Our private equity strategy is centered around businesses that are well established in their niche but could be much more. We look at the broader financial economy and the plumbing behind it for assets that may not be glamorous but are important. As partners, we let those organizations take a more ambitious tack, supporting aggressive growth initiatives and other paths to equity value creation.

We want partners who draw value from our financial services reach, and look for them in business services, software, and healthcare as well as the financial sector.

The private equity team seeks to invest thematically, looking at industry trends and then zeroing in on niches of interest. 

Investments tend to be $50-350 million, either funded all at once or over time. We move quickly and generally do not shy away from tough carve-outs and other complicated transaction types.

Our opportunistic credit strategy is a flexible capital solution focused on primary and secondary middle market opportunities, primarly in North America and Europe. We seek out market inefficiencies and dislocations due to macroeconomic factors, business challenges, complexity, and size.

As investors, we are targeting special situations that exhibit downside protection and preservation of capital with embedded upside optionality.

The credit opportunities team seeks to invest in industries familiar to Aquiline, including financial services and technology, asset-based finance, and healthcare services, in addition to other sectors where we find attractive opportunities and special situations.

Our strength is working in complex situations that require deep industry expertise and the ability to move quickly and provide strategic capital solutions.

Our venture team invests in early and growth-stage technology and services companies with transformative potential for insurance and other financial services sectors. Drawing insights from our portfolio companies and much larger financial institutions in our industry network, we look for promising new technologies matched to the industry’s pain points.

We aim to bend the curve, leveraging our relationships to get entrepreneurs in front of the corporate decisionmakers who can bring step changes as potential clients or partners.

The venture team looks at the bottlenecks and inefficiencies experienced by insurers, asset managers, and other traditional financial institutions to understand market needs and corresponding opportunities for emerging fintech, insuretech, and enterprise technology.

Typical investments range from $3-25 million in companies with at least $1 million in annual recurring revenue. ATG can be the first institutional capital or participate in later rounds as a lead or co-lead investor.
