Private equity investments and advisory.

Founded in 2020, ANTARES AG is a Swiss company. We bring together capital, commercial thinking and the people needed to develop businesses and projects.

Our ambition extends beyond financial results to what remains useful, who benefits and what others can build upon.

Our name

Part of a larger picture

At the heart of Scorpius shines Antares, distinguished by its warm, reddish light. It has a character of its own, yet we recognise it within a larger constellation. That relationship gives our name its meaning.

A constellation takes shape when we connect its points. Human endeavour is much the same: one person can see a possibility, but bringing it to life draws on the knowledge, effort and imagination of others. Together, we can reach further.

For ANTARES, that is an ambition worth carrying in our name: to retain our own character while contributing to something larger. To look beyond what we gain to what we make possible for the people alongside us and those who come after.
