Altamar appoints Caturla as managing director
Spain-based fund-of-funds manager Altamar Capital Partners has appointed José Caturla as a managing director and head of insurance and pension solutions.
In his new role, Caturla will be responsible for defining and coordinating the development of investment management products and services aimed at the insurance and pension fund sectors. He will oversee the production of bespoke solutions to respond to the challenges that institutions face in the long and short term in an increasingly regulated environment defined by the new Solvency II framework.
Prior to joining Altamar in 2017, Caturla was corporate investments director at Aviva Spain and CEO of Aviva Gestión from 2002. He also worked as investment director for Seguros Plus Ultra, part of Aviva Group, after starting his career in the pension fund sector as CIO at Eagle Star Am in Spain.
Altamar has €4.8bn of historically committed capital and assets under management. The firm launched Global Secondaries IX in August 2016, a new secondaries and co-investments fund with a target of €500m.
The fund will look to invest €150-175m in secondaries transactions around the world, with a special focus on buyouts.
