Strategies

The ACR Equity Quality Return (EQR) strategy is the firm’s flagship equity strategy, with a proven track record dating back to April 2000. The strategy is grounded in disciplined underwriting and fundamental research, with an emphasis on capital preservation and absolute return objectives, particularly during lower-return market environments.

The ACR All Cap Partners strategy invests in high-quality U.S. and Canadian businesses supported by long-tenured management teams and aligned strategic shareholders. The strategy applies ACR’s established, bottom-up fundamental research framework within a concentrated portfolio of 15–25 holdings.

The ACR Opportunity strategy is a concentrated, absolute-return strategy targeting a 30–50 security portfolio across global equity and credit markets. The strategy applies a bottom-up fundamental value framework across market capitalizations and throughout the capital structure, allowing capital to be allocated where risk-adjusted return potential is most compelling.

The ACR Equity International strategy is the firm’s developed international market equity strategy. The strategy is concentrated in approximately twenty thoroughly researched investments selected from non-U.S. developed markets and constructed in accordance with ACR’s disciplined focus on quality and undervaluation.

The Alpine Strategic Credit (ASC) strategy provides tailored financing to the underserved lower-middle market, primarily in asset-heavy sectors such power, energy, aviation, and advanced manufacturing. We emphasize shorter duration investments, typically three year average payback with cash flow amortizations to accelerate capital return. Upside participation beyond principal and interest are typically structured into each deal we negotiate. We work with management teams to find customized capital solutions that both protect our investors’ capital and align incentives. Our target net return is mid-teens over a market cycle. We generally have a low correlation to traditional asset classes and other fund managers.
