What Saxby Capital does

Saxby Capital is a privately held Australian family office founded in 2011 by Bradley Saxby and headquartered in Hobart, Tasmania. The firm deploys its own capital to take active, long-term equity stakes in operating businesses across six sectors — retail, property, services, technology, resources, and financial services — and holds board seats alongside management rather than operating on traditional fund timelines or redemption cycles.

The portfolio comprises 15+ wholly-owned companies. Retail and food holdings include the Banjos bakery-cafe franchise (over fifty stores nationally), the Liveat thirteen-store fresh food group, The Den cocktail bar, Botanica venue, Tasmanian Coffee Roasters, Clique Coffee, and Tasmanian Wild biltong producer. Property exposure spans a commercial and residential asset portfolio, Keystone Developments (founded 2020 as one of Tasmania's largest residential developers), and Bounnotto Group. The technology vertical includes BFIT (digital point of sale for hospitality and retail), Snug Health (patient-care software), and Get Busi (digital strategy, automation, and e-commerce for small business). Resources are represented by Goshawk Mining, the largest alluvial tin operation in Northeast Tasmania. Financial services exposure includes the Tunguska Fund, a British Virgin Islands–domiciled institutional incubator fund pursuing systematic risk-premium harvesting across directional hedging, volatility arbitrage, and volatility carry, plus related operating entities The Advisory (strategic advisory) and Intelinc (Tasmanian business consulting and mentoring).

Saxby Capital operates a relationship-driven go-to-market focused on a small number of co-investors, operating partners, and professional referrers rather than broad marketing. Investment activity is conducted exclusively with wholesale and sophisticated clients under Section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), with Saxby Capital Investments Pty Ltd registered as a Corporate Authorised Representative (CAR No. 1304856) of Australia National Investment Group Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 522028). The firm documents a core team of two (Managing Director and Financial Analyst) covering both private and public company analysis, private placements, and international allocations, with no external institutional investors or fund structure disclosed.
