Anacacia Capital’s priority is to build a portfolio of quality assets that seek to produce risk-adjusted results to investors that materially exceed comparable public equity market returns and achieve absolute returns commensurate with the risk of private equity investing.  We are focused on building the long term value of businesses.  Our investment criteria typically focus on:

		Strong cash flow businesses (usually $2m+ existing earnings on $10m+ revenue)
		Outstanding management teams that would like to invest alongside us
		Succession issues where the owners are looking to retire or are otherwise passive
		Companies that require capital and support for acquisitions and growth
		People that prefer a private confidential transaction at fair value
		Australian or New Zealand based businesses
		Companies and management that are honest and aspire to be socially responsible
		Opportunities where our team can add strategic insight and capital to support management to develop the business

Can money grow on trees? An acacia tree adapts to its Australian arid environment. It grows the spectacular national gold wattle flower each year yet it also produces thin green leaves to resist times of drought.  This is similar to successful investment strategies that rely upon management’s specialised knowledge of the local environment to obtain sustainable growth while mitigating potential risks.  Anacacia Capital’s strong roots into the Australian business community and private equity industry – together with its first class team, expertise and processes – provide the firm with a competitive advantage to aspire to be the partner of choice for limited partners, SME management teams, vendors and private equity stakeholders.  We look to maximise cashflows over the long term from our portfolio businesses.

Anacacia was the first independent Australian private equity fund to sign up to the UN Principles of Responsible Investing (UNPRI).  We embed these aspirational principles into our investment philosophy in a way that helps manage risk and maximise opportunities in environmental, social and governance issues to seek the best possible risk-adjusted returns.
