Philosophy
While most major corporations have established their international operations, small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to form the backbone of the global economy. However, many of these organizations lack the internal resources or expertise to fully capitalize on the wide range of strategic opportunities that globalization presents. This market segment is often underserved by large investment banks and strategy consultants, who may not be fully attuned to the unique challenges and needs of internationally minded SMEs.
Aquarian Capital is uniquely positioned to support these businesses, especially in industry segments that are fragmented, characterized by private ownership, or resistant to change. Our team’s deep experience in international operations and strategic planning empowers SMEs to develop flexible strategies and expand their global footprint—key factors for success amid ongoing geopolitical shifts and economic uncertainties.
Strategy
We are committed to aligning with the long-term interests of our clients, helping them develop and execute corporate strategies that are responsive to the opportunities and complexities of globalization. Our support extends to board-level governance and encompasses a full spectrum of growth and development options—including mergers and acquisitions, direct investment, joint ventures, strategic alliances, outsourcing, and organic expansion—always prioritizing the best interests of all stakeholders.
As long-term partners, we highly value integrity, creativity, openness, mutual trust, and commercial discipline. We work selectively with clients who share these values and ensure that there is no direct competition among our clients or partnerships.
Our clients are typically small- to medium-sized, privately owned companies, often without a significant international presence and operating in industries facing intense or rapidly evolving global competition. We help these organizations establish and expand their international operations, optimize cost structures, access new markets, and enhance innovation and R&D capabilities.
We also work with innovative, growth-oriented companies from around the world that aspire to build or strengthen their global presence. Our team assists these clients in developing international growth strategies and roadmaps, enabling them to achieve sustainable expansion and realize their potential as world-class enterprises.
Our network of partners includes a diverse group of reputable financial and strategic investors who share our vision and are committed to adding value to the growth and success of our clients’ businesses. By leveraging our global perspective and expertise, we empower organizations to build flexible strategies and robust global footprints—essential for navigating today’s shifting geopolitical and economic landscape.
