Investment thesis

Mana Tupu Capital targets high-net-worth individuals and family offices from Asia-Pacific and North America seeking a New Zealand residency pathway alongside investment returns. It runs two vehicles: Venture Fund I, making Series A and B investments in New Zealand growth companies across FinTech, AgriTech and GreenTech; and a PE/SME buyout fund making majority acquisitions of cash-generative New Zealand SMEs using preferred equity and loan note structures. Both are structured for Active Investor Plus (AIP) compliance and managed through an integrated investor portal, emphasizing institutional-grade governance and wealth preservation in a stable OECD economy.
