STORY
Aperture Investors is an alternative investment manager founded by industry veteran Peter Kraus and Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A., one of the world’s largest insurance and asset management firms. We invest across credit and equity asset classes globally.
As part of the Generali Investments platform, our mission is to generate absolute returns while maintaining a culture fully aligned with the interests of our investors. The firm combines an entrepreneurial environment with institutional-grade infrastructure, creating a platform that fosters both performance and stability. Our investor- and performance-aligned fee structure reinforces a culture of accountability and enduring partnership.
Aperture is headquartered in New York, with offices in London and Paris.
Alignment
We seek to align our interests with those of our investors by closely tying portfolio manager compensation and firm profitability to performance.
Opportunity Set
We believe firms that charge a high base management fee and no performance-based fee have a natural motivation to grow assets without constraints, thereby diluting returns and being at risk of closet indexing. By contrast, we manage our capacity for each strategy to ensure we maintain our opportunity set.
Expertise
Aperture seeks investment professionals who believe in our philosophy. Because their compensation is so closely tied to excess return generation, these individuals are willing to bet on themselves.
