Altas Partners is pleased to announce that Damon Conway has joined the Firm as a Principal. Prior to joining Altas, Damon worked at Mill Road Capital in Greenwich, Connecticut where he focused on private equity and public equity investments, and at Onex Corporation in Toronto, where he was actively involved with the acquisition and subsequent ownership of Husky Injection Molding Systems.

HIGHLIGHTS STRONG SUPPORT FOR ITS DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH TO PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTING Altas Partners LP, a North American private equity firm, announced today that it has completed a US$1 billion fundraise for Altas Partners Holdings LP. The fund closed at its hard cap and was oversubscribed. Altas was established in 2012 to pursue a differentiated approach to private equity investing.

ALTAS DOUBLES DOWN ON LONG-TERM VISION WITH $1-BILLION FUNDRAISING Patience is proving to be a real virtue for private-equity firm Altas Partners LP, which raised $1-billion (U.S.) for its new fund. The Toronto-based firm, founded by Onex veteran Andrew Sheiner in 2012, is effectively doubling its size with this latest fundraising.

ALTAS PARTNERS RAISES $1 BILLION FOR LONGER-LIFE PRIVATE EQUITY FUND

ALTAS AND CDPQ INVEST ALONGSIDE MANAGEMENT TO SUPPORT CONTINUED GROWTH Capital Vision Services, LP (“CVS”), which provides management services to MyEyeDr. O.D. (“MyEyeDr.”) optometry practices, today announced that it has received an equity investment from a group led by Altas Partners (“Altas”) and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (“CDPQ”).

Adhering to its game plan, which calls for one or two new deals a year, Altas Partners has secured its third private equity investment. Founded by Andrew Sheiner, who spent 17 years at Onex, the Toronto-based firm was set up in 2012 as a longer-term private equity player looking to write equity cheques of between $100-million and $500-million a transaction.
