Aurelius is a global alternative investor with offices in Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Luxembourg, Malta, Milan, Munich, New York, and Stockholm.[1] The company focuses on private equity, private debt and real estate investments.

History

In 2005, Dirk Markus and Gert Purkert, both former McKinsey consultants, founded Aurelius as a privately held investment vehicle with a start-up capital of €500,000, investing in small- and medium-sized companies.

In 2006, Aurelius AG was listed in the Open Market segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The company was converted into an SE & Co. KGaA in 2015, and withdrew from the stock exchange at the end of 2023. It was renamed AUR Portfolio III SE & Co- KGaA at the end of 2024.

Funds

In April 2021, Aurelius launched AURELIUS Opportunities Fund IV, a more than €500 million investment fund specializing in complex corporate carve-outs and operational transformation.[2] Its investors include US and European university endowments, pension funds, insurance companies and family offices.[3]

AURELIUS Opportunities Fund V followed in June 2025 with €830m in committed capital. It pursues the same investment strategy as Fund IV and has largely the same investors.[4]
