Altamar Partners North America LLC
Altamar Partners North America LLC was established in 2023 as the US-focused entity of Altamar Capital Partners, the Spanish private equity and asset management firm founded in 2003. The North American unit operates from Miami with an additional office in Madrid. Altamar's wealth originates from the institutional and family-office clients of its European parent — not a single-family fortune. The firm pursues direct investments across private equity, venture capital, secondaries, infrastructure, and real estate. It targets mid-market companies in North America, writing equity checks of $20M to $100M. Known deals include a co-investment in Spanish-language media company and a alongside partners in renewable energy infrastructure (per public filings, 2024). The geographic footprint spans the US, Canada, and select European cross-border opportunities. Altamar Partners North America manages approximately $2B in assets as of 2023 (per public record). Professionals are shared with the European parent, though the unit maintains a dedicated team of roughly 15 in Miami and Madrid. There is no disclosed philanthropic vehicle. In 2024, the firm completed a first-close of its flagship North American fund, targeting $500M (per industry press). What distinguishes Altamar Partners North America is its hybrid identity — a US-domiciled vehicle that taps into European institutional and ultra-high-net-worth capital flows. This cross-Atlantic bridge gives it proprietary access to deal flow from both sides, sourcing from Altamar Capital's decades of relationships with Spanish family offices and European institutional investors, while competing for direct investments in the US mid-market.
