CHAMP a history of principal investment dating back to 1987 and over that time its primary investment objective has been to achieve long-term capital appreciation in businesses located in, or having material business centering on, Australia and New Zealand.

Since 2008 CHAMP has also had an office in Singapore. This has provided a distinct differentiator and this presence in Southeast Asia, and ability to focus on Australia’s closest trading partners in Southeast Asia, enables CHAMP to invest in unique opportunities and accelerate portfolio company growth outside Australia far more effectively than would otherwise be the case.

This "Australia Plus" investment focus has developed over nearly 30 years as CHAMP portfolio companies have built partnerships with suppliers, customers and potential trade buyers, and developed deep networks at all levels of the business communities in these target markets.

CHAMP takes an active approach to its investments, recognising that strong earnings growth is the greatest driver of value creation.

CHAMP is equally proud of its record of partnering with top flight management teams, and sharing the rewards of the success of developing portfolio companies with these teams. These programmes have created approximately 300 millionaires from portfolio company management team members over the history of the CHAMP Group.

CHAMP's investors are institutions from around the world, many of whom are now multi-fund investors with the group.
