Apollo Global Management is taking a minority stake in Mubadala Capital, the alternative-asset arm of Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, according to Semafor and the Financial Times. Semafor reports that Apollo, alongside others, will commit $5 billion across Mubadala Capital’s investment strategies and joins Silver Rock as a backer. The Financial Times says the investment comes 18 months after a separate stake deal announced by Mark Walter’s holding company TWG, which was never completed. CNBC reported that Apollo would buy nearly 10 percent, and Bloomberg, citing CNBC, described the deal as pending.
