Origin Capital Group

What Origin Capital Group does

Origin Securities Pty Limited, operating as Origin Capital Group, is an independent Australian corporate finance advisory firm headquartered in Sydney at Level 15, Grosvenor Place, 225 George Street. Founded in 1998, the firm operates under Australian Financial Services Licence No. 237662 and serves both Australian and international public and private companies with three integrated service lines: mergers and acquisitions advisory (acquisitions, divestments, mergers and takeovers), capital raising (private equity placement and debt arranging), and strategic advice (corporate strategy, industry structures and strategic alliances). Sector coverage spans agribusiness and food, energy and resources, infrastructure and power, consumer goods and services (FMCG), and healthcare, alongside a broader "other sectors" category.

The firm runs a relationship-driven advisory model built around a small senior team of approximately 10 members including Tony Harwood, Frank Mattiussi, Bernadette Anese, Alister McConnell, Tom Lotz, Paul Rintoule, Chris Morley, Ayush Dallakoti, Adam Welsh and Carlos Crowley. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, and no digital product surface; service delivery is conducted person-to-person. The firm's value proposition emphasises trust, independent thinking, and willingness to "go the extra mile," distinguishing it from larger full-service investment banks.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services fees, primarily contingent advisory fees on completed transactions supplemented by retainers and arrangement fees on capital raising mandates. There are no disclosed revenue figures, no external funding, no parent entity, and no known institutional investors. Marketing is exclusively relationship-based, with no disclosed digital channels. Distribution is direct from senior partners to enterprise clients, with international mandates supported through stated local and international networks rather than through branded overseas offices.

Broad incumbents

• Moelis & Company: Global independent investment bank offering M&A, restructuring, and capital markets advisory. Operates in Australia and competes directly with Origin for mid-market M&A mandates, though at meaningfully greater scale.
• Rothschild & Co: Global independent financial advisory group with deep mid-market M&A and capital advisory capabilities, including in Australia. Comparable service mix (M&A, capital raising, strategic advice) but with substantially broader international footprint and resources.
• Lazard: Global investment bank with strong Australian M&A advisory presence. Comparable as it provides M&A, capital raising, and strategic advice to Australian corporates across multiple sectors, though at a much larger scale and with international reach Origin cannot match.
