What Is Atrato Consulting?
Creative and Unconstrained: We deliver an eclectic and adaptive consulting partnership, providing sophisticated bandwidth to investors drawn to both boutique and institutional asset managers across alternative as well as traditional strategies.
Tireless Sourcing and Diligence: Markets change. With few exceptions, the investment manager landscape is a crowded place – strategies with definable and sustainable advantages are increasingly elusive. In addition to overall research bandwidth, we apply sophistication and discipline to identify, measure, vet, and endorse these opportunities.
Comfortable with the Complex: Our team draws from deep experience and a unique pedigree in supporting clients with complex needs across the landscape of core and niche alternative and impact-related investments. Areas of expertise include private markets in equity and credit, real and hard asset investing, hedge funds, and sustainability mandates.
Customization over Forced Economies of Scale: The creation of a unique and appropriate client portfolio requires a carefully measured recipe of asset classes, investment strategies, appetite for risk tolerance, patience, and agility. It also requires a nuanced understanding of each client’s investment culture, preferences, investment goals and timeline.
