Hello everyone,
We exclusively represent a proven institutional-grade team based in Sydney, Australia who is expanding into their 3rd fund and are offering qualified US investors to participate as limited partners. Our client is focused on essential infrastructure services (regulated waste, water infrastructure, and technical testing). Each targeted investment is a lower middle market founder-owned business. Our client is seeking additional capital totaling US$55 million (minimum investment is US$100,000) to complete the acquisitions in their current pipeline (which is expected to grow circa ~10-fold inredactedwith additional acquisitions coming on board).
This current fund is targeting an annual 30% Gross IRR (26% Net) by driving returns through operational transformation instead of aggressive financial leverage. This annual 30% gross target in infrastructure relies on a unique highly non-competitive market window and a grueling data-driven sourcing effort including:
- Bilateral Value Arbitrage: They are systematically originating deals at a 4-6x core entry multiple range by engaging directly with aging founders who have aligned succession paths.
- Source Method: They have entirely bypassed any broker-led competitive investment processes.
- Source Machine: This isn't a theoretical strategy. Our client has mapped a universe of 68,200 Australian companies, filtered down to 300+ direct outreach conversations, and held 80 deep-dive direct founder meetings. This velocity has allowed them to quickly lock down a US$20M proprietary indicative pipeline, creating an immediate need to deploy additional capital.
- Institutional Stewards: The strategy is built on a micro-cap execution playbook but run by seasoned institutional veterans. The investment committee is comprised of former senior private equity and investment banking leaders from Goldman Sachs, Carlyle Group, and Lazard.
