Investment thesis

Agilitas makes transformational private equity investments in European mid-market companies, positioning itself as an operational rather than financial investor. It backs management teams to drive long-term value creation, favouring defensible businesses in regulated or non-discretionary sectors with strong barriers to entry and clear transformation potential. The firm embraces complexity and thinks creatively about carve-outs, geographic expansion and operational improvement. Responsible investing is central: Agilitas treats environmental, social and governance factors as fundamental to its strategy, believing private equity is uniquely positioned to help companies deliver positive societal and environmental impact alongside strong returns.
