These include industrial enterprises, chemicals, information technology, business services, lifestyle brands, consumer goods, food and beverage, and the telecommunications, media, and technology (TMT) industries. Its geographic focus is exclusively on European-headquartered companies, with a particular emphasis on developed European markets and the Nordic region. The firm typically commits up to €250 million in total, with individual deal investments ranging from €5 million to €80 million.

For UK-based businesses, AURELIUS is prepared to invest up to £70 million in entities with revenues spanning £30 million to £1,000 million. AURELIUS primarily seeks to acquire a majority stake, ideally 100% ownership, in its target companies, predominantly through equity investments. Exit strategies for its investments include sales to private, institutional, or industrial buyers, or via an Initial Public Offering (IPO).
