About
A private equity fund with an Australian focus. We take a collaborative approach to investing, both with the business we invest in, as well as with investment partners. We seek to develop strong relationships with founders and managers to deliver value and growth. We always aim to provide support to management were we can add or introduce value, without encroaching on any managers day to day operational expertise. Our investment approach is flexible, we invest both directly, or through consortiums.
We seek out businesses with an operating profit of between $5 - $20 million p.a. We look for business with strong management, in an industry that can provide ample room for growth over a three to five year period. Our investment can assist businesses through succession planning, pre IPO funding, organic and acquisition expansion, management buy-outs/buy-ins or public-to-private transition
