Investment thesis

PEP invests across a wide range of industries in companies whose principal operations are in Australia and New Zealand, targeting mid-market businesses identified as not achieving their full potential yet resilient to external market forces. Its private equity strategy pursues a 20%+ gross IRR through closed-ended funds, avoiding start-ups and unprofitable businesses. The Secure Assets Fund targets protected-cashflow businesses in energy, utilities, digital, telecommunications, transport, logistics, waste, water, social and agricultural infrastructure, aiming for 14-18% gross IRR. PEP Credit provides secured debt capital across high-yield, core-income and cash-management fund offerings. PEP Gateway offers individual investors access to global private equity. The firm excludes tobacco, gaming, gambling, weapons and coal.
