About Us
Company Overview
Spire Capital is an independently owned private investment firm specialising in global private markets. The firm has been searching, sourcing, researching, structuring and investing in global private market investments since 2009 and has built a strong track-record spanning investments in private equity, venture capital, private debt, private infrastructure and private real estate. Led by research, Spire leverages a global network of proprietary relationships to identify and access premium private market funds, co-investments and direct secondary investments to execute investment views.
Spire Capital is proud to serve a large clientele of family offices, private wealth firms and high net worth individuals with over $2.25bn invested since inception. Depending on requirements, local investors can access a range of solutions including the flagship Spire Global Private Markets Portfolio and a curated list of wholesale investments spanning high conviction private equity funds and direct co-investments. Customised mandates are available for investors with AU$100m+.
Australian investors benefit from Spire’s extensive funds management experience to ensure global private market investments are customised to local tax, legal, administration, currency and reporting requirements. Spire’s national Investor Relations team provides local support for researching, onboarding and monitoring Spire investment opportunities.
Investing in private markets requires patience as value is created over the long term. Spire Capital is focused on investment results while recognising that transparency and relationships matter along the journey. Spire’s semi-annual Reporting Season provides interaction with key investment professionals as part of sharing progress of investments over the journey. Monthly and quarterly reporting provide additional insights while Spire’s local Investor Relations team serves client relationships with professionalism and care.
