AIV Capital

What AIV Capital does

AIV Capital is a privately held, London-based investment firm founded in 2020 that originates and oversees direct private market investments across two core strategies: lower-mid to mid-market private equity buyouts targeting control-oriented transactions with EBITDA of $5M–$75M, and growth-stage venture investments at Series C and beyond. The firm concentrates on eight verticals: pharma services, healthcare services, advanced manufacturing, specialty chemicals, business services, specialist logistics, enterprise software & infrastructure, fintech & embedded finance, and healthtech & consumer platforms, with deal sourcing described as research-led and proactive (evaluating over 300 opportunities annually). AIV Capital's reported portfolio footprint spans 29 private equity and 100+ venture investments, with direct deal flow across Europe, North America, and Asia, and it maintains operational offices in London (headquarters at The Pavilion, W8 4SG, and a registered office on City Road, EC1V 2NX) and Dubai (Aspin Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road).

Revenue mechanics follow the standard private fund model — management fees and performance-related carried interest earned on capital deployed — with no publicly disclosed pricing, AUM, or fund vintages. The firm markets itself through a content-driven institutional channel (insights blog, direct LP outreach via [email protected]) and supplements portfolio support with a proprietary Value Creation Framework (commercial strategy, operational efficiency, governance improvement, bolt-on execution) delivered through 100- and 200-day roadmaps, backed by a core operational partnership with Quantiva for finance, analytics, and execution support across portfolio companies. The team is small (1–10 employees per firmographic data) and Ethan Khatri is the only disclosed Managing Director.
