VALTERRA CAPITAL
Impact Allocation Overlay
Same investment, transformed profile – with downside protection, deeper liquidity and amplified impact.
You hold the position exactly as you would today, keeping title and governance. Valterra commits to buy it from you at a defined price – and that one commitment is what creates the protection, the liquidity and the defined return.
What it provides
A layer of protection on the allocation, regardless of how the underlying holding performs.
A way to exit an otherwise illiquid position, from six months.
A pre-agreed return of par + 8% p.a., plus a flat 25% kicker from Valterra’s upside share on other holdings.
The same impact as allocating directly, alongside enabling additional capital to flow into impact.
Nothing moves at signing – no fees, no transfer of ownership. Can be applied to a portion or the whole position, on a new allocation or an existing holding.
Three states of capital, one overlay
The overlay can be applied in three distinct ways.
On $1m: $1.08m at one year – $1.33m with the flat 25% kicker, on the standard basis.
Your numbers
Illustrative, for a buy-out Valterra provides. The kicker is funded from Valterra's upside share on other holdings and paid over time. Protection arises from the diversification of Valterra's asset base, the collateral (e.g. AAA/AA bonds) lined up behind allocations, and the buy-out and liquidity options Valterra provides – with your retained ownership of the asset as additional security.
Next steps
Your scenario, in one view
A layer of downside protection on the allocation. A route to liquidity from six months, met as liquidity allows. A defined return – par + 8% p.a. compounding plus the flat 25% kicker once the milestone is reached – supported by a portfolio of assets rather than a single holding. And the same impact as allocating directly, alongside enabling additional capital to flow into impact.

investors@valterra.capital ›Frequently asked questions
What if the asset falls – or fails?
Lower risk than holding direct. A funded buy-out settles at par + 8% p.a. plus the flat 25% kicker even if the asset falls – Valterra's ability to fund the buy-out is itself the milestone being met. Where the milestone is never reached and Valterra cannot fund, recovery is met up to par from distributions. Protection arises from Valterra's diversified asset base, the collateral lined up (including AAA/AA bonds) and the liquidity options.
When can I access liquidity?
A route to liquidity from six months, by request and met as liquidity allows – a route the direct holding simply does not have.
Can I apply the overlay to allocations I've already made?
Yes – it works on existing holdings too. The investor and Valterra agree a value and the terms at that point, and the overlay applies from there, in the same way as a new allocation.
What if I require protection before I allocate?
Commit now and fund once the milestone is in place – as standard, AAA/AA bonds lined up behind the allocation or Valterra holding $100m of assets beyond the position, and tailorable to what your mandate requires. Your capital does not move until it is met.
How is par set?
Par is the negotiated entry value. On a new allocation it is simply the price the investor pays – not a mark to NAV.
What happens to the net surplus returns?
They are retained within the structure – held as a capital reserve and reinvested into subsequent impact allocations. Valterra's asset base will be 100% owned by a foundation (Stichting Valterra Foundation, currently in the final stages of incorporation) and mission-locked, with no mechanism for retained returns to be extracted by equity holders.
How does Valterra make money?
Valterra earns only above what the investor receives – the surplus above the defined return, and the upside above that return if the position is held to the asset's own exit after the milestone. No fees.
