About This Fund
Ansor, a UK-based private equity firm, has successfully closed its second fund, Ansor Fund II, at the hard cap of £250 million, nearly doubling the size of its inaugural fund raised in 2019. The fund was significantly oversubscribed, attracting a carefully curated group of high-quality limited partners, including leading US-based endowments and blue-chip European investors. Ansor Fund II will continue the firm’s strategy of building high-quality assets through rapid “ground-up” buy-and-build consolidation within fast-growing yet fragmented subsectors. The firm targets resilient, EBITDA-positive businesses that can undergo multiple value inflections through its precision-engineered value creation approach. Led by founding partners Edward Ainsworth, Peter Marson, and Peter Strafford, Ansor leverages over 20 years of experience creating businesses from scratch within the UK SME ecosystem. Since transitioning to a private equity model in 2019, the firm has refined its systematic investment approach and expanded its team and tech infrastructure.
