HMC Capital Partners Fund I (Fund), is an Australian-domiciled unlisted fund providing exposure to a high-conviction investment strategy seeking to generate superior risk-adjusted returns.
The Fund will target public and private companies with real asset backing where there is potential to unlock ‘trapped’ value through improved capital allocation and portfolio management.
The Fund is managed by the same team which led the real estate acquisition of Masters from Woolworths Limited in 2017 and who founded HMC Capital, complemented by additional dedicated and high calibre investment professionals.
This Fund will target our highest conviction ideas and leverage our proven investment track record and skills to generate attractive risk adjusted returns which are non-correlated to equity markets over the long-term
