Investment Banking
Alantra bases its investment banking activity on three pillars: the international reach combined with a solid local presence in 19 countries, its deep sector know-how and a full range of services offer: M&A, debt, capital markets and portfolio advisory.
Asset Management
Alantra provides asset management and advisory services to institutional investors and family offices on a wide range of alternative assets with a direct investment and a hands-on approach.
Wealth Management
Our wealth management team advises over 450 high net worth individuals providing an integral service based on independence, specialization, capital preservation and search of positive returns.
Alantra is organized as a partnership, finely balancing the management autonomy of its partners with accountability. As such we try to ally with enterprising professionals who are keen to manage their businesses with significant autonomy and who by extension ultimately assume full responsibility for such management. Our partners value the opportunity to work in a decentralized and burocracy-free organization governed by the principle of autonomous decision-making resource management in exchange for assuming full ultimate responsibility, i.e. we are entrepreneurs within a corporate structure.
Alantra’s growth model has been based on partnerships with local teams or to start up in new countries always through a flexible an innovative model that has been a determining factor in terms of attracting talent and become the company that we are. We are a flexible and innovative organization that has always shown its capacity to quickly adapt to market needs.
Another key pillar is the alignment of interests given our remuneration system and the fact that the groups’ executive partners hold 38.5% of the parent’s equity and in some cases an stake of its subsidiaries. This is a guarantee for our clients and shareholders and also four our partners on a relative basis
Sectors of preference
Generalist (except financial and real estate), special preference in sectors where the management has the longest track record: healthcare, food, industrial goods and services, technology and communication
