Altus Capital

What Altus Capital does

Altus Capital is a privately held investment group founded in 2005 and headquartered in Singapore, specializing in Special Situations investments across emerging Southeast Asia. The firm operates two core investment platforms — Real Estate Special Situations and Tactical Opportunities — and positions itself as the only integrated platform in the region combining on-ground in-house capabilities for investment origination, management, and loan and asset servicing.

The Real Estate Special Situations platform provides structured credit and equity financing to real estate companies and sponsors, acquires assets requiring repositioning or redevelopment, purchases non-performing loan (NPL) and real estate owned (REO) portfolios from financial institutions, and trades RMBS and CMBS. The Tactical Opportunities platform focuses on restructurings, turnarounds, and business change advisory and investment, with stated exposure to Financial Services and Infrastructure sectors. Beyond its Singapore headquarters, the firm maintains regional offices in Manila (Philippines), Jakarta (Indonesia), and Bangkok (Thailand), supporting cross-border deal flow and asset servicing across the four largest Southeast Asian economies.

Altus generates revenue from three streams: investment returns derived from structured credit, equity positions, and asset acquisitions; advisory fees for restructuring and turnaround mandates; and fee income from in-house loan and asset servicing. Its target customer base spans real estate-focused companies and sponsors seeking opportunistic financing, banks and financial institutions disposing of non-core NPL and REO portfolios, and companies in Financial Services and Infrastructure requiring transformation support. The firm does not publicly disclose revenue, AUM, headcount, or pricing terms; deal economics are negotiated bilaterally with institutional counterparties.
