Mubadala Investment Company announced on April 9 that its assets under management rose by 17% to $385 billion in 2025. The company has credited the strong performance of its portfolio in the United Arab Emirates for its growth last year.
Mubadala is one of the largest sovereign wealth funds globally and is based in Abu Dhabi. This achievement comes after last year, when US investments accounted for 44% of Mubadala's portfolio, the largest proportion globally.
In line with this achievement, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, managing director and group CEO, said, “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. That strategy and our portfolio performance over the last five and ten years mean Mubadala remains resilient and well positioned to weather the current challenges facing the regional and global economy.”
The company explains that its annual five- and 10-year rates of return exceeded 10%. In 2025, the capital deployment also increased by 20% to 143 billion dirhams. The proceeds rose by 27% to 138 billion dirhams.
Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and L'Imad Holding play a major role in supporting efforts to expand the UAE economy beyond its dependence on hydrocarbons. Notably, L'Imad Holding is the oil-rich emirate's newest sovereign investment fund.
For the past few years, Mubadala has expanded its technology portfolio by taking stakes in companies across data centres, semiconductors, and AI infrastructure. It also expanded its shareholding in Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi's biggest real estate developer.
The new assets will be used to explore opportunities in artificial intelligence and robotics, as the official statement highlights. Currently, the company sees these sectors as major sources of industrial growth and as guides for future investments.
