Pacific Equity Partners

Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) is Australasia's largest private markets firm and one of the region's oldest private equity firms, managing over A$14 billion in assets across its private equity and broader private markets strategies. The firm invests across a broad range of sectors including industrial services, consumer products, energy transition, healthcare, transport and logistics, telecommunications, financial technology, retail, and food and beverage, with no investment in start-ups, unprofitable businesses, gambling, or tobacco companies. PEP targets control-oriented management buyouts, corporate carve-outs, take-private transactions, growth capital financings, and expansion capital investments in companies valued up to AU$1 billion, seeking majority ownership positions and typically holding investments for three to six years. The firm invests exclusively in Australia and New Zealand, applying a systematic, experience-driven approach — including proprietary analytical frameworks and a strong team of former operational executives — to identify resilient businesses not achieving their full potential and drive value creation through strategic improvement, bolt-on acquisitions, and operational transformation. Founded in 1998, the firm is headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
