Summary
Apollo's planned minority investment in Mubadala Capital, as reported by GlobalSWF, marks a notable step in a relationship that has previously centered on fund commitments and credit partnerships. By taking an equity position in Mubadala Capital, Apollo moves from being a counterparty to being a direct owner of the platform, which GlobalSWF argues shows that Mubadala Capital cannot be viewed simply as the private equity department of the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund.
