Mubadala Investment Company has announced robust financial results for 2025, highlighting its continued growth, strong returns, and strategic investments across global markets.
The company’s assets under management (AUM) rose by 17% year-on-year, reaching AED1.4 trillion (US$385 billion). Mubadala also delivered solid long-term performance, with annualised returns of 10.7% over five years and 10.3% over ten years, reflecting its disciplined investment strategy.
Managing Director and Group CEO Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak stated that the company’s performance underscores its long-term focus on investing in high-growth sectors both within the UAE and internationally. He emphasized that Mubadala remains resilient and well-positioned to navigate ongoing global economic challenges.
In 2025, Mubadala strengthened its capabilities in artificial intelligence in Abu Dhabi while continuing to invest in initiatives that support the UAE’s vision for economic diversification. The company also reinforced its legacy of building sector-leading businesses over the past 25 years.
Financial activity remained strong throughout the year. Capital deployment increased by 20% to AED143 billion ($39 billion), while proceeds grew by 27% to AED138 billion ($38 billion), reflecting the scale and maturity of its global investment platform.
Chief Financial Officer Carlos Obeid noted that the company maintained a strong liquidity position supported by diversified funding sources. This financial discipline, he said, enables Mubadala to remain flexible and seize opportunities in a shifting global economy.
Mubadala’s UAE Investments platform continued to play a key role in national development, contributing AED45 billion to GDP—equivalent to 5.7% of Abu Dhabi’s non-oil economy.
As part of its long-term investment approach, Mubadala focuses on multi-year performance metrics. Since 2021, the company has reported rolling five-year returns and, more recently, introduced ten-year performance indicators, reflecting its commitment to sustainable value creation.
