++ Clearsight fundraising a success
++ Proceeds of EUR 95 million exceed expectations
++ New international institutional investors and family offices gained as
investors
Altira AG ('Altira Group') has achieved fundraising success in its 'German
'Mittelstand'&Restructuring' business area. Clearsight Investments AG
('Clearsight'), Zurich, which was established in mid-2008 and is 40% owned
by the Altira Group, raised EUR 95 million for its first fund-of-funds,
CLEARSIGHT Turnaround Fund I, L.P., thereby significantly exceeding its
target volume of EUR 80 million. Well-known international institutional
investors and family offices were gained as new investors.
Clearsight specialises in providing fund-of-funds solutions in the private
equity sector, offering investors access to the highly restricted and
strongly fragmented corporate restructuring market.
Michael Rieder, CEO of the Altira Group: 'Private equity for corporate
restructuring is attracting greater interest from investors, primarily due
to the current recessionary market environment, but also because of its
attractive risk-return profile. The marketing success achieved by
CLEARSIGHT Turnaround Fund I, L.P., is also a confirmation of the Altira
Group's business model. Independent investment teams with their own brands
are supported by the Altira Group's institutional infrastructure in areas
such as controlling/risk management, legal, marketing/distribution, product
management, human resources and IT.'
