Alteri Investors

Overview

Alteri Investors is a specialist private equity investor focused exclusively on the European retail sector. Since launching in 2014, they have built an impressive track record of investments in retailers across Europe, helping management teams deliver operational improvements and optimize value creation. Their core team combines highly experienced investment professionals with retail operators, enabling them to become a preferred partner for management teams seeking the next stage of development. Alteri typically invests in retailers with sales between €100 million and €3 billion, covering the entire spectrum from performing retailers to those facing significant operational and financial challenges. Their investment strategy is highly flexible, targeting a broad range of opportunities across European retail, including private equity secondaries, corporate carve-outs, and owner-managed businesses. While they prefer a controlling interest, they are also comfortable with non-control investments, particularly where they can deploy their operational expertise. Backed by funds managed by affiliates of leading alternative investment management firm Apollo Global Management Inc., Alteri has access to substantial capital for investment and a partner with whom they can collaborate closely on transactions. Their investment horizons typically range from three to five years, and they have completed 19 transactions, investing in retailers with operations in 27 countries and across 13 retail sectors. Their portfolio includes companies such as Baby-Walz, Die Moderne Hausfrau, walzvital, and Intertoys, as well as a major investment in the UK's largest rent-to-own operator, Brighthouse.
