AURELIUS Private Equity Mid-Market is currently investing from AURELIUS European Opportunities IV, which was raised in 2021 to back small- to medium-sized enterprises with operational potential in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and North America. Capital available for this strategy amounts to EUR 540m, comprised of EUR 380m from a diverse group of institutional investors, including prestigious US and European university endowments, pension funds, insurance companies and family offices, and EUR 160m of co-investment from AUR Portfolio III.

In June 2025, AURELIUS successfully closed AURELIUS Opportunities V (“Fund V”) following a significantly oversubscribed process. Given high demand, AURELIUS capped the size of Fund V to maintain investment discipline and preserve the exceptional performance record built over the last 20 years. AURELIUS has a new capital pool of EUR 830m available.

AURELIUS Private Equity Mid-Market specialises in corporate carve-outs, platform build-ups and complex buy-out situations for established companies with annual revenues of at least EUR 100 million.

AURELIUS WaterRise is a key differentiator which drives real results. The team comprises over 180 in-house specialists who support the operational development and drive growth of the portfolio companies. Post-acquisition the team pursues an operational approach to accelerate transformation and growth, typically employing relatively low levels of leverage. The AURELIUS portfolio benefits from WaterRise and the AUROM (AURelius Operating Model), a flexible framework which supports the transformation of sluggish corporate units into agile independent companies.
