Akina Partners

What is Akina Partners?

Akina Partners was an investment firm known for providing investment opportunities within European private equity, with a particular focus on small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Based in Zurich, Switzerland, and with an additional presence in Luxembourg, they targeted businesses that demonstrated significant growth potential.

Their strategic approach often involved seeking out undervalued and niche-market companies that could benefit from active management and capital influx to spur development and expansion. Akina Partners' commitment to fostering growth in Europe’s SME sector was reflected in their selection of investments, where they were known for deploying a hands-on and value-added investment approach.

Their expert teams would deeply engage with portfolio companies, building synergy and driving performance through operational improvements, market expansion, and strategic mergers.

Recently, Akina Partners merged with the Unigestion private equity business.

This merger brought together Akina Partners' comprehensive experience and network within the European SME market with Unigestion's wide-ranging investment platform, aiming to create a robust, diversified private equity offering with enhanced global reach and resources. Together, they continue the legacy of Akina Partners by focusing on direct investments, secondary investments, and primary fund investments, all underpinned by a rigorous risk management strategy that strives to deliver consistent, superior returns for investors.

Due to the merger, the independent entity of Akina Partners as it once stood may no longer have an active website but rather be integrated into the Unigestion corporate website, which now details their combined investment strategy and services.
