About Us | Key Strengths


Experience
Advising and managing portfolios of private equity funds has been Altius’ core business
since inception.

The investment team has over 130 years of private equity experience, which covers multiple markets and different stages of investment over a number of economic cycles. The team also has wide-ranging experience with previous employers including direct buyout investing, mid-market buyout, mergers and acquisitions, restructurings and workouts, secondary transactions and some specialty real estate and energy experience.

Tailored Services
As a specialist independent private equity adviser, Altius customises each portfolio
to meet the needs of individual clients.
This approach complements the open relationship we seek with our clients. It allows us greater flexibility to adapt our services to the changing needs of our clients, while also enabling them to have a more active role in their investments, if desired. At an operational level, we aim to limit the number of our clients so we can continue to provide a high level of personalised services to each one.

Value-added Services
In seeking to provide the best services for our clients, Altius is not afraid to take a view
on an overall investment strategy, sub-market or manager and will always supply
recommendations to its clients.
The Altius team fights on behalf of its clients for meaningful allocations from the best managers’ funds, many of which are often oversubscribed or closed to new investors. Altius has a demonstrable record of success in this respect.

Research Driven
Altius undertakes substantial proprietary market research which is used to identify
and invest with the best private equity managers.
The extensive proprietary market research conducted by Altius combines ongoing fund manager monitoring with continuous in-depth evaluation of sub-asset classes. This focus on in-house research and Altius' independent status enables us to take an unbiased view on a sub-market or manager.

Proprietary Technology
Altius’ unique in-house technology has been specifically developed to
complement the investment process.
Over the years, Altius has, and continues to develop proprietary due diligence techniques, databases and cash flow modelling tools to facilitate the analysis of information, monitoring of investments and ultimately the provision of superior investment recommendations. Altius’ proprietary FIRMS database generates clients’ customised quarterly and annual reports which include sector, geographic and vintage year analyses.
