Ardian

Overview

Ardian is a limited liability company registered with the SEC since 2004 that operates as a private equity fund manager for institutional clients. Ownership includes foreign entities and individuals. The firm charges both a percentage-of-assets fee and performance-based fees and describes itself as an active ESG investor. Ardian provides portfolio management for investment companies and for pooled investment vehicles and also acts in sponsor and GP/manager roles for pooled vehicles. Ardian is not positioned as a capital allocator to external managers; rather, it runs private funds directly and serves institutional limited partners. The firm's client base and advisory activities indicate a focus on managing pooled private-market vehicles rather than retail or multi-state advisory work.
