“We look forward to working alongside Goldman Sachs to unlock new opportunities throughout the Asia Pacific region, a leading driver of global economic growth. India, in particular, stands out as a key market with significant opportunities in private credit, and where Goldman Sachs has strong exposure and capabilities.”
This mandate will enable both firms to continue scaling their investment activity in the large and growing Asia Pacific credit market. The partnership will aim to deploy $1 billion of long-term capital, offering customized private credit solutions to high-quality companies and sponsors throughout the Asia Pacific region. The partnership will invest across the private credit spectrum and is expected to invest across multiple Asia Pacific markets with a particular focus on India.

This partnership with Goldman Sachs compliments our aspirations to grow our private credit exposure in APAC, a region that is central to Mubadala’s strategic growth initiatives.”
“This partnership bolsters the expansion of our Asia Credit platform and investment in new opportunities across the Asia Pacific region where bespoke credit solutions are needed. We continue to believe our rigorous underwriting and dedicated on-the-ground sourcing provides us differentiated investment opportunities,” commented Marc Nachmann, Global Head of Asset and Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs.
