Investments
Agilitas 2020 Private Equity will follow the same strategy as Agilitas's previous funds. It will focus on mid-market companies across western Europe, within a range of sub-sectors where the firm has built in-depth knowledge over the years. This includes, but is not limited to, high-acuity healthcare, environmental technologies and services, education and essential infrastructure.

The fund intends to follow a highly selective and responsible investment approach, by backing businesses that have a positive impact on society or the environment, with the aim of aligning strong shareholder returns with sustainable, non-financial goals.
