TAURUS FUNDS MANAGEMENT

Thesis

Taurus Funds Management is a private equity firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The firm specializes in investments within the metals and mining sectors, focusing on small to mid-tier global companies. Taurus Funds Management operates through private equity funds, mining finance, and royalty and streaming finance strategies. The firm's investment strategy involves providing financing solutions across the capital structure for global mid-tier and junior mining companies. They invest in both public and private companies, with a particular focus on early-stage listings due to the typically lower liquidity in the development phase of mining projects. As of November 2023, Taurus Funds Management manages $2.3 billion in committed and drawn capital. In November 2023, Regal Partners announced an agreement to acquire 50% of Taurus Funds Management, which would increase the group's pro forma funds under management (FUM) to $8.0 billion as of September 30, 2023. They have raised over US$2.9 billion in committed capital for various term-based funds, primarily from US state and county pension clients. These funds typically have a term of 7-10 years. Their geographic scope is global, with a focus on companies in various commodities such as steel, base metals, precious metals, energy, and industrial-related resources.
