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.

Access Quality Investments

Mubadala Capital’s CEO and Managing Director Hani Barhoush said that by combining their institutional expertise and capital resources through this unique alignment of interests, they were strengthening our joint abilities to access and scale high-quality investment opportunities globally.

Mark Walter too said that they were excited to deepen his company’s relationship with Mubadala Capital, a global leader that shares their long-term investment philosophy and commitment to excellence.

The convergence of business and new technology is creating unprecedented investment opportunities. This collaboration enhances TWG’s ability to capitalise on that opportunity set and provide the company with additional access to world-class investment strategies, he said.

TWG offers deep industry expertise and an extensive global network with a diverse portfolio spanning financial services, insurance, AI, technology, sports/media/entertainment, and energy. Mubadala Capital, with a robust alternatives platform, continues to expand its strategic partnerships with leading global investors and strengthen its position as a leading global asset manager.

Thomas Tull remarked that partnering with Mubadala Capital enable them to access outstanding investment opportunities that demand both visionary insight and substantial resources. This collaboration unites the right expertise and capital to invest in ideas with the potential to shape the future, he added.
