About

Tanarra is an Australian based asset manager focused on three strategies: Credit, Private Equity and Ventures. We manage the family office of John Wylie, one of Australia's most well regarded investment bankers and investors, alongside third party capital. Tanarra Credit Partners invests in senior and mezzanine loans across Asia Pacific in companies with strong fundamentals and management teams. Tanarra Private Equity looks to acquire high-growth, well managed businesses in the region. Tanarra Ventures invests in earlier stage ventures in Oceania, including in hardware and soft technology. We have a local presence in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Auckland, Hong Kong, Tokyo. Our team members are true partners, with substantial skin in the game. With our patient approach to capital, focused on building genuine value rather than realizing near term returns, we have helped our portfolio companies to build market-leading, global businesses. We believe that the best management should be left to do just that - manage. Our approach is focused around genuine partnerships with adept managers, encouraging them to leverage our substantial operational and transaction experience to build great businesses. We are focused on relationships and working together with management teams and fellow shareholders to drive optimal decision making.
