Mubadala Investment Company said its assets under management rose 17% to Dh1.4tn in 2025, supported by strong domestic investments and steady performance across its global portfolio. Moreover, the sovereign investor reported five-year and ten-year annualised returns of 10.7% and 10.3%, highlighting consistent results despite volatile market conditions.
Capital deployment increased 20% to Dh143bn, while proceeds rose 27% to Dh138bn. Additionally, the figures reflected active portfolio management and a higher pace of exits.
UAE platform supports diversification and jobs
Growth was driven by the UAE investments platform, which remains central to diversification and value creation. Furthermore, the portfolio contributed Dh45bn to GDP, representing 5.7% of Abu Dhabi’s non-oil economy.
It also supported around 98,000 jobs, marking a 51% increase since 2021. Meanwhile, expansion continued across several sectors, including life sciences, renewable energy, real estate, and digital health.
The company advanced major initiatives such as the launch of Mubadala Bio. Additionally, it expanded Abu Dhabi’s financial district on Al Maryah Island, signalling continued investment into long-term strategic assets.
Partnership activity also remained active across healthcare data integration and clean energy development. As a result, the portfolio continued to align with national priorities and future-focused industries.
Global deployment remains elevated
Investment activity reached record levels, with capital committed across North America, Europe, and Asia. Moreover, deployments targeted private credit, infrastructure, healthcare, and technology.
Strategic transactions included a $1bn credit partnership with Fortress. Additionally, the company invested in global education and energy efficiency platforms, while maintaining support for artificial intelligence initiatives through MGX.
“The strength of Mubadala’s performance in 2025 reflects the long-term strategy to invest in key sectors of growth in the UAE and abroad,” said Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, Managing Director and Group CEO. “That strategy and our portfolio performance over the last five and ten years means Mubadala remains resilient and well positioned to weather the current challenges facing the regional and global economy.”
“2025 was another highly active year for Mubadala, with both deployment and proceeds reaching record levels, reflecting the scale and maturity of our investment platform across different asset classes and different geographies thereby contributing to the resilience of our balance sheet,” said Carlos Obeid, Chief Financial Officer. “Importantly, this was achieved while maintaining a robust liquidity position that is built on a consistent access to diversified sources of capital. This discipline provides us with the flexibility to remain resilient in a challenging global environment and to capitalise on opportunities arising from the shifting global economic landscape.”
The company said it continues to focus on multi-year performance metrics. Additionally, it is using rolling internal rate of return figures in place of traditional annual profit disclosures.
