Altas is an investment firm with a long-term orientation, focused on delivering outstanding results through the active ownership of high-quality businesses
Swipe
We are different from many other investors. Founded in 2012, Altas pioneered an approach to private equity investing that recognizes the power of combining a flexible time horizon with an intense focus on value creation.
We appreciate the limitations of traditional private equity and set out to build a firm dedicated to building great businesses, thoughtfully and purposefully, in partnership with outstanding management teams.
As investors, our objective is to generate excellent returns. We do this by being discerning in our choice of businesses, and dedicated in our ownership of them. Each year we evaluate a large number of opportunities to identify one or two that are compelling.
Our objective is to realize on our efforts with each business not when our time is up, but when our work is done. This allows us to make strategic decisions for each business with a view toward significant and sustainable value creation.
We focus on investments from $400 million to $2 billion of equity as we like the combination of quality and opportunity that these businesses can represent.
We invest in high-quality businesses that are hard to replicate and typically enjoy the following characteristics: market leadership, attractive cash flow profile and returns on re-invested capital, and minimal risk of obsolescence.
Today we steward approximately $7 billion of our partners’ capital.
