WHO WE ARE | WHAT WE DO| WHAT WE ACHIEVE | CASTLE HARLAN | CHAMP VENTURES

CHAMP’s founders have a distinguished record in taking portfolio companies to initial public offerings (IPOs) in Australia, the USA and Asia. They have also completed numerous trade sales and refinancing arrangements that have richly rewarded management teams and investors.

CHAMP’s emphasis on growth strategies is designed to significantly enhance the value of each portfolio company during CHAMP’s ownership. This growth, accompanied by strong management and governance disciplines, prepares each business for a transition of ownership via an IPO process, or to a trade buyer or financial investor. The international reach of CHAMP greatly assists in devising and implementing successful growth and exit strategies.

It is an essential part of the CHAMP philosophy that portfolio company management and employees participate in the value that they create, alongside CHAMP’s investors. As testimony to the track record of success and the implementation of this philosophy, completed investments in the AMIL/CHAMP portfolios have resulted in more than 200 portfolio managers and employees increasing their own wealth by more than $1 million each. Investor participation has been similarly rewarding, with the various AMIL and CHAMP Funds producing top quartile returns, relative to other private equity managers, over the last 17 years.
