Australis Investment Management Company Pty Ltd (Australis) has established an Investment Committee responsible for assessing and approving complex or material client transactions, as well as evaluating minority equity participation opportunities where appropriate. The committee exists to ensure that any major decisions affecting a client or fund manager are reviewed independently, transparently and with robust governance. This gives our clients confidence that complex transactions and strategic opportunities are assessed carefully, consistently and in line with best-practice AFSL standards.
The Investment Committee is comprised of the CEO (Simon Burge, Committee Chair), the Business Analyst (Jackson Reynolds), and the two Non-Executive Responsible Managers (Grant Kull and Bryce Reynolds). Each member contributes a distinct area of expertise spanning governance, compliance, operational analysis and strategic decision-making.
The Committee considers matters that may have significant commercial, operational or compliance implications for Australis or its Corporate Authorised Representatives. These may include transactions that are high-risk, non-standard, involve new product structures, require deeper diligence, or propose strategic equity arrangements. When assessing such matters, the Committee focuses on alignment with AFSL obligations, regulatory requirements and risk management principles.
