German "Mittelstand" & Restructuring


Investment team Restructurings Europe (Funds of funds)

Clearsight Investments AG in which Altira has a 40% holding, gives institutional investors and family offices access via fund of funds investments to the lucrative niche market of private equity for corporate restructurings. Clearsight’s investment team based in Zurich uses an active and extensive search process to systematically filter out the very best from the multitude of private equity teams for restructurings in the whole of Europe. The focus is on funds with the most sustainable returns, not the biggest or best known funds. If a private equity team does not yet have a fund, Clearsight works together with the team to structure a fund, thereby making the team investible. In both cases, the management of the target fund generally holds a higher than normal investment in their own fund. Investments are made in a variety of investment teams in different European countries, thereby ensuring broad diversification.
