The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) is arranging a $7.5 billion bank loan facility to invest in private equity, infrastructure, and real estate assets, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the report, the facility has a one-year tenor, operates on a revolving basis, and includes provisions allowing it to be extended twice for one year each time. Standard Chartered is acting as the sole coordinator, while First Abu Dhabi Bank, HSBC Middle East, and Societe Generale's London branch are serving as initial mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners.
ADIA, First Abu Dhabi Bank, and Standard Chartered declined to comment on the transaction, while HSBC and Societe Generale had not responded to requests for comment.
The sovereign wealth fund, which manages more than $1 trillion, raised the upper limit of its target allocation for private equity from 17% to 20% in its 2025 annual report. In recent years, ADIA has also expanded its activity in private credit, backed specialized asset managers, and launched new investment platforms.
ADIA's 2025 annual report also highlighted growth in its global footprint, including investments in logistics and digital infrastructure platforms across Greater China, alongside large-scale commitments in India. Earlier this year, the fund secured a 3.75 billion Australian dollar ($2.6 billion) loan linked to its Australian infrastructure assets.
