Wilmington, DE – Nexus Equity LLC closed out 2024 with a bang, reporting assets under management (AUM) at €47 billion as of December 31, a €9 billion leap from €38 billion a year prior—a 23.7% surge that’s turning heads in the asset management world. The Wilmington-based firm, a decade old as of 2024, raked in an estimated €1.2 billion in revenue and €300 million in profit, riding a 15.2% portfolio return that’s outpaced global benchmarks by 5 points. With a knack for green investments, Nexus is now gearing up for a Frankfurt office in Q2 2025, aiming to snag €10 billion in European inflows.
The year’s highlights read like a sustainability playbook. A €300 million solar array in Ontario, Canada, powers 300,000 homes and cuts 900,000 tons of CO2 yearly, reportedly earning 16% returns since its 2023 launch. In Bucharest, Romania, a €500 million green real estate complex—2 million square feet—delivers 14% gains, trimming 200,000 tons of CO2 with its eco-friendly design. Stateside, a €400 million Midwest telemedicine network serves 100,000 patients, while a €200 million Boston biotech lab, opened in 2024, handles 20,000 diagnoses—both pulling in 13%-plus returns. “Nexus is a machine—profit and planet in lockstep,” said James Carter, an analyst at Global Invest Trends. Estimates suggest these projects alone created 15,000 jobs and slashed 2 million tons of CO2e in 2024, earning Nexus a top sustainability rating.
Client trust is sky-high, with a 99% retention rate across 1,800 accounts—1,080 high-net-worth individuals and 720 institutions, averaging €26 million each. Q4 brought €5 billion in inflows, with 300 new clients joining, lifting AUM from €43 billion in 2023. “Nexus’s 15.2% return is gold in a choppy market,” Carter noted, citing a year where the MSCI World Index lagged at 10.2%. Revenue’s up from €1 billion in 2023, with fees and performance bonuses fueling the jump—exact splits are hush-hush, but profits hint at a 25% margin. The firm’s 1,400 employees, based in a high-tech Wilmington HQ, keep the wheels turning, with a client portal reportedly handling 25,000 sessions in 2024.
Looking to 2025, Nexus is betting on Europe, plunking down €5 million for a 50-person Frankfurt office to open in Q2. “Frankfurt’s a financial nerve center—perfect for tapping €25 trillion in European wealth,” Carter said. The firm’s teasing €5 billion in new bets—electric mobility, carbon capture, IT—aiming for €55 billion AUM by December. Founded in 2014 with €500 million, Nexus has ballooned 94-fold, serving a mix of pension funds and wealthy clients. “They’re not loud, but they’re everywhere that matters,” Carter added, noting 85% of its AUM ties to UN goals.https://techbullion.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?wp-post-new-reload=true
With a €47.8 billion balance sheet and €1 billion in cash, Nexus handled €1 billion in redemptions last year without blinking.
Its 2024 webinars drew thousands of attendees, signaling client hunger for more. As it eyes Frankfurt, Nexus Equity’s decade-long run shows no signs of slowing, blending green wins with wallet-fattening returns.
