Ancala Partners is an experienced and entrepreneurial investor in critical mid-market infrastructure. Our unique approach combines differentiated investment sourcing with active asset management, which enables us to develop assets for the long term to deliver superior value to our investors. We were founded in 2010 as an independent investment manager owned by the partners.
We invest in a broad range of infrastructure subsectors with a focus on assets which have downside protection and strong earnings visibility. We primarily focus on proprietary opportunities which have arisen from unique situations.

Services
We primarily focus on proprietary opportunities which have arisen from unique situations. We undertake detailed research to source these investments. We look to identify overlooked assets whose value is underappreciated or requires work to unlock. We may take a contrarian view to the general market sentiment if the asset has downside protection and can be acquired at an attractive valuation.
Ancala is an active asset manager. We partner with management teams to develop companies, devoting expert attention to strategy, finance and operations, encouraging management to think differently about opportunities and providing specialist capabilities and capital where necessary. Together we develop a business plan to deliver on each portfolio company's full potential, and we then support management in delivering.
Ancala believes that by taking a proactive approach and applying sound practices to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") matters throughout the investment cycle, value can be created for all stakeholders. Integral to this belief is Ancala's firm commitment to investing responsibly and encouraging the highest standards of business conduct and ESG management of portfolio companies and in its own practices.
