Operational since mid-2020, Anima Alternative launched its first fund at the beginning of 2021, Anima Alternative 1, attracting funds that have exceeded the target of 150 million euros.
It is a closed-end direct lending fund governed by Italian law, reserved for professional investors investing primarily in debt instruments (senior debt, unitranche/2nd lien and mezzanine debt) and to the extent of 20% circa in minority shareholdings.
Just a few months since its launch, the fund has completed 5 investments totaling more than 30% of its total size.
