Our private equity investment focuses on Australia and New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand are open, diversified economies comprising primary industries, manufacturing and services. Economic activity is dominated by small and mid-sized private companies This creates an opportunity for private equity fund managers to generate attractive returns.
We invest in small and mid-sized Australian and New Zealand private companies, through and alongside a select group of private equity sponsors.
We invest directly in private companies alongside a private equity sponsor (a co-investment), purchase interests in private equity funds at initial fund raising (a primary investment), and (opportunistically) purchase interests in private equity funds from existing investors at a later date (a secondary investment). The investment strategy is control oriented, that is, focusing on buyouts and growth capital investments, with venture capital investments only considered on an opportunistic basis.
