In the pursuit of scaling their private credit and alternative investment activities, Mubadala and Goldman Sachs announced a collaboration aimed at deploying US$1 billion of long-term capital to invest in the growing Asia-Pacific credit market.

The partnership focused on offering customized private credit solutions to high-quality companies and sponsors throughout the region.

The diverse and rapidly growing economies of the Asia Pacific region, coupled with increasing private equity deal volumes, significantly drove demand for customized credit solutions from non-traditional lenders.

For Mubadala, this partnership complements its aspirations to grow private credit exposure in the Asia-Pacific region, which was central to Mubadala’s strategic growth initiatives.

By leveraging their combined expertise and resources, the firms are poised to make a substantial impact on the market, particularly in India. This case study highlights the strategic alignment and mutual benefits realized through such a collaborative effort.

Since 2009, Mubadala’s Credit Investments unit has been investing in private debt opportunities, with a focus on direct lending to middle-market and large-cap companies across a variety of industries and asset classes. Geographically, the unit’s focus has primarily been on North America and Europe, but has recently been strengthening its exposure in the rapidly growing Asia Pacific credit market.
