Australian private equity is increasingly attracting foreign investment, although it remains far behind both the US and the UK. Nick Abrahams and Tim Woodforde of Andersen Legal provide a general background to private equity in Australia, including the competitive landscape, fund structures currently available and the government's involvement in developing the industry.
The asset class has enjoyed considerable growth over the last few years with the amount of new capital raised in 2000 standing at AU$2bn - almost nine times that raised in 1995. This growth has been driven by better returns than other investments, the success of private equity overseas and government involvement.
