ACF IV secured A$505 million, exceeding its A$500 million target. The fund focuses on control investments in established businesses across Australia and New Zealand that are underperforming or not realizing their full potential, often involving complex corporate carve-outs, non-core subsidiaries, or companies with capital/management constraints.

They employ a hands-on approach, combining capital with operational expertise, focusing on strategic repositioning and efficiency improvements. The typical enterprise value for target companies is between AUD 50 million and AUD 350 million.
