The riskiest capital in private markets is not growth equity. It is the capital that goes into a business from scratch.

Chris Rolls, Managing Partner at PieLAB Capital, has started four businesses, exited the last one, and used that exit to reset where he puts capital.

His read: mature founder-held businesses that have survived the risk phase are systematically underpriced. The reason they are not growing fast is often not that growth is impossible. It is that the owners have run out of ideas, or appetite, or both.

PieLAB acquires exactly those businesses. Twenty or thirty years in the same hands, slow top line, strong unit economics. A few operational changes repeatedly unlock step-change growth.

The $3.5T succession wave is about to transfer ownership of thousands of these businesses. The firms with the operating muscle to grow them, not just buy them, capture the compounding.

Chris is running an information session on the PieLAB thesis.

Chris Rolls has sat in every chair. He built and sold four businesses across four industries, three of them among the largest of their kind in Australia. His last, Rental Express, managed more than $2.4 billion of property before it sold in 2015. Now he backs other owners as Managing Partner of PieLAB Capital.

Across four very different industries, he says the constant was never the product. It was the people. A business is a collection of people whose job is to deliver for customers, and the rest follows from hiring and keeping good ones.

What changed was the model. Instead of a fund that has to sell its best businesses to return capital, PieLAB buys profitable, durable companies and holds them, compounding the cash rather than paying it out. He calls the CEO’s real job capital allocation, and the sharpest version of it is moving a dollar from a business that earns 7 to 8% to one that can earn 25%.

And the one question he would ask before backing anyone: are your interests aligned. People do what they are incentivised to do.

As the baby-boomer succession wave puts more businesses on the market than there are buyers, a good home for them is worth more than ever.

An investment bank that puts its own capital on the line.

EagleHawk Capital is raising $35 million to expand its advisory business and scale its principal investing activities across Australia and New Zealand.

Unlike traditional advisory firms, EagleHawk invests directly in selected businesses alongside its clients, aligning its interests with the outcomes it helps create.

The opportunity is backed by a track record of 27 completed advisory transactions since August 2023, $1.8 million deployed through its principal investing arm in the past 12 months, and a $2 million commitment from a longstanding family office backer.

The raise will support two priorities:
• $5 million to expand the advisory team and service existing deal flow
• $30 million to scale principal investing and increase investment capacity

For investors interested in exposure to the Australian and New Zealand private business market, EagleHawk Capital is an opportunity to explore.

At Yield & Growth Sydney 2026, Michael Kokkinos (MintMark Capital) laid out a sobering calculation for anyone holding traditional yield assets. After exiting a $300 million development pipeline, he has completely exited property.

His rationale comes down to simple math:

🔸 The 14.9% Hurdle: With Australia's broad money supply expanding at ~8% annually, Michael calculates that you need a 14.9% nominal return just to net a double-digit return above real currency debasement. Below that hurdle, your purchasing power is going backwards.

🔸 The Credit Expansion Problem: Traditional property valuations ignore money supply expansion entirely. Even first-mortgage private lending at 10–11% falls below his required hurdle.

🔸 Scarcity is the New Collateral: Michael doesn't view himself as a "crypto person"—he looks for pristine, uncompromised collateral. That means Bitcoin (a mathematically fixed 21M supply, 24/7 liquidity, and live on-chain auditing), alongside physical gold and silver.

🔸 The Next 3 to 5 Years: With US sovereign debt hovering around $40 trillion and moving toward $50 trillion, liquidity and stores of value are the primary defensive plays. And for anything carrying counterparty risk: "Have a look at the board very carefully before you invest."

88% of Singapore-managed assets are already invested offshore. Capital here is global by default.

Yet while 65% of family offices prioritize AI, 57% still carry zero venture or growth exposure.

Yield & Growth Singapore was built to solve that disconnect in real time.

To our sponsors, speakers, presenting managers, and the 350+ allocators who joined us across Singapore and ASEAN: thank you for your time, conviction, and deal flow on the floor.

The stage sessions have wrapped, but capital allocation has just begun.

At Yield & Growth Sydney 2026, Hugh Zochling (Founder & Executive Director, Hadley Green Investment Group) outlined the contrarian opportunity in commercial real estate. When an asset class is out of favour, the best entry points appear.

Key Takeaways from the Panel:

🔸 Buying Below Replacement Cost: High construction costs mean quality existing buildings can be acquired at a steep discount to what they cost to build today. As the economic rent needed to justify new builds climbs, it lifts the value of existing prime assets.

🔸 The Defense Demand Driver: Sovereign spending is spilling directly into commercial leasing. Canberra has become an epicenter, with a new national security precinct near Parliament House pulling in rapidly expanding defense tech contractors and service providers needing floor space.

🔸 Back to First Principles: Stick to proven fundamentals, tier-one C*D locations, proximity to transport/education, and well-capitalised assets with real amenity. As Hugh puts it: "If you need a PhD to understand what you're investing in, you probably need to go and get a PhD."

🔸 Sensible Diversification: Even if you love property, don't concentrate everything into one basket. Keep a balanced portfolio, and keep an eye on emerging asymmetric plays like Bitcoin's fixed supply intersecting with AI.
