80% in private equity funds and 20% in co-investments: this is the target allocation for theAltaroc Odyssey 2026. This fund aims to build a diversified international portfolio by combining a selection of fund managers with investments made alongside them in unlisted companies. The minimum subscription amount is set at €100,000, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements.

How does this vintage work? Understanding it depends on several factors:

  • fund selection,
  • the desired diversification,
  • the schedule for calls for funds and
  • the period during which the capital is tied up.

The analysis must also take into account the costs, management objectives, and risks specific to private equity.

Good to know

Investing involves the risk of capital loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

What is "Altaroc Odyssey 2026"?

Altaroc Odyssey 2026 SLP is a specialized professional fund structured as a limited partnership and managed by Altaroc Partners. It allows eligible investors to gain exposure to international private equity through a structure combining a feeder fund and a master fund.

A feeder fund structured as an SLP

Altaroc Odyssey 2026 is a feeder fund designed to invest at least 85% of its assets in Altaroc Master 2026 SLP. This master fund implements the investment strategy in the underlying funds and co-investments.

Investors therefore purchase shares in the feeder fund, while the investments are made at the master fund level. This structure requires a comprehensive understanding of the entire setup to grasp the fees, risks, and operating procedures.

The fund is subject to a declaratory filing requirement with the Autorité des marchés financiers.

An approach inspired by institutional investors

The investment strategy incorporates several principles used by institutional investors: selecting fund managers, diversifying exposures, and maintaining investments over the long term.

The target size ofAltaroc Odyssey 2026 is 350 million euros, with a commitment from the founders ofAltaroc of 33 million euros. This commitment helps align the interests of the founders and investors, without constituting a guarantee of capital preservation.

The goal is to bring together multiple areas of management expertise within a single vehicle. The quality of the portfolio’s construction stems from the complementary nature of these areas and the terms under which the investments are made.

What strategy should Altaroc Odyssey adopt for 2026?

Altaroc 'sOdyssey 2026 strategy combines investments in funds and co-investments. It aims to provide exposure to buyout and Growth Equity strategies, with sectoral and geographic diversification.

A target allocation of 80% in funds and 20% in co-investments

The fund portfolio accounts for 80% of the target allocation. It provides access to portfolios built by selected managers, who identify companies, execute transactions, and support their growth.

The remaining 20% is allocated to co-investments made alongside partner managers. This investment category allows for targeted exposure to certain companies as part of specific transactions.

This portfolio is designed to provide exposure to more than 150 underlying companies over time. This is a diversification goal, not necessarily the number of companies included at the time of subscription.

There may also be overlaps between the two portfolios. A company held as part of a co-investment may already be included in the portfolio of an underlying fund, if the investment team atAltaroc deems it appropriate.

buyout , and Growth Equity

buyout involves investing in companies that are generally well-established, often by acquiring a majority stake.

‍Value creation can be driven by business development, operational improvements, acquisitions, or organizational transformation.

Growth Equity supports companies that are already in business and wish to accelerate their growth.

The capital raised can be used to fund international expansion, new products, or team growth.

These strategies expose investors to risks that vary depending on the specific investment. A company’s maturity, the recurring nature of its revenue, or its competitive position do not eliminate the risk of loss.

Sectoral and Geographic Diversification

Technology and software account for a significant portion of the target allocation, with an exposure of 50 to 60 percent. Healthcare represents a target of 10 to 20 percent, supplemented by B2B services and B2C digital.

This strategy is based, in particular, on identifying companies whose growth can be supported by digitalization, healthcare needs, or the transformation of services.

Geographically, the indicative allocation targets 45% in Europe, 45% in North America, and 10% in Asia and the rest of the world. These allocations are targets that may change depending on the investments made.

Geographic diversification spreads out certain sources of risk, but it can also expose investors to different currencies and regulatory environments. Similarly, several companies located in different countries may still be sensitive to a common economic factor.

How are fund managers selected?

The selection of fund managers is a key step in establishing a fund of funds. It involves reviewing their track record, their organizational structure, and the methods they use to support companies.

Why Choose Private Equity Funds?

Learn how sector specialization supports opportunity selection and value creation, and why Altaroc places this expertise at the heart of its fund manager selection strategy.

A Financial and Operational Analysis

Financial analysis focuses, in particular, on historical performance, investment multiples, and realized losses. It must distinguish between results that have already been realized and valuations that are still estimates.

The internal rate of return( IRR) measures annualized performance while taking into account the timing of cash flows. The multiple compares the calculated value to the capital invested: these indicators provide complementary information and should be interpreted together.

The selection process also incorporates qualitative criteria: team experience and stability, governance, sector specialization, and investment discipline. An assessment of how environmental, social, and governance issues are integrated rounds out this analysis.

A historic performance cannot be viewed in isolation from its context. The year, the leverage used, market conditions, and the proportion of investments already sold all influence how it is interpreted.

Altaroc 's Selection UniverseOdyssey 2026

The investment universe includes, among others, Hg , Genesis 11 ,Main Capital IX, Main Foundation III, Bridgepoint Europe VIII, GTCR Fund XV, and Apax XII.

It is important to distinguish between fund management companies and the funds they manage. Main Capital IX and Main Foundation III are thus two investment vehicles associated with the same Fund manager.

Complementarity must therefore be assessed beyond the number of funds. It depends on the targeted business segments, sectors, geographic regions, and value creation methods.

The actual composition of the portfolio evolves as it is deployed. The selection universe and allocation objectives should not be confused with a final allocation.

How does investing work?

A subscription involves a financial commitment, with payments made in installments. The committed capital and the capital actually called for are therefore two distinct concepts.

Fundraising Appeals fromAltaroc Odyssey 2026

The capital call schedule calls for 10% at subscription, followed by 10% every six months beginning in April 2027. The semi-annual payment dates are set around March 31 and September 30, in accordance with the applicable payment terms.

For a commitment of €100,000, a 10% call corresponds to a payment of €10,000. This example is intended solely to illustrate how calls work and does not prejudge any distributions.

A special provision is in place for the final closing on March 31, 2027: the call for funds will total 20%, combining the subscription call and the call for the first half of 2027.

This approach makes it possible to anticipate the funds that will need to be raised. However, it requires maintaining the financial capacity to meet future calls for capital, regardless of any distributions.

A contract term of 10 to 13 years

The announced commitment period is 10 years, with three options to extend it by one year each. The investor should therefore expect a commitment period of up to 13 years.

Distributions depend, in particular, on the sale of companies and the cash flows generated by the underlying funds. Their amount and timing are not guaranteed.

A long term does not mean that the entire principal will necessarily be repaid on a specific date. The redemption terms and any possible extensions must be reviewed in the regulatory documentation.

Allocations and the target size are objectives. The terms and conditions should be read in conjunction with the fund’s articles of incorporation and key investor information document.

What are the fees and the performance target?

Evaluating the fund involves examining the costs at each level of the structure. It also requires an understanding of what the performance objective entails.

Several levels of fees to consider

The stated management fees range from 2.5% to 1.65% per year, excluding indirect costs associated with investing in the master fund. A 20% performance fee applies exclusively to co-investments.

Reading the articles of incorporation and the key information document helps put these costs into context. A comparison between products must be based on a consistent set of costs.

Understanding private equity fees

Private equity fees reflect the in-depth work involved in selecting, analyzing, and supporting unlisted companies. From the e due diligence s to the creation of operational value, learn why these fees are higher than those in public markets and how to analyze them in light of net performance and a long-term investment horizon.

A " IRR " objective distinct from a guaranteed return

Altaroc Odyssey 2026 has set a target of 13% net-of-fees IRR , based on the performance of the master fund, net of fees specific to the feeder fund. This target is neither guaranteed nor contractual and is stated before taxes applicable to the investor.

A 13% “ IRR ” does not correspond to an annual payment of 13%. This metric depends on all capital calls, distributions, and their timing.

The historical results of the underlying portfolio managers are not indicative of the fund's future performance. The selected investments, costs, and market conditions may differ.

What risks do we need to understand?

The risk of capital loss means that an investor may recover less than the amounts invested, or even lose the entire investment. The selection of fund managers and diversification do not completely eliminate this risk.

The risk of illiquidity means that the shares should not be considered a short-term reserve. A potential sale may be difficult, subject to restrictions, or carried out under unfavorable conditions.

Valuation risk arises, in particular, from the use of periodic estimates for unlisted assets. The fact that valuations are conducted less frequently than in stock markets does not mean there is no economic risk.

The underlying companies may also be affected by their debt, interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, or a decline in their business. The terms of the sale may delay distributions or reduce the amounts recovered.

Finally, the SFDR Article 8 classification refers to a framework for disclosing sustainability-related information. It is neither a guarantee of performance nor a protection against losses.

What role does it play in a vintage-based approach?

A "vintage" refers to a generation of funds within a specific launch and deployment period. Allocating investments across multiple vintages is intended to diversify entry conditions and exit periods.

Odyssey, the Private Equity vintage offering fromAltaroc

In private equity, predicting market cycles remains a complex task. Investing regularly across different cohorts allows you to diversify investment timeframes and limit the risks associated with market timing. Learn why this approach, combined with a rigorous selection of managers, helps build a diversified portfolio over the long term.

‍

Altaroc Odyssey 2026 can thus be analyzed in terms of its selection strategy, its target diversification, and its operating procedures. Its role in an asset allocation depends on an understanding of the risks, the investment horizon, and the ability to meet financial commitments.
