Neotas recognised as a Finalist in the Value Creation Firm of the Year 2025 by Actum Group
London, 15 October 2025
Neotas has been recognised by Actum Group as Value Creation Firm of the Year, marking an important milestone in the firm’s work with private equity and growth investors worldwide.
The recognition reflects a year of sustained impact in helping investors protect and grow value through deeper, technology-enabled due diligence. Over the past twelve months, Neotas’ enhanced due diligence solutions supported more than 400 transactions across 53 jurisdictions, enabling investment teams to uncover ESG, reputational and behavioural risks that traditional checks often miss.
At a time when value creation depends as much on risk intelligence as it does on financial modelling, Neotas has positioned itself as a strategic partner to private equity funds, corporate development teams and advisory firms. By combining advanced open-source intelligence (OSINT), AI-driven analytics and human-led investigations, the firm delivers a nuanced view of management integrity, governance culture and third-party exposure before capital is committed.
“This recognition from Actum Group is a meaningful endorsement of the work our teams do every day,” said a spokesperson from Neotas. “Value creation starts with clarity. When investors understand the people, behaviours and risks behind a transaction, they can move forward with confidence and build sustainable businesses over the long term.”
In the past year, Neotas’ work has helped clients:
– Identify previously undisclosed ESG and reputational red flags
– Assess management credibility and behavioural risk in complex transactions
– Navigate regulatory and geopolitical risk across multiple jurisdictions
– Strengthen post-investment monitoring and governance frameworks
The breadth of jurisdictions covered reflects the increasingly global nature of private equity and the growing need for consistent, high-quality intelligence across borders. From emerging markets to highly regulated environments, Neotas’ platform and investigative teams provided timely insights that shaped deal strategy, pricing decisions and risk mitigation plans.
Actum Group’s Value Creation Firm of the Year category recognises organisations that demonstrably enhance outcomes for investors and portfolio companies. Being shortlisted places Neotas alongside firms at the forefront of modern value creation, where technology, data and governance intersect.
As regulatory scrutiny increases and stakeholder expectations rise, enhanced due diligence is becoming central to responsible investment. Neotas continues to invest in its AI and OSINT capabilities while expanding its global investigative network, with the aim of giving clients earlier, deeper and more actionable insight into the risks that matter most.
The firm sees this recognition not as an endpoint, but as reinforcement of its long-term mission: to help investors make better decisions, protect reputations and build durable value in every transaction.
