Overview
Hume Partners described itself as a bespoke investment house that grew out of the Peter Scanlon Family Office and, since its 2015 launch, became a multi-family investment house reporting over A$1 billion in funds under management, investing for client families across public and private markets. It sought A$20 million to A$200 million investments in Australian businesses and listed international investments through debt, mezzanine, preferred equity or equity, with experience in property (office, broadacre subdivision, childcare), infrastructure, water rights and horticulture, and structured finance. Hume Partners Pty Ltd (ACN 167 864 511, AFSL 467054) was based at 367 Collins Street, Melbourne; ABN Lookup shows the company was renamed Taverners Management Pty Ltd on 30 November 2023, and the humepartners.com.au domain no longer resolves.
