Global Energy Investment Platform

Investment platform
built for unique opportunities.

AAEL Investment Partners offers investors a differentiated investment thesis and a proven track record. The fund is focused on investments across the global energy value chain.

The Firm

Going beyond the traditional private equity fairway.

Crowded capital in U.S. growth and yield assets, coupled with rigid private equity and credit mandates, has created structural and opportunistic dislocations in global energy M&A.

Against this backdrop, AAEL Investment Partners was formed by Bobby Saadati to pursue differentiated opportunities in high quality assets where value is obscured by asset profile, perceived risk, complexity or a limited universe of capital providers.

Led by operators and investors with deep experience across the energy sector, our team has built, operated, and financed energy companies through multiple cycles. That experience shapes how we underwrite — and how we partner after we invest. We focus on cash flowing, mispriced assets across the global energy value chain. We seek businesses and assets that are fundamentally sound, proven across market cycles, and built to withstand changing economic environments.

Our flexible mandate allows us to deploy capital across asset types, geographies and capital structures, with a disciplined focus on capital preservation, yield and risk-adjusted returns.

Our investment team is positioned to capitalize on today's dislocated market by deploying capital flexibly across asset classes within the global energy universe. With a broad mandate, we can pursue intrinsic value across asset types, geographies and capital solutions.
