TWG Global Buys Minority Stake in Mubadala Capital
TWG Global, a holding company led by investors Mark Walter and Thomas Tull, and Mubadala Capital, the asset management subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company, have entered into a multi-billion-dollar collaboration enabling each organisation to enhance investments across multiple sectors and asset classes to drive long-term value creation.
This landmark collaboration between leading investor TWG and sovereign-backed global asset manager Mubadala Capital comes amid increasing investor interest in a wide variety of alternative asset classes and cross-border investment opportunities.
Leveraging shared expertise, resources, and vision, TWG and Mubadala Capital will uniquely position both to access high-potential opportunities across sectors and geographies. Under this strategic investment alliance and as part of TWG’s $15 billion equity raise, Mubadala Capital will anchor and lead a $10 billion syndicated investment in TWG Global.
Proceeds from the TWG raise will be used by TWG to capitalise on its attractive set of proprietary investment opportunities. TWG will commit $2.5 billion to Mubadala Capital products and acquire a strategic minority stake in the asset manager, with an aim to increase commitments from itself, its partners and clients of up to another $20 billion investment capital over time, reinforcing the long-term, strategic alignment between both firms.
