Approach
AURELIUS creates value by providing hands-on operational support to its investments.
Its investment approach is rooted in the belief that sustainable value creation can only be achieved through operational improvements.
AURELIUS strives to realise this vision with a task force comprised of more than 180 specialists who advise and support the investments to enhance their operating performance through operational transformation. The specialist expertise the Operations Advisory brings has proven vital to success in complex situations such as carve-outs or add-on acquisitions as the resource they bring can mitigate the day-to-day complexity typically involved.
AURELIUS is proud of its operational team and the crucial role it plays for success and growth.
