Maui Capital has a clear understanding of why its team members have been successful previously and how it can adapt those methods to achieve success going forward.

Commitment to creating value

Maui Capital will commit substantial energy, focus and expertise to building, growing and improving businesses, in combination with excellent management teams. It believes that long term success requires more than buying and selling well alone, and that out-performance beyond the short-term relies on the ability to consistently create value within each investee business.

A focus on people and relationships

Maui Capital's fundamental philosophy is that businesses are about people and that successful private investment starts and ends with successfully partnering the very best critical people. Maui Capital looks to collaborate with key senior management, founding owners and partners who are capable, committed and of a like mind, and aims to create and maintain exceptional (and recurring) working relationships.

Seeing opportunities where others don’t and innovative investing

Maui Capital credits previous successes of its team members with thoughtful, positive and innovative investing, without compromising core investment principles.

Being partner and counterparty of first choice

The reputation for effectiveness, fairness, user-friendliness and value-add is critical to Maui Capital. Maui Capital’s aim is to be an investment partner and counterparty of first choice in the local market.

Taking the long-term view

Maui Capital believes the private equity industry, in particular, has the opportunity to create value through patient long-term investment decisions.

Exploiting deal flow

Maui Capital is an 'on the ground' independent business with extensive relationships, contacts, know-how and presence in the New Zealand market. Accordingly, Maui Capital believes it is well-positioned to access a flow of investment opportunities from a range of channels.
