Altera, An Alternative Asset Manager, Completes Nearly $60M GP Stakes Investment.

Altera, an alternative asset manager headquartered in Atlanta with nearly $550M in committed capital, announced through Business Wire that it has completed nearly $60M in GP stakes investments. The firm said its lower middle market focused GP stakes fund was oversubscribed. The strategy is designed to deliver investors meaningful annual distributions alongside capital appreciation, and the fund holds exposure to a range of GP firms across private equity, real assets and private credit.

David Fershteyn, Altera's Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer, described the firm as a closely held investment firm and flexible capital partner able to pursue any private market opportunity it believes can deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns. He said permanent equity ownership in the right alternative asset management firm can be a highly compelling financial asset, and that Altera will continue to methodically expand its GP stakes exposure through future fund vehicles and its corporate balance sheet.

Altera's investment program is organized into five distinct verticals, each targeting lower middle market opportunities. Since its founding, the firm has partnered with approximately 50 GPs across these platforms and can invest up to $50M in any one opportunity. Carlos Alcala, Altera's Chief Financial Officer, said the firm is grateful for the longstanding support of its diversified capital base.

Altera says more than 500 ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices and independent wealth management firms have built private market portfolios with the firm, and its shareholders have personally invested $140M+ across the verticals.
