Altus Investment Funds Association

What Altus Investment Funds Association does

Altus Investment Funds Association (operating as Altus TFI S.A. or ALTUS Spółka Akcyjna) is a Polish investment fund management company (Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych) headquartered in Warsaw at ul. Pankiewicza 3. The company is regulated by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), which granted its initial business activity license in December 2008 and an expanded fund management license in June 2010. Altus operates a multi-strategy fund platform encompassing open-end investment funds (FIO) — including the umbrella Altus FIO Parasolowy with subfunds for stable growth, active management, and money market — as well as closed-end investment funds (FIZ) such as the absolute-return Altus ASZ FIZ Nowa Europa + (later renamed Altus FIZ GlobAl 2). At its peak in January 2017 the company managed over PLN 15 billion in assets across more than 35 funds, up from PLN 366 million in 2010.

The company monetizes AUM through asset-based management fees disclosed in individual fund prospectuses, billed on a recurring basis. Distribution is multi-channel: direct institutional sales targeting pension funds, insurance companies, and large corporates; high-net-worth individual investor relations; and third-party distribution partnerships with Stefczyk Finanse (cooperative banking network, from January 2016), BNP Paribas Bank Polska, mBank, and a historical partnership with TFI SKOK S.A. for cooperative banking (SKOK) customers. The company completed its IPO on the Warsaw Stock Exchange Main Market on July 11, 2014, with EBRD and ING OFE as anchor shareholders above 5%, reaching a market capitalization of approximately PLN 650 million at listing.

Piotr Osiecki, holding 48.94% of shares directly and via Osiecki Inwestycje sp. z o.o., is the controlling shareholder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Since 2018 the company has navigated a period of regulatory and operational stress: closed-end fund management was transferred to Rockbridge TFI S.A. in October 2018, KNF imposed monetary penalties in February 2020, SEJF FIO entered liquidation, and a series of KNF administrative decisions, reconsideration requests, and Provincial Administrative Court appeals have continued through 2024–2025. The company remains listed on the WSE and continues to file periodic and current reports as of mid-2026.
