AEGIS Hedging Solutions has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Private Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Goldman Sachs Alternatives will invest alongside AEGIS’ existing management team and replace Greenbelt Capital Partners and Baird Capital as the company’s institutional investment partner.
Founded in 2013, AEGIS provides commodity market intelligence, advisory services, technology, data and regulated market infrastructure. The company works with approximately 700 commodity producers and consumers, capital providers and financial counterparties across North America.
AEGIS helps customers manage exposure to changing commodity prices and make commercial decisions involving revenue and risk management. Commodity hedging can involve financial contracts that reduce the impact of unfavorable price movements in energy, metals, agriculture and other markets.
The investment is expected to support further development of AEGIS’ commodity-focused advisory capabilities, artificial intelligence, proprietary data, technology and regulated trading infrastructure.
AEGIS also operates a swap execution facility, which provides a regulated electronic marketplace for certain derivatives transactions. Goldman Sachs Alternatives believes this business can benefit from the continued digitization and electronification of capital markets.
AEGIS will retain its existing leadership team, employees, technology platform and customer relationships following the transaction. Bryan Sansbury will continue serving as CEO.
The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Financial Technology Partners, Kirkland & Ellis and Winstead advised AEGIS. Ardea Partners and Sidley Austin advised Goldman Sachs Alternatives.
