Arcadia Capital

Arcadia Capital is a mid-market private equity firm focused on acquiring growth companies in Australia and New Zealand. The firm was founded by two former colleagues from The Carlyle Group, one of world's largest and most successful private equity firms. After working together for over five years, Leigh left to join another leading global private e... quity firm, KKR, and Sam left sometime later to join the Principle Finance Group at Macquarie Bank. In founding Arcadia, Leigh and Sam identified an opportunity to apply the sophistication and discipline of global private equity to partnering with smaller businesses, a market which has historically been under-served by other private equity funds. The Arcadia team has over 25 years of private equity investing experience. While based in Sydney, the team is always on the road meeting exceptional management teams and visiting companies across Australia and New Zealand. Our local market relationships combined with our global private equity backgrounds enable us to deliver unique solutions to the companies that we work with and superior returns to our investors and partners.Read More
