubadala Capital’s activities are premised on generating attractive risk-adjusted returns by combining the benefits of Mubadala’s sovereign ownership, whether through:

  • Sourcing opportunities;
  • The ability to leverage resources during diligence; or
  • Value creation as an owner.


These benefits are combined with highly focused investment strategies and well-aligned and motivated teams. A disciplined and robust investment process focused on capital preservation and downside protection underpins all of our investment activities.

In addition, Mubadala’s support and commitment allows Mubadala Capital to operate with a competitive advantage as we operate with the strategic and financial support of a c. $280 billion sovereign wealth fund which includes proprietary sourcing channels as well as access to seed / anchor capital from our balance sheet.

Some of the benefits of the Mubadala Capital balance sheet include:

  • Investment Team “Always in Market”
    Investment team is never ‘between funds’ and can continuously evaluate opportunities in the market ahead of a fund’s first close
  • Certainty of Execution
    Provides deal certainty to complete transactions
  • Portfolio Construction
    Optionality to better manage risk and concentration limitations for our funds
  • Facilitate Co-investment Opportunities
    Allow investors proper time to conduct diligence and analyze performance after transaction close, as balance sheet capacity allows us to close and hold potential positions
  • Flexible Structuring to Meet Investor Objectives
    Ability to use a variety of structural enhancements in fundraising and monetizing balance sheet assets to create capacity for further building the business
  • Consistent Access to Capital
    Permanent nature of balance sheet can consistently be leveraged, not only on a one-off basis for a single transaction
  • Ability to Strategically make LP Commitments to Key GP Partners
    LP capital available to create partnership opportunities, share knowledge and expertise and generate deal flow
