Truly Global Coverage – With offices in Sydney and London ATLAS is a globally oriented firm which brings together a team with deep expertise in a broad range of sectors and geographies. This breadth serves to reduce portfolio “home bias” and “familiarity bias”.

Structure & Alignment – ATLAS Partners and staff own a significant proportion of the firm’s equity, which facilitates alignment of the entire team with the overall objectives of the firm. Everything we do emphasizes the importance of a team approach.

 

Infrastructure Foundations – ATLAS is majority owned by GIP, one of the preeminent investors in private infrastructure. The firm’s objective is to bring to the listed market the same rigorous research and focus on cash flow analysis as a best-in-class private market investor.

Investment Philosophy & Process

 

The ATLAS investment process is centred around the fundamental analysis of corporate assets and cash flows, through rigorous research and company modelling, consistently applied across our investment universe.  This analysis enables us to make meaningful, high conviction investments supported by our own sector knowledge, company research and due diligence.

ATLAS values a collective approach to decision-making, drawing on the combined experience of its staff and reducing the scope for individual bias within the portfolio.

 

All investment ideas are subject to the same scrutiny and peer review process. Each member of our Investment Committee takes full ownership of every decision to buy or sell assets in the portfolio.

“All aspects of our business have been developed to facilitate an integrated and cohesive team structure. Everything from our research processes to our remuneration structures reinforce the primacy of the team over the individual.”
