About Altana

Altana seeks unique and innovative investment strategies with a low correlation to broader public markets and where it has a competitive edge, typically due to superior information analysis or style of investment.

These niche strategies are often less crowded and overlooked by large managers since capacity is generally constrained.

Altana’s seed investments in new funds and continuing co- investments demonstrate commitment and alignment of interest with investors.

Lee Robinson established Altana in 2010 as his co-investment vehicle.

Today, the Altana team comprises 30 investment professionals in London and Monaco and has built a best-in-class infrastructure for operations, investor relations, and fund accounting alongside regulated service providers.
