Approach

Athene is the shrewd companion of heroes and the goddess of heroic endeavour.  She is the patroness of courage, strength, inspiration, civilization, arts, law, justice, mathematics, strategy, and wisdom.

The Athene Capital Group (“Athene Capital”) spans private equity, venture capital, growth capital, project finance and private debt.

Athene Capital works closely with its investor partners who are typically UHNWIs, family offices, and institutional investors who take a long term view. The Athene Capital Partnerships serve as vehicles for building diversified portfolios in partnership between the Athene Investor Partners and Athene Capital LLP, the Group’s FCA authorised investment advisor and arranger.  Together we work to facilitate partners’ investments in those private companies across the globe which have the potential to generate high growth and downside protection.
