COMMITTED CAPITAL is an international private equity and advisory firm committed to deploying both financial and Executive Capital™ resources to create superior long term underlying value in the businesses in which we invest our time and/or our money.

What sets Committed Capital apart from the wider private equity market is our emphasis on applying both financial capital and executive capability to businesses in our core areas of expertise – the Executive Capital™ model.

Rather than focusing solely on investing financial capital, Committed Capital has focused on assembling the comparatively scarce resource of executive talent to offer a team of skilled business executives with international operational and advisory experience, supported by a business infrastructure with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore and London.

Our team has a proven track record in attracting valuable proprietary deal flow in both Australian and European markets.

Over the past few years, Committed Capital has developed a pipeline of opportunities for the establishment of industry specific funds in logistics; financial services; and advertising, marketing and media each with a target enterprise value in the range of US$50-100m.
