Overview
A. Australis Partners, a Delaware limited liability company formed on November 3, 2014, is
an investment adviser located in New York, NY. The Firm’s principal owners are Enrique
Bascur, Juan Pablo Pallordet, and Alex Manzo.
Australis Partners is affiliated with Australis Partners (Cayman GP) LP (the “General
Partner”) that serves as the general partner to Australis Partners Fund LP (the “Fund”). The
Firm also engages Australis Partners SpA (“Australis Partners Chile”) for certain sub-
advisory services, a Chilean corporation whose principal owners are Armando Borda and
Cristian Celis and which is affiliated with Australis Partners. Australis Partners Chile
provides discretionary investment management services to the Firm pursuant to the Firm’s
investment advisory agreement with Australis Partners Chile. Please see more information
about Australis Partners Chile in Item 10 of this brochure.
B. Australis Partners serves as an investment adviser to the Fund and certain co-investment
vehicles (collectively with the Fund, the “Clients”). The Clients are pooled investment
vehicles that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “Investment Company Act”), pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment
Company Act. The Firm provides discretionary investment management services to the
Clients in accordance with the related limited partnership agreement, offering
memorandum, investment management agreement and/or other such agreements (the
“Offering Documents”).
The Firm’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by making
equity and related investments in companies (each such entity a “Portfolio Company” and
collectively, the
“Portfolio Companies,” and each such investment a “Portfolio
Investment”) which have their principal place of business in, or derive their revenue
primarily from operations in, Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile, and selectively in other
countries in Latin America, in privately negotiated transactions. The Firm pursues a
flexible investment strategy with an opportunistic approach to invest in growing companies
driven by broader long-term sustainable market trends. Australis Partners targets growing
companies that have a proven ability to increase demand from consumers for energy, food
and protein and natural resources and effect an expansion in infrastructure.
The Firm focuses on primarily seeking to make control investments or significant minority
investments in middle market businesses based in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile
operating in industries benefiting from positive macroeconomic trends and driving growth.
These industries include, but are not limited to, energy, natural resources, infrastructure
and consumer demand driven businesses.
C. Australis Partners does not tailor advisory services to the individual or particular needs of
investors in the Clients. Such investors will accept the terms of advisory services as set
forth in the Offering Documents. The Firm has broad investment authority with respect to
the Fund and, as such, investors should consider whether the investment objectives of the
Fund are in line with their individual objectives and risk tolerance prior to investment.
D. Australis Partners does not participate in wrap fee programs.
E. As of the December 31, 2023, Australis Partners had $663,419,389 in regulatory assets
