For decades, Australia has stood out as a beacon of certainty in an ever-changing world, outpacing global peers in growth, innovation and way of life.
Its stability, strong institutions and robust financial system cements Australia’s appeal as an investment safe haven. But Australia is more than this. It’s a resource-rich nation and renewable energy powerhouse, with thriving commerce and retail sectors and a vibrant innovation ecosystem.
As a global asset manager and Queensland's sovereign investor, with 35 years’ experience in managing a diverse portfolio of Australian assets and exposures, we partner with our clients to unlock Australia’s immense potential.

"From geopolitical tensions to climate change, an asset allocator can navigate an increasingly complex world by seeking diversification in countries like Australia, which offers robust institutions and high growth rates."

A deep understanding of the Australian investment landscape
From our origins with a single, inaugural client – the Queensland Government – we have grown into one of Australia’s largest asset managers. For more than 30 years, we have used our intimate knowledge of the Australian investment landscape to unlock investment opportunities for our clients across Infrastructure, Real Estate, Liquid Markets, Private Equity, Agriculture, and Private Debt.
- We operate offices in Australia’s three largest capital cities, with a dedicated team of 870 staff located across the country.
- We manage 16 globally significant infrastructure assets in Australia and New Zealand, including A$7.6 billion in energy transition assets.
- We manage ~40 real estate assets across the east coast of Australia, including some of the country’s busiest shopping centres, prime office buildings, and productive industrial assets.
- We are leaders in the Queensland startup ecosystem, leveraging deep networks with government, world-class universities and research institutes, accelerators, and VC funds.
- We own a majority interest in ~6 million hectares of agricultural land across 14 pastoral properties in 2 Australian states.
- We are one of Australia’s most experienced liquid markets operators, managing over A$23 billion in cash and fixed income assets.
"Australian credit markets are now deeper and more liquid, offering premiums against major markets like the US, resulting in a surge of offshore investor interest."
