Australian Equity Partners is backed by experienced investors and executives, looking to acquire and operate an outstanding Australian business for the long-term.
We appreciate what business owners have built, often over decades, and we seek to preserve and grow their legacy.
Our approach
Australian Equity Partners is a unique evergreen investment fund that will make a single investment for a long-term hold.
We have a particular focus on franchising, though we are able to invest across different industries and business models.
Led by Ivan Milutinovic, the fund is backed by a group of sixteen experienced investors and advisors from Australia, the USA, and Europe.
