Australian Capital Equity

Thorney Investments is one of Australia's most successful private investment groups. Thorney was founded by Alex Waislitz and invests in a variety of listed and unlisted opportunities in Australia and the United States. As a private investing vehicle / family office, Thorney Investments has a lot of flexibility in its investment strategies. A large part of this strategy has involved investments in small (typically sub A$200 million market cap), high-growth businesses listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Since 2013, Thorney also has separate funds open to other investments including Thorney Opportunities (listed on the ASX) and Thorney Technologies. Thorney was founded in 1991 when Richard Pratt, founder of Amcor (the world's leading packaging company), seeded Alex Waislitz with $1.15 million of investment capital.
