Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) is a private equity investment firm focusing on transactions in Australia and New Zealand. PEP invests across a range of industries and sectors, in turnaround and growth capital transactions. By 2023, The Australian Financial Review reported PEP to be Australia's largest private equity firm. [1]

Contents

It is also said to be Australia's oldest private equity company. [2] The firm, based in Sydney, was founded in 1998 by Rickard Gardell, Paul McCullagh, Simon Pillar and Tim Sims. All but McCullagh previously worked together as executives at Bain & Company. [3] [4]

PEP has generated several buyout funds for investors. By 2022, these funds had $8.6 billion under management. [5] By 2025, these funds had $14 billion under management. [6]

In 2023, the firm launched its first 'Gateway fund,' a mechanism allowing private investors to access global private equity investing with reduced initial investment requirements. The Gateway fund has been delivering returns of up to 20% for two consecutive years. [6] In this approach, capital is distributed into PEP funds alongside funds from high-end global private equity firms such as Bain Capital and Leonard Green & Partners. [7]

A new buyout fund, PEP Fund VII, opened in 2024 [1] [8] and closed in 2025 at a hard cap of 3.2 billion Australian dollars, equivalent to US$2.1 billion. The investors included asset managers in North America and Asia. Recent takeovers include Johns Lyng, which carries out insurance-related repair work. It accepted a takeover offer worth around A$1.1 billion. [9]

Investments

Since its establishment in 1998, the firm is understood to have completed 40 private equity buyouts by 2023. [2] Apart from buying and operating large companies, PEP has made 100 "bolt-on" acquisitions in the same 25-period, these are smaller firms, bought and merged with portfolio companies, for their strategic value. [10] Some of the firm's recent investments have included Patties Foods, [11] iNova Pharmaceuticals, [12] the medical devices group LifeHealthcare, [13] the smart metering company IntelliHUB, [14] and Evolution Healthcare. [15]

PEP claims to have "at least doubled" investor monies in 12 of its previous 13 deals, which have included the purchase, restructure and resale of several Australian and New Zealand companies such as Spotless, Hoyts and Frucor. [2] [16] The one business in this set that did not double its value was Patties, being resold at a multiple of 1.7, due to low post-Covid earnings for that food group. [17] [8]

Investment products

PEP invites investors to access the value their corporate acquisitions generate. This is through five product sets, described as "investment strategies." [18] [19]

  1. Private Equity—traditional flagship buyout fund. [20] Its most recent buyout being the allied health company Healthia in December 2023. [20] As of 2024, there have been seven funds in this strategy, of which Fund I, II, III, IV, V have been completed, Fund VI is fully invested, and Fund VII is open. [20] [2]
  2. Secure Assets—spun out of private equity fund, focusing on infrastructure-like companies with protected cashflows. [21] Two funds have been established in the strategy, SAF I and SAF II. [22] [21] One of the investors in the latter is the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. [22]
  3. Capital Solutions—a private debt strategy, sold with management input, plus senior secured loans. [19] The funds in this strategy offer a portfolio of loans offered to mid sized businesses in Australia and New Zealand. [19]
  4. Single Assets—single assets from co-mingled fund, put into its own continuation vehicle. [23] Target investments in these group have included Intellihub. [23]
  5. PEP Gateway—a portfolio of premium global private equity funds with a lower initial investment requirement. [24] Here, private investors may access a "fund of funds", exposing them to larger private equity outfits such as Bain Capital, Brookfield Corporation and Carlyle Group. [23]

PEP Gateway is the firm's most recent investment strategy, launched publicly in 2022. [23]

History

Pacific Equity Partners is based in Deutsche Bank Place, close to Sydney Harbour Deutsche Bank Place (30855148452).jpg
Pacific Equity Partners is based in Deutsche Bank Place, close to Sydney Harbour

Pacific Equity Partners was founded in Sydney, Australia, in 1998. [69] The founders came from the consulting and banking sectors: Rickard Gardell, Tim Sims, Simon Pillar all from Bain & Company; and Paul McCullagh, from Salomon Brothers. [70]

The company's NZ$50 million deal to purchase Frucor was partially funded by Bain Capital [71] and helped by Mitt Romney, who worked for Bain Capital at the time. [72] This became A$300 million for the company's first fund. Pacific Equity Partners sold half of their Frucor stake at an initial public offering, valuing the company at NZ$200 million. The remaining half was sold to Danone at a valuation of NZ$300 million. PEP investors made over 10 times a return on their investment in the deal. [71]

In two early deals with New Zealand–based Frucor (1998) and Vertex plastics (2000–2002), within months following an initial public offering, the companies lowered profit targets and saw share prices initially fall, until recovering after a subsequent takeover. The New Zealand Herald wrote that Vertex "remains a public relations headage for the firm". [71]

The New Zealand Herald in 2007 reported favorable reviews of PEP's management style from leaders of companies that it had taken private, including from Guardian Healthcare, Communications Group, Tegel Foods, and Griffin's Foods. According to them, PEP was focused on long-term revenue growth and profitability for the involved companies, and not on "financial wizardry". [71]

In 2008, PEP Fund IV closed with $2.7 billion in equity capital. [73]

In 2015, PEP raised PEP Fund V for A$ 2,100,000,000. It exited in 2023 and earned investors a 100% return. The fund made and realized eight profitable investments in eight years, an unusual feat. [2]

In 2017, co-founder McCullagh left the partnership but remained at the firm as an adviser. [70]

In 2017, PEP took legal action against private equity firm Adamantem Capital, claiming that its founders, former PEP employees, used confidential information at their new company. The legal action was denied and the court ruled that PEP must pay all legal costs. [74]

In 2020, PEP raised A$2.5 billion for PEP Fund VI.

In 2023, the Australian Financial Review reported that PEP created a Gateway fund for high–net worth individuals to be able to invest in a suite of private equity funds from sources including PEP, Bain Capital, and Nordic Capital, and Leonard Green & Partners. [75] [76]

In 2025, the company closed PEP Fund VII for A$3.2 billion. [77]

Culture

According to the Australian Financial Review, Pacific Equity Partners focuses on "apprenticeship" style modeling, hiring only junior staff and training them over time to build a strong internal culture. The investing decisions and compensation are based on a team level to avoid "hero culture". [2]

PEP screens about 120 buyout candidates per year and typically executes two buyout deals per year. PEP focuses on purchasing companies in mature, stable markets with a potential for growth of at least double earnings, with an exit path after five to seven years. [2] [77]

The company's headquarters are in Deutsche Bank Place, Sydney. [78] [79]
