About

Anchorage Capital Partners (Australia) is a specialised private equity firm that invests in businesses operating below their full potential or undergoing a significant transformation. We seek active partnerships with management teams via control investments where we can apply our unique combination of capital, operational expertise and change disciplines. We look for companies headquartered in Australia, New Zealand or South East Asia; minimum of $100M in revenues; with an Enterprise Value 'sweet spot' of $25M to $250M, with the ability to make larger investments if required. We invest in all sectors, except direct property, direct mining, tech/biotech and start-ups or early stage. We are highly flexible regarding deal structure and are able to purchase either equity or debt.
