1 Asset Management

What 1 Asset Management does

1 Asset Management is a Vilnius-headquartered, Bank of Lithuania-licensed investment management company founded in 2018, operating 12 specialized alternative-asset funds with approximately EUR 750 million in assets under management and 450+ investors. The platform spans fixed income (1AM Fixed Income Fund), private debt (NuCapital), thematic equities (IAM Global Thematic Equity Fund, IAM US Bluechip Growth Fund I), sector-specific vehicles (IAM Petcare Growth Fund, Airport Hotels Fund, IAM Luxury Hotels Fund), and real estate development funds (CEE Student Housing Fund under the SHED Living brand, IAM Rome Prime Real Estate Development Fund, Education Infrastructure Fund), plus the Baltic Green Fund for forestry and the Baltic Capital Markets Acceleration Fund for pre-IPO investments.

The underlying infrastructure combines a Bank of Lithuania-regulated Lithuanian management entity (UAB "I Asset Management") with a CSSF-authorized Luxembourg AIFM subsidiary (1 Asset Management Luxembourg S.à r.l.) that provides portfolio management, risk management, and cross-border fund distribution services. A dedicated client zone, a LinkedIn presence split between Lithuania and Luxembourg, and partnerships with Orion Securities (distribution), mBank (project financing), Hanner (co-development), and Yugo (property management) form the operational backbone.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring management fees on committed/invested AUM across the 12 funds, supplemented by transaction-based performance fees and carried interest on successful exits (e.g., the Airport Hotels Fund's Hampton by Hilton Krakow Airport exit). Customer segments are institutional investors and high-net-worth private investors with EUR 30,000+ minimum ticket sizes, alongside SME borrowers accessed via the NuCapital private-debt fund. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with selective retail distribution through licensed intermediaries.

Broad incumbents

• Partners Group: Large global alternatives manager operating multi-strategy programs across private debt, real estate, infrastructure and private equity. Comparable to 1AM at a strategic level only — same multi-alternatives institutional model but vastly larger AUM and global footprint.
• Schroders Capital: Global asset manager with a deep real assets and alternatives book (Schroders Capital Real Estate, Schroders Capital Private Debt). Overlaps conceptually with 1AM's mix of real estate, private debt and equity strategies, but operates at far greater scale across multiple geographies.
• Patron Capital Partners: European real-estate focused private equity firm with thesis around operational/value-add real estate across Western and CEE Europe. Overlaps with 1AM's student housing and hotel RE thesis (PBSA development, value-add hotel conversions in Rome).
• Ninety One: Emerging-markets and multi-asset investment manager with both institutional and retail funds across equities, fixed income and alternatives. Comparable to 1AM at product-line level (multi-fund platform across asset classes with emerging/CEE exposure).

Direct peers

• LHV Asset Management: Estonian pension and asset manager operating second-pillar pension funds plus retail and institutional investment funds across CEE. Highly comparable to 1AM in regulatory profile (Baltic EU jurisdiction), multi-asset product set, and pension/institutional distribution.
• BaltCap: Baltic-headquartered private equity and infrastructure manager (BaltCap Infrastructure Fund, BaltCap Private Equity Fund). Comparable to 1AM's CEE Student Housing Fund for its regional PE/infra focus and team pedigree (e.g., Matas Mockeliūnas formerly at BaltCap).
• INVL Asset Management: Lithuanian licensed asset manager running multiple open-end and closed-end funds across equities, fixed income and alternatives for retail and institutional clients in the Baltics. Closest domestic peer to 1AM given similar jurisdiction, regulator, multi-fund structure, and Baltic investor base.
• Cobalt Capital: Lithuanian alternative asset manager focused on private credit and special situations in the Baltics and CEE. Overlaps with 1AM's NuCapital private debt fund in target market, ticket size and collateralized SME lending model.

Emerging players

• BlueOrchard Finance: Impact-focused asset manager investing in EM/CEE through private debt and equity vehicles with institutional LP support (including EIF partnerships). Comparable to 1AM's CEE Student Housing Fund and NuCapital in geography, EIF-style LP alignment, and emerging-markets debt strategy.

Regional players

• Eika Real Estate Fund (EIF-related CEE vehicles): Lithuanian-origin real estate investment and development group active in Baltic and Polish residential and commercial markets. Comparable geographic footprint and CEE real-estate orientation to 1AM's development-focused funds.
