How Grattan Investment Group Works
Membership
Members join Grattan Investment Group (“GIG”) by committing both capital and time. Each member invests their own capital and retains full discretion over whether to participate in any individual investment.
Collective Capital
By combining capital, GIG is able to pursue larger and more attractive investment opportunities than individual members could typically access on their own, while still allowing flexibility at the individual member level.
Investment Decisions
Investment opportunities are typically discussed collectively, benefiting from the experience and perspectives of the wider group. However, each member makes their own independent decision on whether to invest.
For each opportunity, a lead member or small committee is appointed to drive analysis, coordinate discussions, and progress execution.
Management & Governance
GIG operates through a set of agreed, pragmatic principles rather than rigid bureaucracy. These guide how the Group operates, including meeting cadence, focus sectors, and how opportunities are evaluated and progressed.
Learning & Collaboration
An important aspect of GIG is shared learning. Members actively exchange insights on investment strategy, market trends, sectors, and real-world operating experience, strengthening decision-making across the Group.
Risk Sharing
Where members choose to invest together, risk is shared across those participants. This collaborative approach helps reduce individual exposure while enabling participation in higher-quality opportunities.
Legal Structure
Grattan Investment Group operates as an informal investment group rather than a pooled fund or regulated vehicle. Investments are made directly by members, often alongside business partners or co-investors.
Our Objective
The objective of Grattan Investment Group is to generate attractive long-term returns for members and business partners, while also fostering a strong community built around collaboration, shared experience, and continuous learning.
