Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company is opening up one of its largest credit investment businesses to outside investors for the first time, according to Bloomberg. The initiative is described as a shift from Mubadala’s prior approach of funding the activity internally toward bringing in external institutional capital. The credit business is valued at about $25 billion, making it one of the company’s biggest parts of its investment portfolio. Mubadala’s move comes as demand for alternative lending increases, reflecting investor interest in credit strategies outside traditional banking and public markets. The company’s plan is based on its expectation that it can attract institutional investors to the credit platform once access is opened beyond Mubadala. The outlets reporting on the story frame the decision as an effort to expand capital sources and broaden the base of participants in the credit business. Details about deal structure, terms, or the specific timing of investor onboarding are not provided in the supplied reports.
