Mubadala Capital Seeks to Double Third-Party Funds to $6 Billion

Rolls-Royce awarded a unit of Mubadala Investment, Sanad Aerotech, a $6.5 billion contract to service engines that power the Airbus SE A330 jetliner.

(Bloomberg) –Mubadala Capital, the investment arm of the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, is seeking to double the assets it manages for third-party investors.

The unit, which currently manages $25 billion of its own and external capital, plans to boost that amount to $40 billion “over the medium-term horizon,” Al Muhairi said. Of that, 15% — or about $6 billion — is expected to come from other institutional investors, almost doubling the $3.4 billion of third-party capital it currently manages.
