We are thrilled to have been named one of the Top 50 PE Firms in the Middle Market by Grady Campbell Incorporated for the fourth year in a row!

The Top 50 PE Firms in the Middle Market award, issued by GCI Publishing on 1/21/2025, was based on 2024 activity. Argosy submitted a nomination, and once selected, paid a nominal amount to GCI in connection with using the award logo.
