Mubadala Investment Company reported a 17 per cent increase in assets under management, reaching USD 385 billion in 2025, supported by strong domestic and global portfolio performance. The fund continues to play a key role in diversifying the United Arab Emirates economy beyond hydrocarbons. With 44 per cent exposure to the United States and nearly a quarter invested locally, Mubadala is also expanding its focus on artificial intelligence, robotics, and technology-led sectors while maintaining strong long-term returns above 10 per cent.

The Abu Dhabi-based sovereign wealth fund attributed the growth largely to the performance of its investments within the United Arab Emirates, where it continues to maintain a significant presence. Nearly a quarter of its total investments are allocated within the domestic market, reflecting its ongoing role in supporting national economic priorities.
Managing Director and Group CEO Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak stated that the fund's performance reflects its long-term strategy of investing in key growth sectors both within the UAE and globally. He indicated that consistent portfolio performance over the past five and ten years has helped the organisation remain resilient and well-positioned to manage ongoing regional and global economic challenges.
The fund reported annualised returns exceeding 10 per cent over both five- and ten-year periods. Capital deployment increased by 20 per cent year-on-year to 143 billion dirhams, while proceeds rose by 27 per cent to 138 billion dirhams, indicating active portfolio management and monetisation.
Mubadala, along with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and L'Imad Holding, continues to play a key role in supporting Abu Dhabi's efforts to diversify its economy away from hydrocarbons. This strategy has gained importance over the past decade as the emirate increases investments in non-oil sectors.
Internationally, the United States remained the largest exposure in Mubadala's portfolio, accounting for 44 per cent of total investments. The fund has steadily increased its presence in global markets over the years, with a focus on stable and high-growth sectors.
Mubadala is also strengthening its focus on future-oriented sectors such as artificial intelligence and robotics, identifying them as major drivers of industrial growth. In recent years, it has expanded its technology portfolio by investing in areas including semiconductors, data centres, and AI infrastructure.
As part of its domestic investment strategy, the fund recently increased its shareholding in Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi's largest listed real estate developer, indicating continued confidence in the local real estate market.
In terms of asset allocation, private investments accounted for 42 per cent of the portfolio, followed by public investments at 20 per cent. Real estate and infrastructure together made up 17 per cent, highlighting the fund's continued exposure to core physical assets alongside its growing focus on technology-led sectors.
