Wafra has agreed to increase its ownership stake in Ardian, a private investment firm with $200 billion in assets under management, building on its initial strategic investment in November 2025.
The investment is being made through Wafra’s Strategic Partnerships funds, which acquire minority interests in alternative asset management firms. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close between late 2026 and early 2027.
Wafra did not disclose the size of the additional investment or its resulting ownership interest in Ardian.
