Alternative Investments for Experienced Investors
We provide investors with access to compelling alternative investments.
All are carefully selected for their potential to deliver better returns than traditional mainstream investments.
Mark Mullen
CEO, Atom Bank
Investing in alternatives
With a focus on opportunities that transform industries and communities, we provide co-investment opportunities across three key areas:
- Venture Capital - backing the next generation of British businesses, we focus on startups that use innovative technology to disrupt industries (and use tax-efficient wrappers where we can)
- Private Equity - we look for operational and revenue-generating organisations where operational efficiencies can be made to rapidly increase EBITDA
- Property - with a chronic undersupply of housing in the UK, our property investors support the development of the right homes, in the right locations, when they're needed most
Featured Investment Opportunity
We back the game changers, the innovators and value creators.
Those who make a positive difference to the way we live and work. Whether that’s the UK’s first app-only and most trusted bank, or a tech startup that’s transforming the way businesses engage employees and strengthen culture, the mission is the same - identify and accelerate those businesses with the potential to grow, scale and create value.
