Our Past, Present & Future
The Mission, is to unlock institutional-grade investment opportunities for discerning investors, while creating long-term value through active management, strategic partnerships, and responsible stewardship of capital.
The team behind Net Funds has successfully transacted over $500 million in real estate across New Zealand and Australia over the past 15+ years.
This track record spans residential and commercial assets, including greenfield developments, brownfield regeneration projects, and large-scale renovations. Our experience covers the full investment lifecycle — from acquisition and repositioning to value creation and exit — across diverse market conditions.
Our team brings deep expertise in fund management, with a track record built across leading institutions and private investment firms.
With backgrounds at ANZ and BNZ, as well as former ownership and leadership roles at K2 Capital and Newbrook Capital, our team has been responsible for managing and advising on over $200 million in funds. This includes a range of private capital structures, commercial property vehicles, and bespoke investment mandates. Our experience spans strategy development, investor relations, regulatory compliance, and active portfolio management — all delivered with institutional discipline and entrepreneurial agility.
Climbing mountains so you don't have to.
Integrity – We prioritise trust, compliance, and transparency in everything we do.
Expertise – Every investment is backed by strong analysis and commercial insight.
Responsible Stewardship - We are committed to incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into our investment decisions and asset management practices.
Alignment – We invest alongside our clients, sharing the journey and outcomes.
Access – We open doors to opportunities typically out of reach for individual investors.
We are committed to driving sustainable outcomes through every stage of the property lifecycle. Across our investments, we prioritise environmental efficiency, resource-conscious design, and long-term resilience.
Wherever possible, we strive to meet or exceed recognised green building standards such as NABERSNZ and Green Star, which provide independent, transparent benchmarks for environmental performance. These certifications are not just badges — they are indicators of quality, future-proofing, and operational efficiency, helping to reduce running costs, improve tenant satisfaction, and enhance long-term asset value.
Our green impact approach reflects both our responsibility to the environment and our commitment to delivering sustainable returns for investors.
New Zealand offers a stable, transparent, and well-regulated investment environment — making it an attractive destination for global investors seeking long-term opportunities.
At Net Funds, we work with international investors looking to diversify their portfolios through New Zealand’s commercial property and private markets. Our investment structures are designed to meet the needs of offshore investors, offering access to high-quality assets with institutional-grade governance and local expertise.
We also assist eligible investors exploring residency through New Zealand’s Investor Visa programme. By aligning capital with qualifying investment opportunities, we help investors meet visa requirements while achieving commercial objectives.
Our team provides support throughout the process — from fund selection and documentation to compliance and reporting — making it seamless to invest and build a presence in New Zealand.
We work alongside a network of respected professionals and institutions who share our commitment to integrity, performance, and long-term value creation. These partnerships are central to how we source, structure, and manage investments at the highest standard.
Our trusted partners include leading law firms, accounting practices, investment houses, banking institutions, and independent advisors who support us in areas such as legal due diligence, tax structuring, compliance, asset management, and investor services.
This ecosystem of expertise ensures our investors benefit from robust oversight, strategic insight, and best-in-class execution. We’re proud to collaborate with organisations that are as committed to excellence as we are.
What are alternative assets?
Alternative assets are investments that fall outside of traditional asset classes such as listed equities, bonds, or cash. They include real estate, infrastructure, private equity, private debt, and natural capital.
Unlike traditional investments, alternative assets often provide:
Diversification from public market volatility
Stronger income potential
Direct access to tangible assets and real-world businesses
Long-term capital appreciation
Net Funds focuses on real, productive assets that generate income and can be actively managed to create value.
Why We Focus on Commercial Property and Private Markets
Grow your wealth with Partnership
Commercial property is a cornerstone of our strategy due to its stability, cash flow potential, and ability to structure long-term leases with quality tenants. We specialise in identifying and acquiring buildings that can be re-positioned, tenanted, or developed to enhance yield and value.
Our focus on the private markets — including bespoke co-investments and direct property syndications — gives our investors access to deals before they reach the public market. These opportunities often come through trusted relationships and careful sourcing.
This approach enables:
Better pricing through direct negotiation
Flexibility in structuring each investment
Alignment between investor goals and asset strategy
We operate with discipline, transparency, and an unwavering focus on capital preservation and performance.
