About Us

Arete Capital Partners is a globally-focused natural resources/mining private equity group established by senior mining industry professionals with extensive industry expertise and operational experience. Our team has a strong history of identifying, developing and operating mining assets and most importantly in creating value for all associated stakeholders.

As its primary objective for all of its investments, Arete aims to optimise the operational potential of the assets it acquires with a simple goal of delivering structural and operational improvements to the asset to create real and sustainable value.

With an asset’s operational performance being benchmarked to stricter capital disciplines and higher economic thresholds Arete appreciates that performance optimization is more critical than ever before.

Our Investment Strategy

The strategy of our Fund is to build a portfolio of high quality mining and natural resource investments comprising operating mines, advanced development projects with near-term production potential and where appropriate logistical mining assets, technology and processing assets.

To achieve its strategy Arete has given strong regard to assembling a team of world class experienced mining, private equity and investment banking professionals with extensive and deep reaching global networks to identify, negotiate and execute the acquisition of these assets.

Arete has broad mandate to invest across essential consumer, industrial and technology metals and is constantly reviewing a diverse array of investment opportunities across the global resources landscape.

Our Approach

The team at Arete is committed to optimizing the operational performance of its selected portfolio investments. We are real asset managers who believe that structural and operational improvements to an asset can create real and sustainable value. This value creation will ultimately be reflected in the returns delivered to
our investors.

By adopting a platform of “operational excellence” and taking a more “hands-on” approach to asset management, Arete believes its selected investments will have the best chance of achieving optimal performance across all market conditions encountered within the resource cycle.
