Private Equity was born in the United States 50 years ago. Unsurprisingly, it is on the other side of the Atlantic that we find the managers with the best historical track records, making the United States the benchmark country for investing in this asset class. Altaroc aims to invest 40% of its vintage funds in the United States.

Thanks to a rise in exports, the country's trade deficit narrowed more than expected. Inflation is stable year-on-year. The US job market remains solid, and household consumption robust.
