Relevant experience depends on the structure, its maturity and the decisions ahead.
We offer a regulated-firm independent alternative to a sole practitioner non-executive director or an in-house administrator director. As a regulated firm, we have a robust governance, compliance and risk management framework, which supports our individual directors and provides confidence to promoters, investors and regulators.
Relevant and specialist knowledge. Experienced in governance. Commercially astute. High ethical standards and accountability.
Operating together under a licensed and regulated firm. Access to peers with broad expertise. Governance systems for improved oversight. Collaborative best practice across structures and jurisdictions.
Hands-on, providing additional senior-level support. Available and responsive, aligned to corporate working hours and holiday policies. Alternate directors available. Board continuity when administrator directors change.
Industry insight from a strong client and intermediary network. Access to the wider Altair Group, including regulatory and compliance services. Understanding of the role and challenges of the administrator.
Our directors have chosen directorships as a profession. Although operating under Altair’s regulatory licence, each director contracts directly with their clients and remains personally accountable for their judgement and actions as members of their client boards.
“Altair is a fundamental part of the offshore fund ecosystem, we have worked with Altair since its formation in 2012 and have always been impressed by their willingness to support and find commercial solutions when situations arise.”
“Trusted directors are, in my view, an important element of professional governance and the effective management and administration of a PE fund. We have worked with several directors provided by Altair and greatly value their high level of competence, commercial understanding and active support. This clearly enhances the quality we deliver to our Limited Partners and is particularly valued by our US-based clients.”Michel Galeazzi Partner
“Altair seamlessly balances sharp commercial pragmatism with the rigor of good governance. Their insight and support make them a vital, longstanding partner in our operations.”Jackson Heddy CFO
“One of the greatest benefits of our longstanding relationship with Altair, and in particular with Julia, is the depth of understanding they have developed of our business, its history and objectives and the dynamics that influence decision-making. We have found all Altair directors to be experienced, commercial and credible with exceptionally good knowledge of both regulatory and corporate governance issues.”Matthew Crill Head of Corporate Governance, Jersey
Independent directors enhance board effectiveness by offering fresh perspectives, unbiased oversight and strategic guidance, leading to stronger governance, better decision making and increased credibility in the eyes of promoters, investors and regulators. Our directors sit apart from both the manager and the administrator, bringing constructive challenge and helping the board identify and manage conflicts of interest.
A professional director from a licensed, regulated firm demonstrates robust governance to promoters, investors and regulators, supporting fundraising and investor due diligence. Our directors also have access to peers with broad expertise, to the wider Altair Group’s regulatory and compliance services, and to governance systems for improved oversight.
Our directors can join a board alongside administrator-appointed directors. We bring a separate perspective while working with the other members and can provide continuity when administrator representatives change.
We start with the entity’s activities, assets, structure, jurisdiction and the decisions ahead. We then propose directors with relevant experience, supported by profiles that make each person’s background easy to compare.
