Consumer Fund Hero Banner

Private Equity Consumer Health Fund

Crescent Capital Partners’ Consumer Health Fund is focussed on lower mid-market businesses in Australia and New Zealand which operate at the intersection of health and wellness categories. 

With a specialist team of consumer sector investment professionals and Crescent’s-track record of enduring strong investment results, we have created a platform to connect investors with outstanding mid-market businesses in the consumer and healthcare ecosystems of Australia and New Zealand.  

Crescent’s Consumer Health fund intends to capitalise on the mega trends in the health and wellness sectors that have been growing over the years. Our extensive and unrivalled healthcare experience in private equity, as well as our existing investment processes and deal flow access will help identify the global category leaders of tomorrow.

Our Strategy

Our focus is to partner with inspiring leaders to help build strong businesses and brands that matter, creating meaningful equity value as a result.

Over the years, we have observed how small and medium sized consumer and healthcare businesses can achieve incredible results when they are given access to the resources, capabilities and talents typically only available to larger companies.

Our approach is to build on the simple principle of enabling founders and management teams to thrive while focusing collectively on enhancing their company’s scale and processes, resulting in a sustainable competitive advantage.

The Crescent team brings industry specific knowledge as well as market leading industry networks and tactics that have helped numerous consumer brands grow and thrive.

In our partnerships, we strive to bring sector expertise as well as passion, commitment, humility, and integrity. We partner with people we admire to help build enduring brands loved by consumers everywhere.

Target Sectors

We target sectors that benefit from global secular tail winds and where consumer loyalty, brand/product differentiation and repeat purchase behaviours matter. These factors are key to generate enduring competitive advantage that can last for decades, resulting in significant shareholder value.

While we constantly evaluate a broad range of investment opportunities in the consumer space, we prioritize the following sectors:

  • Consumer Health and Consumerised Healthcare
  • Personal Care, Skincare and Beauty
  • Food and Beverages
  • Consumer Services (Hospitality, Travel and Lifestyle)
  • Pet Products and Services

Investment Criteria

We invest in proven and fast-growing consumer brands in sizeable categories. Our flexible mandate allows us to invest through various deal structures in companies ranging from $10 to $100+ million in revenue. At Crescent, we look for the following attributes:

  • Inspiring and collaborative leaders
  • Sizeable market opportunity
  • Brand/product affinity and loyalty
  • Strong growth and proven ability to grow profitably

Investment Team

At Crescent we are renowned for our specialist teams focussed on building successful partnerships with inspiring businesses in Australia and New Zealand.

Our Consumer Health team is led by a unique mix of consumer and healthcare investors who bring unparalleled industry insights and capabilities. We are passionate about what we do and bring deep expertise and knowledge across various pockets of the consumer space accumulated in both domestic and international markets.
