ABOUT PRIVATE EQUITY
Understanding the Private Equity asset class.
The fundamentals of Private Equity
Private Equity firms raise capital from institutional investors and use strategies like leveraged buyouts, growth capital, and venture capital to acquire and manage companies.
They actively work to enhance operational efficiency, expand markets, and optimize financial structures in their portfolio companies. The investment is typically held for 5 to 7 years before being sold through an exit strategy like an IPO or sale to another firm or to an industrial. This approach aims to achieve high returns, offering exciting investment opportunities while managing significant risks.

Value creation and the benefits of investing in Private Equity
Investing in Private Equity offers private investors the potential for high returns, historically outperforming public markets, due to the active management and strategic value creation initiatives employed by Private Equity firms.
Investors can access exclusive investment opportunities in private companies, diversifying their portfolios. Private Equity investments involve long-term commitments, promoting sustained growth over short-term market fluctuations.
Additionally, when investors and Private Equity firm interests align and the firm leverages its expertise to enhance company performance, it can lead to significant capital appreciation.

Understanding the J -Curve
The J-curve in private equity refers to the typical cash flow pattern where initial returns are negative due to early investment costs and fees, followed by positive returns as investments mature and exit, creating a "J" shape when plotted over time.
Watch Louis Flamand, our chief investment officer, explain the concept of the J-Curve.

Disclaimer
-The proposed investment is in Private Equity. Neither the capital nor the return is guaranteed. Therefore, the capital is at risk.
-The figures provided are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute a contractual commitment in any way.
-Past performance is not indicative of future results.
-The sequencing of capital calls and distributions is based on historical data and the smoothing effect provided by a fund-of-funds strategy.
-Adverse market conditions may render these assumptions obsolete.
Any entry fees charged by distributors have not been taken into account in the calculations.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Altaroc Private Equity funds invest mainly in securities of unlisted companies.
These securities are not liquid and there is no secondary market to facilitate transactions. The funds may therefore find it difficult to dispose of their holdings at the desired price or within the desired timeframe. In addition, as transfers of fund units are limited, it will be difficult for investors to transfer their units.
COMPANY-SPECIFIC RISK
Investors bear an entrepreneurial risk, linked to the unlisted companies held directly and indirectly by Altaroc Private Equity funds.
By their very nature, SMEs are generally riskier than larger companies. In addition, unlisted securities held by the funds are valued directly by management firms based on the estimated fair market value, and not directly by an organised market.
RISK OF CAPITAL LOSS
The risk of capital loss is particularly relevant to investments in unlisted securities. As Altaroc Private Equity funds do not offer a capital guarantee, the capital invested may not be returned in full or in part.
VALUATION RISK
It can be difficult to find appropriate price references for unquoted investments. This may have an impact on the valuation of the investment portfolio of Altaroc Private Equity funds.
PERFORMANCE RISK
Investment objectives present an expected result, but there is no guarantee that such a result will be achieved. Depending on market conditions and the macroeconomic environment, investment objectives may become more difficult to meet.
