Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi’s strategic investment arm, posted a 9.5 per cent increase in its asset base last year, driven by investments in future-focused sectors including artificial intelligence, health care and advanced manufacturing.
Mubadala’s total assets under management in 2024 reached Dh1.2 trillion ($326 billion), with annualised returns of 10.1 per cent over five years, the company said on Thursday.
The creation of technology company MGX by the Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology Council, with G42 and Mubadala as founding partners, was the highlight of 2024, said Khaldoon Al Mubarak, managing director and group chief executive of Mubadala.
“Our portfolio has been constructed to navigate market cycles and scale future-focused sectors – from AI and clean energy to life sciences, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing – all aligned with our national priorities,” he said in a statement.
“A growing number of best-in-class investors continued to partner with Mubadala across key geographies and sectors.”
Capital deployed across sectors grew 33.7 per cent on an annual basis to Dh119 billion. Portfolio mix remained broadly consistent compared to last year, with 40 per cent in private equity, 23 per cent in public markets, and 17 per cent in infrastructure and real estate.
“We deployed significant capital across mature and emerging markets, targeting new global value chains and demographic-driven megatrends while reinforcing our presence in key investment destinations,” Mr Al Mubarak said.
Mubadala was the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund investor in 2024, ahead of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, industry specialist Global SWF said in a January report.
Investing on behalf of the Abu Dhabi government, Mubadala is at the centre of the emirate’s efforts to diversify its revenue base and generate income from sources other than oil. Its interests span six continents in multiple sectors and asset classes.
Last month, global investment manager Fortress Investment Group and Mubadala entered into a partnership to invest $1 billion from Mubadala in a range of Fortress’s existing private credit, asset-based lending and real estate strategies alongside Fortress’s existing pools of capital.
Also last month, TWG Global, a holding company led by US billionaires Mark Walter and Thomas Tull, said it will acquire a minority stake in Mubadala Capital, the Abu Dhabi investment company’s asset management subsidiary. As a part of the alliance, TWG is committing $2.5 billion.
Mubadala Capital now manages Dh110.2 billion, two thirds of that on behalf of global investors, and established a Dh3.6 billion partnership with Silver Rock Financial in December.
Last year, Mubadala Capital closed private equity fund IV with total commitments of Dh11.4 billion, surpassing its original target by more than Dh3.6 billion, it said.
Mubadala’s private credit portfolio is Dh73.5 billion, supported by partnerships with Apollo, Ares, Carlyle, Goldman Sachs and KKR.
In the technology sector, MGX, in September last year, co-led a Dh110.2 billion AI infrastructure partnership with Microsoft, BlackRock, GIP, Nvidia and xAI, and invested in companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Databricks.
Mubadala also supported the growth of the life sciences industry in the UAE through acquisitions to support national drug security and address the global need for essential medicines, it said on Thursday.
“We continued to expand in areas where Mubadala has long invested with conviction, ranging from clean energy, health care and life sciences to advanced manufacturing and semiconductors,” Mr Al Mubarak said in Mubadala’s annual review.
Institutions such as Masdar, M42, Emirates Global Aluminium and GlobalFoundries represent the company's long-term approach to value creation, he added.
A conservative “gearing ratio of 7.8 per cent” positions Mubadala well for future investments, said chief financial officer Carlos Obeid.
Tips to stay safe during hot weather
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can increase dehydration.
- Seek cool environments: Use air conditioning, fans, or visit community spaces with climate control.
- Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat. If outside, seek shade and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
- Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose and light-coloured clothing to facilitate heat loss.
- Check on vulnerable people: Regularly check in on elderly neighbours, young children and those with health conditions.
- Home adaptations: Use blinds or curtains to block sunlight, avoid using ovens or stoves, and ventilate living spaces during cooler hours.
- Recognise heat illness: Learn the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, nausea), and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

The flights
Etihad and Emirates fly direct to Kolkata from Dh1,504 and Dh1,450 return including taxes, respectively. The flight takes four hours 30 minutes outbound and 5 hours 30 minute returning.
The trains
Numerous trains link Kolkata and Murshidabad but the daily early morning Hazarduari Express (3’ 52”) is the fastest and most convenient; this service also stops in Plassey. The return train departs Murshidabad late afternoon. Though just about feasible as a day trip, staying overnight is recommended.
The hotels
Mursidabad’s hotels are less than modest but Berhampore, 11km south, offers more accommodation and facilities (and the Hazarduari Express also pauses here). Try Hotel The Fame, with an array of rooms from doubles at Rs1,596/Dh90 to a ‘grand presidential suite’ at Rs7,854/Dh443.

Which honey takes your fancy?
Al Ghaf Honey
The Al Ghaf tree is a local desert tree which bears the harsh summers with drought and high temperatures. From the rich flowers, bees that pollinate this tree can produce delicious red colour honey in June and July each year
Sidr Honey
The Sidr tree is an evergreen tree with long and strong forked branches. The blossom from this tree is called Yabyab, which provides rich food for bees to produce honey in October and November. This honey is the most expensive, but tastiest
Samar Honey
The Samar tree trunk, leaves and blossom contains Barm which is the secret of healing. You can enjoy the best types of honey from this tree every year in May and June. It is an historical witness to the life of the Emirati nation which represents the harsh desert and mountain environments
