Company history
Allianz made its first investments in indirect private equity in 1985 from its principal investment division. Further to encouraging results the firm decided in 2001 to implement a comprehensive “build” strategy, aiming at providing Allianz Group companies as well as Allianz clients with access to consistently well researched and carefully selected investment opportunities through investment teams in Munich, Milan, New York, Paris and Singapore.
Following the successful completion of over $ 7bn in primary, secondary funds as well as in co-investments, Allianz decided in 2008 to formally combine the activities of all offices under the common brand: Allianz Private Equity Partners (“APEP”).
The combined firm now employs a global staff of almost 80 people, making it one of the largest dedicated indirect private equity investors world-wide.
