Altaroc, a major European player in institutional-quality private equity for private investors, announces the launch of its new fund, RAIF Altaroc Horizon 2026. This vintage gives investors access to unlisted strategies through a diversified, structured approach inspired by the highest institutional standards.

A diversified, international investment strategy

RAIF Altaroc Horizon 2026 offers global allocation, invested with leading international managers in North America and Europe. This geographical diversification is designed to capture the best opportunities in the most dynamic private equity markets.

This new vintage is already committed to three managers through four funds, and is currently undergoing advanced due diligence on two additional funds ranked in the global first quartile.

The fund focuses on non-cyclical, high-growth sectors: technology, software and healthcare — sectors offering strong structural prospects, driven by innovation and long-term underlying trends.

As with previous vintages, the fund is classified as Article 8 under the SFDR regulation and will publish multi-year reporting in line with regulatory investor-disclosure requirements.

Value creation at the heart of the investment strategy

The investment strategy is based on the rigorous selection of primary funds and co-investments, with a strong emphasis on operational value creation. The managers selected actively support portfolio companies to accelerate their growth, improve performance and optimise their strategic positioning, including through active participation in market consolidation.

“Double-digit revenue growth. Operating margin above 20%. The very strong performance of the 600 underlying companies we have supported over the past four years is the best testimony to the quality and resilience of our portfolios. In a world where the number of listed companies keeps shrinking and the universe of companies backed by private equity keeps expanding, it is becoming imperative for private clients to diversify their portfolios by gaining access to this part of the economy, which creates so much wealth,” said Frédéric Stolar, Managing Partner at Altaroc.

A proven approach and continuity of vision

With €2 billion raised since 2021, Altaroc confirms the relevance of its model. The launch of RAIF Altaroc Horizon 2026 forms part of a continuity strategy, enabling existing investors to further diversify their wealth through a portfolio of more than 200 new companies.

This launch also forms part of the European expansion Altaroc has pursued since 2023, supported by distribution across eight European countries: Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Against a backdrop of normalising valuations, private equity continues to establish itself as an essential asset class. Across Europe, 87% of family offices are invested in private equity,² and the asset class is widely regarded as offering the best long-term risk-adjusted returns.³ RAIF Altaroc Horizon 2026 is accessible from €100,000,¹ called regularly at 10% of the commitment per half-year over a five-year period — a structure that allows investors to spread their investment effort while accessing strategies usually reserved for large institutions.
