  • Aquiline has a good blend of senior operating partners who had deep experience in our industry, coupled with smart financial minds and expertise. They also focused on not just the right financial outcome for them, but the right ultimate outcome for the management team and wider staff.

  • I'm not sure if another private equity firm could have bought ERS from IAG in 2013. Aquiline's deep sector knowledge, paired with their partners' hands-on experience in running companies, was key to understanding the value creation thesis and the risk/reward balance in the investment.

    ERS CEO

  • Having spent months researching our space prior to their first call, Aquiline had a very specific plan and theory about what they would like to do to help us recognize greater value. They have done exactly what they said they were going to do, and much more.
