Altamir (LTA) invests in and alongside European and global funds managed by private equity specialists, Apax Partners, whose approach is differentiated by sector specialisation – key in gaining insight and creating a wide network to facilitate transactions. Relatively concentrated company exposures demonstrate conviction in investment selections but the portfolio is well spread by sector and vintage. Altamir reported a 19.1% NAV increase in 2015 and has delivered NAV total returns ahead of the LPX Europe index over one, three, five and 10 years while the 10-year average valuation uplift on realisations of over 40% supports the contention that portfolio valuations are conservative. A wide discount to NAV and the 5.4% yield are further points for potential investors to consider.
