investing globally
With the idea that disrupting the world of private equity would not only be possible; but have the potential to create remarkable outcomes, Gabriel Fitzgerald founded Fidelio in 2010. By marrying the professional and active ownership model of traditional private equity, with a truly entrepreneurial, global and long-term perspective, Fidelio would aim for value creation in all ways possible, instead of being limited by outside constraints.
Today, we believe it’s fair to say that the original idea has lived up to its promise.
Since inception, the team at Fidelio has invested in almost 200 companies in around 20 countries across the world. We currently invest under our third mandate, with approximately EUR 1.1 billion in capital. Fidelio operates from offices in Stockholm and London.
Our success stems from partnering with entrepreneurs, management teams and fellow co-owners. Together, we build outstanding business through creativity, grit and the possibilities that come from not having a pre-determined investment horizon, size restrictions or geographic fences.
Everyone claims to be special. But we like to think that we really are. Let us summarize what we mean when we say that.

We’re not fans of one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we like to roll up our sleeves and get involved in the unique strategic matters that truly make a difference for each of our businesses.

We think of ourselves as entrepreneurs and enablers, first and foremost. That’s why we always put our own money into our investments. By having skin in the game, we make sure our goals are perfectly aligned with the companies we support, fostering a shared journey towards success.
We want to invest in businesses where we can add tangible value as an enabling partner to entrepreneurs, management teams and fellow co-owners with significant growth ambitions.
Together, we can and will go wherever the greatest opportunities lie.
