After leaving the White House Jared Kushner set up an investment advisory firm called Affinity Partners, which is officially registered as A Fin Management. In 2022 the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) invested over $2 billion and in 2023 the United Arab Emirates invested over $200 million and a Qatari entity invested a similar sum.
Kushner’s firm receives millions of dollars in management fees each year for investing these funds on behalf of its clients. Last summer the Wall Street Journal reported that per some officials Saudi Arabia had “agreed to pay Kushner tens of millions in management fees each year—even if he didn’t invest the money.”
Jared Kushner has consistently denied that he has received preferential treatment after serving in the White House or because of his connection to Donald Trump. He repeated this in a recent New York Times story about his work with Affinity Partners.
“No one is ‘giving’ me deals,” said Mr. Kushner, who insisted he was not planning to return to Washington should his father-in-law win the presidency again. “I operate fairly meticulously, and these investments will create a lot of value for the local communities, our partners and our investors.”
Below are highlights from the most recent public disclosure for Kushner’s Affinity Partners along with pdfs of the updated filings, followed by a summary of known investments and upcoming projects.

Kushner’s Affinity Partners is working on several billion-dollar deals in the Balkans
Bloomberg recently reported that Kushner’s Affinity Partners was working on several billion-dollar deals in the Balkans. Affinity Partners has plans to transform Albania’s Sazan Island into a luxury Aman branded eco-resort community and the firm was also looking into renewable energy, data centers and AI projects. Two of the projects involve land controlled by the government which means a deal would have to be finalized with foreign governments.
I found the news on the plans of Affinity Partners to develop a luxury Aman resort of interest because in 2022 I had reported that Aman was a significant tenant of Trump Tower.
Kushner researched potential deals in the Balkans with his friends Asher Abehsera and Ric Grenell who had been U.S. Ambassador to Germany during the Trump administration. Per the New York Times Ric Grenell has said privately that he hopes to be secretary of state in a second Trump administration.
Three known Affinity Partner investment deals
Last month I published an article on the first three deals below that Affinity Partners reportedly invested in or planned to invest in:
- Mosaic (California, USA) – agreement for $200 million investment: The first big investment deal for Jared Kushner’s Affinity partners, reported by Axios, was an agreement to lead the investment in a California-based fintech company called Mosaic that was raising more than $200 million.
- EGYM (Munich, Germany) – led $225 million investment: An article in TechCrunch last year reported that Affinity Partners led the investment of $225 million in a Munich-based smart fitness startup EGYM which plans to do an initial public offering.
- Shlomo Group Auto and Credit Operations (Israel) – $110 million: According to Calcalist Affinity Partners invested $110 million to acquire 15% of Shlomo Group’s auto and credit operations and the money “is intended to expand the Group’s automotive and credit operations in Israel to countries in the Middle East and North Africa.” They note some additional details of the transaction, including that Shlomo is granting Affinity a loan of almost $50 million to finance the $110 million deal.
- Dubizzle – $150 million: This investment in a classified-ads site in the United Arab Emirates was mentioned in this Wall Street Journal article, and was not included in my prior article. More on the deal here.
According the the WSJ reporting from last summer Affinity had “looked at more than 1,000 companies and signed deals with six. Kushner agreed to invest $700 million—about 20% of the fund.”
I also reported on the Abraham Accords Peace Institute nonprofit that Jared Kushner set-up in 2021 and two directors of the nonprofit – Cassidy Luna and Charlton Boyd – who work at Affinity Partners.
