AraCapital Focus |
|
|
Private equity is a maturing and attractive asset class in Australasia. However, smaller Australasian businesses are not well supported commercially. Ara seeks to close the gap toward the smaller end of Australian and New Zealand capital markets, traditionally not a focus of many larger funds, by providing equity and debt financing.
