Altius Value-Add | Proprietary Research

Altius undertakes substantial and frequent proprietary market research to evaluate the attractiveness of sub-asset classes and identify the best managers therein. It is divided into two types:

1. Ongoing fund manager monitoring and sub-asset class evaluation, incorporating investment opportunity tracking. The team employs a combination of desk research and interviewing, supplemented by an extensive proprietary database of managers and deals, which dates back to company inception.
   
2. In-depth sub-asset class analytical reports, designed to supplement ongoing market monitoring procedures and peer benchmarking work that Altius carries out. Sub-asset classes examined in our stand-alone research reports are outlined below.

Altius conducts such extensive research to make more informed investment decisions. It is Altius' research and experience that has enabled us to provide the best services to our clients, prompting us to underweight or avoid over-hyped markets that have subsequently underperformed (for example European venture).
