INVESTMENT FOCUS
We seek to identify specialist areas of real assets in the core plus/value-add spectrum that are often difficult to access either due to scale or complexity, and form partnerships with specialist operating experts to deliver the respective investment strategy and offer investors attractive returns.
Our innovative operating model allows the asset operators to focus on operating performance and us to focus on business development and on-going fund management with a strong degree of alignment of interests
ESG is core to Astarte’s investment approach and is fully integrated across the firm and all our portfolio partners as a comprehensive and proactive framework to assess, create and measure impact.
