HMC Capital (ASX: HMC) is pleased to announce the launch of HMC Capital Partners Fund I (the Fund), an Australian-domiciled unlisted wholesale fund providing exposure to a high-conviction investment strategy seeking to generate superior risk-adjusted returns. The Fund will target public and private companies in Australia and New Zealand with real asset backing where there is potential to unlock ‘trapped’ value through improved capital allocation and portfolio management.

HMC Capital CEO and Managing Director, David Di Pilla, said “The establishment of HMC Capital Partners Fund I is another important milestone in our mission to become Australia’s leading diversified alternative asset manager. This Fund will leverage our proven investment track record and ability to originate and execute large complex transactions to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors.

Our prediction that 2022 would present a challenging investment environment has been realised in recent months. While a natural instinct in this environment is to allocate to cash or do nothing, we believe that attractive opportunities are now emerging and that a portfolio allocation to the Fund will allow investors to benefit from exposure to these opportunities.”
