Lunate announced on January 29, 2026, that His Excellency Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi has been appointed Executive Chairman and Managing Partner, following the conclusion of his tenure as Founding Managing Director and Group CEO of ADQ, as the firm accelerates its global growth strategy.
Lunate leadership appointment follows ADQ tenure
The Lunate leadership appointment comes after Alsuwaidi led ADQ for seven years. During that period, ADQ expanded into one of the world’s largest sovereign investment platforms.
Under his leadership, ADQ’s assets tripled to more than USD 263 billion. Investments spanned energy, infrastructure, healthcare, food and agriculture, transport and logistics, manufacturing, and financial services.
ADQ also expanded its international footprint across six continents. The platform focused on long-term investments and institutional partnerships with global investors and governments.
Lunate leadership appointment aligns with growth plans
Lunate currently manages USD 115 billion in assets under management. The firm operates as a partner-led, independent global investment manager.
As Executive Chairman and Managing Partner, Alsuwaidi will work with Lunate’s partners and board. His mandate includes expanding international operations, strengthening institutional capital relationships, and scaling activity across public and private markets.
Lunate has set a target to more than double its assets under management over the next five years. The firm said the appointment supports its ambition to become a globally leading asset manager.
Focus on governance and institutional scale
Alsuwadi played a central role in shaping ADQ’s governance framework and investment mandate. He oversaw the development of institutional systems designed to support long-term value creation.
Commenting on the transition, Alsuwaidi said building ADQ from inception marked a defining chapter of his career. He added that leading Lunate represents a continuation of the original vision to create a long-term, independent asset management platform.
Lunate’s managing partners said the appointment reflects continuity and long-term planning. They cited Alsuwaidi’s experience in scaling institutions and attracting global capital as critical to the firm’s next phase.
