LEADING PRIVATE EQUITY PLACEMENT ADVISORY FIRM

About Athos

Our Approach

Reduced fundraising time and significant capital contribution from highly regarded Limited Partners.

Insight

Based on a highly focused placement approach, we distinguish ourselves by our in‐depth knowledge of our clients’ propositions and their markets. This allows us to act as a virtual extension of the fund manager. In consequence, we are able to interact with investors in a more detailed and effective manner, whilst our clients can keep their attention on making and managing investments.

COMPETENCE

We have successfully advised both well established and emerging managers and tailor our services to each client’s specific requirements. The entire team is fully active on each transaction and fully dedicated to all aspects of the fundraising process, from drafting documentation, interacting with investors up to coordinating legal advisers at closure.

DEDICATION

We partner with a select number of clients each year and have a preference for highly differentiated propositions in situations where our team can add significant value in the different stages of the fundraising processes. Our firm is fully owned by its partners, ensuring complete dedication and alignment of interests.

REACH

Our team has well-established and longstanding relationships with leading institutional investors worldwide, including asset managers, banks, family offices, funds of funds, public bodies, insurance companies, investments trusts and pension funds.

Fully dedicated
and Deeply involved team

We were very pleased working with Athos Partners for a third consecutive time - Ceder III was closed at hardcap in a first and final close despite an overall challenging fundraising environment. As before, Athos assisted us with a high degree of professionalism and executed an very efficient process.

We are pleased with the Athos team’s dedicated support in successfully positioning Standout Capital and broadening our international LP base which helped us reaching our hard cap.

Athos Partners has been instrumental in helping us raise Connected Capital II (3x the size of Connected Capital I). Athos runs a best-in-class fundraising process which continued seamlessly also in the middle of the COVID pandemic. More importantly however, the Athos team has added significant value to us by providing tailored high-quality advice and deep professional expertise. We look forward to a continued partnership with them.

We were once again very pleased to work with Athos Partners on our fundraising of Elvaston Capital V. Despite the still on-going COVID fundraising constraints and our fund size increase, we were able to close at hard cap within three months from first digital meeting in a heavily oversubscribed fundraising. We achieved our goals of further adding highly regarded institutional investors in a very short and efficient fundraising process.

Dr. Oliver Thum and Dr. Thomas KeulPartners, Elvaston Capital

We highly valued Athos for their professional and efficient approach. Their thorough understanding of our requirements greatly helped in selecting the right investors for us.

We enjoyed working with Athos Partners again after they successfully raised our previous fund, Elvaston Capital III in 2017. Their expertise and advice were instrumental in helping us exceed our hard-cap once again for Elvaston Capital IV, all whilst completing the fundraising in a timely manner of approximately 6 months.

Dr. Oliver ThumPartner, Elvaston Capital

The Athos-Team did an excellent job positioning the fund in light of our complex fund history. We highly valued their exceptional commitment and senior attention throughout the whole process.

Our long-term relationship with Athos Partners was very important to be able to reach our target for our sixth fund.
