Atrato Group, the alternatives asset management and advisory group specialising in asset backed income strategies, has announced the appointment of Guillaume Bertail as managing director, Structuring.
Bertail joins to assist Atrato’s COO, Lara Townsend with the ongoing development of new investment strategies following the successful IPO of Atrato Onsite Energy in 2021.
Guillaume joins from Goldman Sachs, where he spent the past 15 years working in M&A and structured finance. As a structured finance professional, he focused on originating, structuring and executing bespoke credit transactions across the corporate, property and infrastructure sectors. He has completed more than £2 bn of structured corporate deals, £3 bn of credit-tenant lease transactions and £8 bn of infrastructure debt financings.
To date the Company has launched and advises two listed funds, the £1.2 bn Supermarket Income REIT, which invests in omnichannel grocery stores, and the recently listed £150 mln Atrato Onsite Energy Plc, which invests in onsite renewable energy assets, along with a number of other segregated mandates.
Lara Townsend, COO at Atrato Group, said: ‘Guillaume is well known to Atrato having previously worked alongside the firm’s founders and is a fantastic addition to the team. I have every confidence that he can support us in creating new funds, both listed and private, which are consistent with our core long income investment themes and thereby help us achieve our growth ambitions.’
