Proserpine Capital Partners

What Proserpine Capital Partners does

Proserpine Capital Partners Pty Ltd is a Melbourne-based private investment and advisory group that manages private equity investments on behalf of a group of investor partners and provides corporate advisory services to corporate clients in Australia. The firm operates under Australian Financial Services Licence 412935 from its headquarters at Level 7, 333 Collins Street, Melbourne, and pursues a focused investment strategy with a stated 5-year investment horizon.

The firm's core offering is Private Equity Investment Management, supported by four integrated service modules: Investment Structuring (executing efficient deal structures for investors), Board Representation (providing financial and commercial oversight at investee companies), Corporate Advisory Services (M&A and divestiture advice to clients), and Investor Reporting & Monitoring (quarterly investor reports and regular dialogue). PCP follows a five-step model covering identification (using its proprietary network), investment (rigorous due diligence and structuring), management (delivery of agreed strategy with operators), reporting (quarterly investor updates), and divestiture (exit over the 5-year horizon). The firm does not develop proprietary technology and operates as a relationship-driven, deal-by-deal sponsor rather than a scaled platform.

PCP generates revenue through two streams: returns from capital appreciation and exits on portfolio company investments (managed services model) and advisory fees on corporate transactions (professional services model). Disclosed deal activity includes the A$350 million ProTen transaction (August 2018), Polaris Marine Group's acquisitions of Waterway Constructions (November 2019) and Harwood Marine (July 2023), advisory on the Canon Foods Services sale (July 2020), and the December 2025 investment in Fusetec 3D Pty Ltd. Pricing for both management and advisory mandates is negotiated individually and not publicly disclosed.
