what happened

Apollo Global Management is acquiring a minority interest in the alternative investments arm of Mubadala and will channel capital into its investment strategies. Mubadala Capital, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi wealth fund, said so in a statement on Monday. The US investment firm is thereby broadening its relationship with the sovereign fund.

Under the terms, Apollo and other strategic investors, who will also become minority shareholders, expect to commit a total of $5 billion to Mubadala Capital's strategies at the initial closing.

why it matters

The deal strengthens Apollo's ties with Abu Dhabi investors and shows that large institutional capital keeps flowing into alternative investments. For the broader market it is a signal of investor appetite for private assets, while the direct effect on share prices is limited.
