Pacific Equity Partners

About

Pacific Equity Partners manages A$18 billion in assets across multiple private markets strategies, with operations spanning Australia and New Zealand. Founded in 1998, the firm partners with management teams to drive operational improvements and value creation in portfolio companies through acquisition advisory, capital restructuring, and earnings enhancement initiatives.

The firm's investment approach centres on disciplined analytical evaluation and hands-on portfolio company support. PEP conducts resource-intensive due diligence on opportunities and maintains ongoing operational engagement post-investment, working with management to execute growth strategies and improve operating performance. This model reflects a long-term orientation aligned with sustained value creation rather than rapid deployment cycles.

PEP has been a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investing since 2012, integrating ESG assessment into its investment framework and portfolio oversight. The firm's operating model emphasises team-based execution, analytical rigour, and continuity of engagement across deal cycles and market conditions.
