Investing in the sectors that power, connect and sustain the physical world.
Sixteen Mile Capital provides growth and succession capital — and hands-on operational experience and expertise — to the specialist businesses that support and enable the continued growth and resilience of energy markets and digital infrastructure, across Australia and broader Asia Pacific.
Our mission
The strongest returns flow from the most resilient foundations.
Sixteen Mile Capital is a private investment firm focused on the sectors that power, connect and sustain the physical world. Named for an estuary whose waters have carved their path through generations of change, our firm is built on a simple conviction: the strongest returns flow from the most resilient foundations.
The real asset economy runs on more than steel, copper and concrete. Behind every energy network, infrastructure corridor and built environment lies an engine room of operators, service and technology providers and specialist businesses that make it all function. This is where Sixteen Mile Capital invests.
Principal-led and operationally grounded, we bring over 25 years of hands-on experience deploying and managing capital across energy, infrastructure and real assets in Australia, Asia Pacific and the Americas. Our platform is anchored in Australia, with a mandate that extends across the broader Asia Pacific region, and we partner with institutional investors who share our long-term orientation.
