The Quadrant story

We opened our doors in 2006, and our founder, Chris Hadley, continues to serve as Executive Chairman. Since then, we have built a Sydney-based team that embodies ambition and collaboration. Together, we have a collective tenure of over 200 years in the business.

Our end-to-end focus and investment approach centres on creating meaningful and successful growth partnerships with likeminded founders, owners, families and their businesses.

We have raised more than $9 billion in commitments across 14 funds, made 97 investments, and achieved 65 successful exits. Our performance is attributed to our founder-aligned strategic approach, which has positioned us as the preferred partner for Australian and New Zealand businesses seeking private equity investments.

Approach

Our focus is on creating value in our portfolio investments through the development of strong, sustainable businesses, and we have an unsurprising emphasis on growth.

The approach is one of close collaboration with management, founders and stakeholders to establish clear business plans and long-term strategic goals, with a view to benefitting all stakeholders.

In all investments we maintain a well-defined exit strategy, enhancing key attributes to maximise value and generate returns that align with market demands. Our track record of executing successful exits through trade sales, secondary buy-outs and initial public offerings speaks for itself.

Importantly, dedicated investment executives are assigned to every portfolio company and we help establish lean and efficient board structures to facilitate swift decision-making processes. Our team bolsters execution and management capabilities within portfolio companies, helps companies attract the talent they need, and scales up existing teams as necessary to support growth and development.
