Australian Companies Seek Asian Investors


SYDNEY, Oct. 14 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --


   AustraliaInvest today announced the Asian launch of its online investment 

portal, www.australiainvest.com.au, which enables strategic Asian investors 

[(particularly Chinese investors, who are a key focus)] to directly access 

current Australian investment opportunities across a range of sectors including 

the mining, resources, energy, biotech, cleantech and agribusiness sectors.  


   AustraliaInvest is proud to be the world's first online portal which is 

focused on enabling Australian publicly traded (ASX listed) companies and large 

private Australian companies to target and raise capital from strategic foreign 

investors.


  

Dean Fraser, Managing Director of AustraliaInvest and former Minter Ellison 

lawyer and Greenhill Caliburn corporate adviser, today said:


   "AustraliaInvest was established as a result of the large appetite from 

Australian companies for foreign capital, and a similar strong appetite from 

overseas investors for investment in high growth Australian businesses and 

strategic assets."  


   "We recognise that Australia is a highly attractive investment destination 

for Asian investors given its abundance of natural resources, intellectual 

capital, stable economic and investment environment and close proximity to 

Asia."

  

   "We also recognise that, prior to the launch of AustraliaInvest, it has been 

very difficult for Asian investors to directly access current and attractive 

Australian investment or acquisition opportunities."


   "We are delighted to launch an online portal which provides significant 

transparency for Asian investors regarding Australian investment opportunities, 

which encourages foreign investment into Australia, and which will allow Asian 

investors to participate in the growth of some of Australia's leading 

companies."  


   AustraliaInvest's current clients include nine ASX listed Australian 

companies and eight large private Australian companies across the mining, 

resources, energy, biotech, cleantech and agribusiness sectors. In aggregate, 

these Australian companies are seeking to raise A$450 million from overseas 

investors.
