ACE Investment Partners Ltd.

What they do

Founded in 2005 and FINMA-authorized since 2017, ACE & Company is a global private investment platform specializing in direct investments, co-investments, and secondaries. The firm operates three core strategies: Secondaries, Buyouts (co-investing alongside top-performing GPs in the lower mid-market), and Ventures. In 2024, the firm rebranded its early-stage practice as "ACE Ventures," a dedicated arm led by former operators and engineers focused on backing outlier founders, particularly within the Swiss tech ecosystem. ACE is known for its agility, deep global network, and an information advantage built on decades-long relationships with industry leaders, allowing it to deliver highly differentiated returns.

What they look for

ACE & Company aims to drive returns by managing risks and strategically adjusting investment exposure to the stage of a company’s development. Their venture arm, ACE Ventures, focuses on empowering "outliers" who disrupt the norm and challenge the status quo. The buyout strategy focuses on actively managing a private equity portfolio by co-investing alongside top-performing GPs in their core areas of expertise.
