Silc Consolidated Pty Ltd

What Silc Consolidated Pty Ltd does

The SILC Group (Silc Consolidated Pty Ltd) is an Australian financial services firm founded in February 2011 by Koby Jones and Michelle Tay, headquartered in Melbourne with a Sydney office and a recent expansion into Malaysia. The company operates as an independent trustee, fund administrator and AFSL licence-holder for wholesale managed investment schemes spanning private credit, private equity, unlisted property, infrastructure, and hedge funds, serving mid-market fund managers and asset sponsors with A$50M–A$1B in assets under management. As of the latest reporting, 19 funds are publicly named under supervision alongside 23+ mandates referenced on the homepage, and SILC also runs proprietary fund vehicles such as the SILC Credit Fund, SILC Private Equity Fund and SILC Property Development Fund. The group is bootstrapped, founder-owned, debt-free, and holds AFSL 407100 plus a second AFSL, with ten wholly-owned operating subsidiaries covering portfolio solutions, fund administration, capital solutions, property, specialised finance, nominees, technologies, and fiduciary services.

SILC's technology stack centres on a digital alternative assets investment platform used for investor onboarding, registry, reporting, and BPAY-based subscription processing. In October 2025 it launched what it describes as Australia's first automated BPAY payment reconciliation system for managed fund investors, co-developed with The LAB Group and supported by Westpac. In April 2024 the group partnered with Tokeny to pilot the tokenisation of alternative assets (Real World Asset tokenisation), and operates a client portal via PFS Cloud. The platform underpins both the B2B service offering (trustee, administration, AFSL corporate authorised representative, security trustee and facility agency) and a digital marketplace/secondary exchange capability for alternative investment products.

SILC generates revenue across five streams: managed-service fees from wholesale trustee and custody work; professional-service fees from fund administration and registry; transaction fees from capital raising/placement and loan syndication/facility agency; and licensing royalties from AFSL corporate authorised representative arrangements with white-label capability. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, tailored to fund size, structure complexity and the service bundle. Go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales targeting fund managers and asset sponsors, supported by referral partnerships with specialist legal (Hall & Wilcox) and accounting (HLB Mann Judd) firms, thought-leadership editorial, earned media, industry events, and SILC's founding/chairing role in Wholesale Investor Advocacy Australia (WIAA).
