DIF Capital Partners (DIFCP) commenced operation in 2003 as an alternative asset manager. Over the course of its history, DIFCP has raised in excess of $580 million in institutional commitments.


DIFCP's flagship fund, the $309 million Direct Investment Fund Mezzanine Debt Trust is an open-ended vehicle; with a portfolio of high yielding debt assets focusing on mezzanine, private debt and leveraged loans. The fund’s investment portfolio is diversified by sector, geography and term.

DIFCP has been established as an independent stand-alone business to manage a portfolio of unlisted mezzanine and private debt assets sourced from situational anomalies facing corporations, utility operators, and shorter-term ‘active’ expansion capital plays. DIFCP’s return objectives are to deliver in excess of what would be regarded as reasonably achievable (with any consistency over a sufficiently long time frame) from the listed assets on which institutional investors have traditionally focused.

DIFCP is open only to investments by superannuation funds and institutional investors with the capacity to invest not less than $10 million in a single commitment.
