Acanthus reason

No one matches us in approach, experience and persistence

1. Leader in European mid-market

Acanthus was established in 1998 with a core focus on raising European mid-market funds.

We have raised over €3 billion in the last 5 years in Europe, the US and Asia. We have raised more European mid-market funds than anyone else in the worst fundraising environment ever.

2. Advisory driven approach

Our deep analytical approach is one of our hallmarks and fits well with increasing investor demand and regulatory requirements.

This results in comprehensive investment grade documentation but just as importantly clients benefit from team coaching and preparation by experienced professionals.

3. Focused marketing

Extensive investor screening by senior professionals is key to targeted fundraising with priority prospects.

We have strong relationships with the investor community, well beyond those of a simple distributor of funds.

4. Owner led, experienced and independent

In these turbulent times, clients feel assured that their fund raising is led by owners. As we only act for a small number of clients at any time, there is a very strong focus on our clients’ objectives. 

Clients receive the strongest level of commitment with an interdisciplinary, experienced and multicultural team.
