CPE Capital (CPEC) is Australasia's most experienced private capital manager. It has been managing institutional private capital investments since 1987, having made 86 platform investments across $4.5 billion in funds.
CPEC undertakes control buyout transactions, enters into founder partnerships and provides growth investments for mid-market companies in Australasia, including those which possess significant offshore operations or ambitions.
CPEC’s long history of sustainable performance across all investment cycles is based on its ability to identify situations and opportunities that offer growth on a risk adjusted basis.
Experience, flexibility, nimbleness and a specialist functional team structure are CPEC’s core attributes.
CPEC was founded by industry pioneers, Bill Ferris AC and Joe Skrzynski AO, but since 2014 the firm has been managed by its next generation, making it Australasia’s first successful private equity leadership transition.
