Miguel Zurita’s appointment as a co-chief investment officer comes as Altamar plans to raise an emerging market and a secondary fund this year.

Unlike its predecessor fund, DB Secondary Opportunities Fund II targeted US investors, which make up 40% of the fund commitments.

The firm has purchased five fund stakes from a bank just a week after purchasing a £160m portfolio of assets from UBM’s data services division.

The firm has already put one-fifth of its over-subscribed new fund to work with an eye to invest more in Asian secondaries than ever before.
