Venture capital and private equity
The New Zealand Advantage
» A pipeline to some of the world’s best investment opportunities with access to a portfolio of high tech, high growth, globally competitive companies.
» Funds focused on the global market with unique access advantages at a regional level.
» Many companies currently constrained by the local capital market’s inability to fund their growth.
A better probability
New Zealand’s funds market is poised for growth with an established pipeline of opportunities and a reputation as a hot bed of innovation-inspired entrepreneurship. At the forefront is a group of small, ambitious, high growth and globally focused companies generating new ideas that challenge the expected. They have can-do attitudes and an ability to make more from less. Most companies target the global market from day one; others have rapidly outgrown their home markets and expanded via an enviable network of free trade agreements into China and ASEAN countries, and through closer economic ties with Australia. The New Zealand private equity and venture capital markets face the challenge of raising enough capital for the rapidly expanding requirements of these companies, offering a deal flow pipeline to reap the rewards of some of the world’s best investment opportunities.
Significant opportunities exist for international funds and organisations to invest in New Zealand’s private equity and venture capital funds. Selected funds have strong Government support via the New Zealand Venture Investment Fund (NZVIF), which co-invests to provide critical backing for young New Zealand companies with high growth potential.
