Over the past 45 years the value of intrinsic assets has grown to represent over 90% of primary company value. Yet, many investment portfolios are still under-exposed to companies that can demonstrate strong, defensible intrinsic assets.
Investment Strategy & Performance Objective
Seeking strong risk adjusted returns from carefully selected early stage private Australian companies?
GCC will invest in companies who have not yet fully identified, valued or managed the risks and opportunities around their intrinsic assets. It will assist them to identify their key intrinsic assets, reduce any associated risks and therefore to profit from the uplift in value. Intrinsic Assets include brands, trade secrets, know-how, content, code, data, internet assets, patents, trade marks, design rights, regulatory approvals, standards compliance and plant variety rights.
The future established portfolio will be diversified across 6 to 12 investments on a rolling basis, subject to fund inflows and appropriate investment opportunities being identified.
Holdings will be direct, including investment in deal specific SPVs. The Fund would not seek exposure through other managed funds. The Fund aims to have a diversified portfolio based on the growth stage of the companies in which it invests or is exposed. Investment opportunities are expected to be identified and sourced through the well-established networks and relationships of the Investment Manager and fund investors.
Investment Economics / Targeted returns
While we look to de-risk any and all investments, a medium to higher risk level is typical for Early Stage, Seed and Series A deals. Our early access to deal flow will allow us to have an increased level of exposure and access to the companies to steer them away from costly mistakes. This same early investment and intervention allows for large returns on successful companies.
