A recent addition to the company, the Mergers & Acquisitions division aims to identify management teams and their businesses seeking private equity to fund the growth of their businesses.
A patient investor, the division focuses on growing property-centric businesses in a 3 to 5 year timeframe. Mergers & Acquisitions adds value to the management teams and businesses it invests in by providing strategic development, financial and operational advice and identifying subsequent acquisitions that grow enterprise value for the benefit of shareholders.

The division facilitates exit planning for the investments to ensure shareholders achieve their objectives in the anticipated timeframe. In addition, Ashe Morgan Winthrop seeks to add significant value by utilising the full breadth of our property, financial and investment expertise.
A recent example of the division’s activities is the acquisition of a 50 per cent stake in one of Australasia’s largest accommodation operators. A property fund is being established to acquire a substantial amount of freehold property to be exclusively leased to the accommodation business; effectively making Ashe Morgan Winthrop the strategic landlord to this business and ensuring the accommodation operator has access to the expertise required to source, acquire and integrate further properties into the group. |
