Our asset management business has grown over the years, incorporating new strategies and asset classes, attracting high-quality investors to diversify its investor-base, and by hiring new managers. We’ve been careful to approach this growth in the right way: By following a series of principles that have differentiated our business from the rest of the market and by prioritizing quality and results over rapid growth. We put our investors at the heart of what we do. And performance has always been our priority.

We’ve been careful to approach this growth in the right way: By following a series of principles that have differentiated our business from the rest of the market and by prioritizing quality and results over rapid growth

Why we’ve performed well

Over the years, Alantra has prioritized strategies with a fit within our principles:

  • A profound conviction for independence
  • GP commitment; alignment of interest with investors
  • Focus on Europe and mid-market companies with international presence
  • Hands-on and value-add strategies
  • Diversification and focus on alternative assets

This approach to business has generated strong performance for our investors and a wide market recognition. Pan-European EQMC Fund was ranked as #1 global fund on Barron’s Penta’s 2017 ranking with a 3-Yr IRR of 26.2%; we won the best Spanish LBO Fund of the year 2018 in the Private Exchange Awards; and our Private Debt Fund lead the 2018 Spanish hedge funds ranking with a net return of more than 6%, according to Inverco.

The best testament of our commitment to delivering the best results to our investors has been the bonds we’ve created with them. Over the years, we’ve implemented high-performing strategies which have resulted in repeating funds using the same strategies. So, while we continue to grow, our excellent performance has created a demand for successor funds from our investor base which tells its own story:

Four funds launched with a similar philosophy in private equity

    1. Dinamia (1997): Dinamia Capital Privado was the first quoted Private Equity vehicle in the Spanish market
    2. Alantra PEF I (2002): The Group launched its first fund targeted at institutional investors, with €176m in assets under management, which co-invested with Dinamia
