Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Alegria Asset Management?
Founding partners Dirk Vandenberghe and Bart Goossens oversee all investment decisions. Both left institutional finance roles prior to 2011 and built the firm's credit and real asset underwriting function around their direct origination networks in Belgium and the Netherlands.
How does Alegria source proprietary deal flow?
Alegria sources through direct relationships with regional banks, corporate finance advisors, and property developers across Flanders and the southern Netherlands. The firm does not participate in broad auction processes, instead structuring bilateral loans where it can negotiate terms directly with borrowers.
Is Alegria structured as a family office or an asset manager?
Alegria operates as a regulated asset manager, not a family office. Its early vehicles used Belgium's privak structure, a publicly offered closed-end fund format, before the firm added Luxembourg-domiciled vehicles. This makes it accessible to institutional and retail investors, not just private capital.
Does Alegria participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Alegria focuses on direct origination. The firm underwrites and holds senior secured loans to mid-market companies and property developers, rather than committing to third-party private credit or real estate funds. It has not raised a fund-of-funds vehicle.
What investment stages does Alegria typically target?
The firm targets mid-market companies with established cash flows and real estate projects with visible pre-leasing or pre-sales. It does not invest in venture-stage or early-growth companies. Loan tickets typically range from €5M to €25M.
Which sectors does Alegria explicitly avoid?
Alegria has not publicly disclosed exclusion lists, but its deal history shows no exposure to consumer lending, hospitality, or speculative greenfield development. The portfolio concentrates on logistics, residential, renewable energy, and small-scale infrastructure.
Does Alegria maintain philanthropic structures?
No philanthropic foundation or donor-advised vehicle associated with Alegria or its principals has been publicly identified. The firm appears to operate solely as a for-profit asset manager.
