Aperture Investors operates in the investment management space, focusing on active management through a carefully selected roster of investment managers and strategies. The firm designs fee and compensation structures intended to align manager incentives with client outcomes, rather than rewarding activity regardless of performance. This approach addresses concerns about fixed-fee models common in active asset management and their reflection of relative performance. The company was founded in 2018 by Peter Kraus, a former CEO of AllianceBernstein and Co-Head of Investment Management at Goldman Sachs, together with Generali, and is based in New York City. Its client base comprises investors seeking actively managed exposure with performance-linked pay that more closely aligns costs with realized results. In May 2026, Aperture Investors was recognized with Best Group in Equity - Europe at the Citywire Switzerland Awards, reflecting industry acknowledgment of its equity strategies.
