Our story
In 2021, Altamar Capital Partners and CAM Alternatives integrated their philosophy and business goals to create a true leading pan-European private asset manager of scale. Both companies have a solid and long-standing relationship, sharing similar culture, vision and values, based on a strong commitment to people and sustainability.
Co-chaired by Claudio Aguirre and Rolf Wickenkamp and managed by an experienced executive committee, Altamar CAM Partners S.L. is the organisation resulting from this combination, becoming a larger investment vehicle providing access to the best financial services.
