Assets at Kushner’s Affinity soar after Gulf cash injection

Assets under management at Jared Kushner’s investment company Affinity Partners jumped 60 percent last year to $4.8 billion, according to a regulatory filing.

The company received a cash injection from Middle East investors, including Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund.

Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, launched the investment firm in 2021 after leaving the White House at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term when he was a senior adviser on the Middle East.

Affinity secured $1.5 billion of extra capital in 2024 from two of its existing investors – Abu Dhabi-based Lunate and sovereign wealth fund Qatar Investment Authority – Kushner told an investment podcast in December.

He said the increased capital would give the fund “more firepower” and had been closed before Trump was re-elected for a second term.

That injection helped lift assets under management to $5 billion by the end of 2024, up from $3 billion the prior year, according to filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission under the company name A Fin Management.

The sole owner of the company is Jared Kushner, the filing said.

Saudi Arabia has invested $2 billion in Affinity Partners, according to congressional investigators.
