Alaris Equity Partners

Alaris Equity Partners is a Calgary-based publicly traded investment firm that provides long-term preferred equity and minority common equity capital to profitable private companies, primarily in North America. The business was historically known as Alaris Royalty and now operates through Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust and related corporate entities. Rather than developing therapeutics or healthcare products, Alaris structures financing partnerships with middle-market businesses and receives contractual cash distributions that are typically adjusted annually based on top-line performance metrics. Its portfolio spans several industries, including healthcare services, business services, industrial services, and consumer-facing businesses. For a biotech or healthcare analyst, Alaris is best understood as a financial sponsor and investor in healthcare-related services businesses rather than a life science operating company.
