From inception Altana has sought out unique and innovative investment strategies with a low correlation to broader public markets. We utilise advanced analytical tools and extensive industry experience to identify specialist investment opportunities and evaluate potential outcomes.

These niche strategies are generally less crowded, unloved and overlooked by large managers, giving us a first mover advantage. We were early into digital assets launching Europe’s first crypto fund in 2014, spotted the asymmetric returns in Venezuelan distressed sovereign debt in 2020 and have participated in a number of corporate restructurings, notably in offshore oil & gas.

Altana hires exceptional talent and runs sophisticated strategies yet is small and nimble enough to execute trades in lower-capacity markets where alpha is inherently time and capacity-limited. We provide differentiated alternative return streams that can enhance and optimise portfolios.

Our co-investment philosophy, which lies at the foundation of everything we do, ensures we are always fully aligned with our co-investors.
