Investment Philosophy
We are focused on sourcing compelling debt investment
opportunities across the Australian and New Zealand FinTech
markets not accessible to most investors.
Our investment philosophy is centred on capital preservation
and delivering long term value through exposure to investment
opportunities not generally available to the public that provide
low volatility and low correlation to traditional asset classes.
