AGI Partners, LLC (“AGI”) is a private investment partnership based in New York City. AGI draws on family capital and select institutions to make direct investments as a principal in special opportunities and private equity. Our approach, primarily as a principal rather than as an asset manager, provides us the flexibility to invest across a broad range of differentiated opportunities and innovative structures for significant value creation. We leverage the expertise and creativity of our team combined with our global network to generate superior risk-adjusted returns for our investors. AGI’s unique C-Suite Partnership works with experienced executives to acquire and build leading companies in the lower middle market. We do so by partnering with strong management teams who care who their capital partner is and who have meaningful economic stakes in the success of their businesses. We work diligently with our management teams to help them formulate strategic, financial, and operational plans that drive growth and enhance profits. On June 19th, 2014, AGI was named Private Equity Firm of the Year at the ACG Champions Awards ceremony held at the Metropolitan Club in New York City.
