About the company
Ardian is a private investment house that raises capital from institutions and high-net-worth individuals to invest in private markets. It operates in five segments—Fund of Funds, Direct Funds, Infrastructure, Private Debt, and Real Estate—earning management fees as a percentage of assets and performance fees when investments exceed targets, and it manages about $166 billion. Fund of Funds builds diversified portfolios of private equity funds; Direct Funds buys stakes in companies (mid- to large-cap buyouts, expansion, and growth); Infrastructure targets assets like toll roads and airports; Private Debt provides financing; Real Estate invests in property. The goal is to grow clients’ assets by giving access to and managing private market investments that are not typically available in public markets, using a long-term, diversified platform across multiple strategies.
