Aquiline Capital Partners

Aquiline Capital Partners is a New York-based private equity firm established in 2005, dedicated to investing in businesses across the financial services and technology industries. The firm's investment strategy spans various stages, including growth equity, buyouts, and platform investments, with a keen focus on companies that are driving innovation and transformation within their respective sectors. Their core areas of interest include financial technology, insurance, asset management, banking & credit, and healthcare IT, where they leverage deep sector expertise to identify promising opportunities.

Aquiline employs a sector-focused approach, aiming to partner with management teams to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate growth. The firm manages a substantial capital base, with over $10 billion in assets under management. This significant capital allows Aquiline to undertake large-scale investments, as evidenced by the closing of their Aquiline Financial Services Fund V in 2023 with $2.3 billion in commitments, reinforcing their capacity for substantial deal-making.

The firm typically seeks to make significant equity investments, often acquiring majority or substantial minority stakes in their portfolio companies. A notable example of their investment activity includes a $300 million investment in SageSure, a leading technology-enabled residential property insurance managing general agent, in 2021. This demonstrates their willingness to deploy considerable capital into companies that align with their strategic vision for growth and market leadership. Aquiline is recognized for its collaborative approach, working closely with portfolio company leadership to implement strategic initiatives and achieve long-term value creation.
