Reach Alternative Investments is a modern investment portal for Australians to access the best global private equity funds. We’re a team of experts, who care about opening access to this exclusive asset class in a prudent & responsible way.
We have made it our mission to make investing in private markets easier, better and safer for everyone.
We provide access to ‘wholesale clients’, being ‘sophisticated’ or ‘professional’ investors in Australia (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)). Such investors will be able to access our funds for as little as AU $15,000 into a fund.
Across the year, we research and curate a select number of top-tier private market funds from the world’s leading fund managers to offer you. We then create the legal structure here in Australia to offer those opportunities to you. Through our investor portal, you can see those opportunities, can view the details of each fund and our research, engage with our investment team, decide whether to invest, sign all documents and receive tax reporting, all in one place. Simply, you can build your entire private market portfolio through Reach Alternative Investments selected from a list of the best funds globally.
We believe it is important to keep pricing simple, transparent and fair.

Private equity has historically demonstrated strong returns and low correlation to public markets, providing growth potential and a buffer against market downturns.
Alternative investments, including private equity funds can potentially provide better returns than traditional investments. Our fund managers can access unique opportunities and strategies such as buyouts, venture capital, growth equity, and many other opportunities which may result in higher returns over the long term.
Many assume that the lockup period of private equity means you do not see any money until the end of the term of the investment (sometimes, ten years). However, in many private equity funds, investors typically receive distributions each year over. From our analysis of data available through Preqin, distributions can start as early as year 2 and many see their initial capital returned by year 6. Returns are realised through exit strategies such as acquisitions, initial public offerings (IPOs), or secondary sales.
Our members can access additional information and supporting documents on specific funds through our investor portal. You can also reach out to a member of our team who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
