Research-led. Concentrated. Private clients only. Based in Queensland, Australia.
Katniss Pty Ltd is a Queensland-based financial advisory firm focused on private equity, pre-IPO access and special situations investing. We serve private clients who want concentrated exposure to asymmetric opportunities — without the noise of listed markets.
Our edge is simple and repeatable: deep sector research, disciplined valuation work, and relationships with the operators, founders and issuers who source the best opportunities before they become consensus.
We are deliberately narrow. Depth beats breadth when capital is committed to illiquid, long-duration opportunities.
Every idea starts with a written thesis — what must be true for the investment to work, what breaks the thesis, and what a reasonable holding period looks like.
We would rather hold a handful of ideas we know deeply than spray capital across twenty we don't. Concentration forces conviction and clarity.
A performance-weighted fee structure aligns us with clients. If a mandate does not deliver, we do not get paid the upside.
Every opportunity moves through the same gated workflow. Each stage has a written output and a go/no-go decision before capital moves.
Specialists say no more than they say yes. Here is how we frame our boundaries so there are no surprises later.
Short enquiry, no obligation. Our team reviews every submission and arranges a private conversation before anything moves forward.
