Mubadala/ADQ Investment Portals: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how institutional and high-net-worth partners access co-investment opportunities in strategic national projects within the United Arab Emirates.

These portals provide access to strategic investment opportunities managed by major sovereign wealth funds in the United Arab Emirates. They serve as a bridge for large-scale capital to participate in projects that align with national interests.

Who it's for

Access to these investment portals is not available to the general public or casual investors. To qualify, you must be an institutional partner or a high-net-worth individual. This means the scheme is designed for entities or persons with significant capital and the professional standing required to engage with sovereign wealth funds.

What you get

Through these portals, you gain the opportunity to participate in co-investment opportunities. These investments are focused on national strategic projects, which are large-scale initiatives designed to support the economic goals and long-term development of the United Arab Emirates. By participating, you align your capital with major national growth drivers.

What it costs you

There is no single entry fee, as the costs involved vary significantly depending on the specific project you are looking at. Because these are high-level strategic investments, you must be prepared for a rigorous due diligence process. This is a deep, detailed investigation into your financial standing, background, and capacity to meet the requirements of the project before any commitment is made.

The catch to know

The most important thing to understand is that these are not retail investment products. You cannot simply sign up like you would for a standard bank account or a small-scale stock purchase. There is a very high barrier to entry, meaning the requirements for capital and professional status are strict and must be fully met to proceed.

How to apply

  1. Confirm that your financial profile meets the criteria for an institutional or high-net-worth partner.
  2. Prepare all necessary documentation to undergo a rigorous due diligence process.
  3. Identify specific national strategic projects that align with your investment goals.
  4. Contact the relevant sovereign wealth fund directly to inquire about available co-investment opportunities.
