What are Altaroc’s target strategies?
Summary
Private equity encompasses several investment strategies depending on the stage of a company’s development. Venture capital comes into play very early on, starting at the concept or startup phase. Although potentially highly profitable, this segment involves high risk, a heavy reliance on a few exceptional successes, and a very long investment horizon. For these reasons, it is considered unsuitable for private investors.Altaroc two strategies considered to offer the best balance between return, risk, and liquidity: Growth Equity and Leveraged Buyout (LBO). Growth Equity targets high-growth companies, often close to profitability, where value creation relies primarily on operational development rather than debt. LBO, on the other hand, focuses on more mature companies capable of withstanding leverage, thereby optimizing investment performance. Other strategies, such as distressed turnaround, secondary funds, or infrastructure, are deliberately excluded. These strategies present either a level of risk deemed too high, lower long-term return potential, or an investment horizon that is too long for private investors. Second-tier funds, for example, offer faster returns but generally lower returns over the long term, while infrastructure investments often require investment horizons exceeding 15 years. Historical analysis confirms the robustness of the selected strategies. Even in the worst years, LBO Growth Equity private equity generated positive returns, unlike venture capital or public markets during certain crises. Over the long term, these strategies deliver superior performance with controlled volatility, which explains their success with institutional investors and their appeal to private investors seeking sustainable returns.
