ABOUT US

The Australian Investment Council is the voice of private capital in Australia. Our members partner with businesses across every sector of the market to help them grow, while supporting their local communities and creating new employment opportunities. Businesses backed by private capital investment make a significant contribution to growing the nation’s economy. Private capital investment can involve a broad range of different active management strategies, encompassing equity and debt investment into small, new and innovative businesses, through to unlisted family businesses and buyouts of large listed corporations. Here in Australia, private capital investment has played a central role in the growth and expansion of thousands of businesses, which when combined represents a multi-billion dollar contribution to the Australian

economy.

As the leading voice for private capital investment, we support our industry through advocacy on important policy issues, maintaining a robust co-regulatory framework through a code of conduct and delivering market-leading knowledge and skills development programs.
