Why Australian Private Equity?
2 min watch
Since 2010, we’ve observed strengthening global private equity focus on the Australian PE market as institutional investors increasingly look to deploy dry powder on the back of stronger growth outlook.
Australia stands out for four reasons:
- It has been economically resilient for over three decades
- It delivers an Asian growth nexus with relatively low sovereign risk.
- It offers stable industry structures, with a less competitive investible universe; and
- It is supportive of technology development, innovation and disruption, where value can be created.
