THE AUSTRALIAN INVESTMENT COUNCIL SUPPORTS SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTING AND WORKPLACE GIVING THROUGH TWO IMPORTANT PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERSHIPS.

WORKPLACE GIVING AUSTRALIA

Workplace Giving Australia helps employers establish giving programs, allowing employees to make pre-tax donations which provide charities with predictable, low-cost and efficient funding for their community-facing activities The Council’s member firms, alongside private capital-backed investee companies, proudly support the work of WGA, which helps the WGA get closer to its goal of reaching one million Australians giving to charity through their workplace. The Council is pleased to be shortlisted as a finalist for the 2021 Workplace Giving Excellence Awards, which will take place on 30 November 2021. A number of the Council’s members have also been shortlisted.

INVESTING FOR GROWTH CAMPAIGN

Private capital has helped propel the growth of businesses here in Australia through providing new funding, access to strategic support and networks as well as deep industry expertise in almost all sectors of the economy. The Council shared the stories of a series of businesses and people that have benefitted from the support of Australian Private Capital, told through our ‘Investing for Growth’ Campaign.

INVEST WEEK

March 2021

In March this year, the Australian Investment Council hosted an inaugural, week-long digital content series on ausbiz called ‘Invest Week’.
The Council developed the four-part series with the aim of building awareness for external stakeholders about the private capital industry as an investment strategy and promoting the role it plays in helping businesses grow.

A number of industry experts joined the program to cover a basic introduction about the private capital industry, what it does, performance data and guides on how investors might approach this asset class.

NEW TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR OUR INDUSTRY

Earlier this year, the Council launched aic.co/invest, a centralised resources and information hub on private capital for emerging investors, entrepreneurs and business owners who are looking to understand more about the industry and for members who are seeking support material to explain private capital to investors and potential investee companies. The hub contains guidelines and templates, information about the investment process and private capital case studies.
The Council also launched a Private Capital Series – a suite of fact sheets which explain Private Equity, Venture Capital, Private Credit and Corporate Venture Capital for those who are new to the industry and demonstrates how each of these asset classes operate within the private capital ecosystem. This series will continue to expand in 2022.
