"I had the pleasure of attending the Growth Capital Forum at
the end of February in Sydney.
It is always good to get exposure to new
initiatives and people in the ecosystem. It is an opportunity to get an
independent view of what is happening in the market,
and to connect with new and familiar faces.
We note some of the
larger funds have set up new technology funds doing minority investments.
Given the market conditions there was definitely a theme around adding value to
businesses, building better businesses and understanding what the business will
look like post investment.
M&A continued to be an important growth
strategy with a view to geographic, product and channel growth etc. The
conference was sponsored in part by CEFC (Clean Energy Finance Corporation)
underpinning the importance of the energy transition (technology and capital)
that Australia is undertaking."
We have included some images of the event below. For more information, please contact us.

McCormick Harris Insurance Update

"The tide is turning...in your favour - Summer Newsletter"
|
|

|
|
"Ask any small business owner what
keeps them awake at night, and you’re
bound to get the same answer: rising
costs. Wages, rentals, utilities, the list
goes on. Insurance, long under the
radar, has added to budget strains in the
past few years.
But relief is here. After a long period
of premiums rising sharply, they are
beginning to level out and, in some
cases, fall significantly, according to
various industry reports." |
