What are we
paying for?
A price needs to be considered against the underlying economics. Understanding the drivers of value helps distinguish an investment case from expectations alone.

OUR COMPANY
An owner’s
perspective.
Capital carries a responsibility. For Starring Capital, that begins with understanding what we own, why we own it and the risks that come with it.
Based in Southport, Queensland, Starring Capital Pty Ltd operates as a principal investment company. Our business is the investment of the company’s own capital.
We approach an investment as an ownership decision. Its commercial rationale, the capital it requires and the conditions that could change its value all deserve attention. The initial decision is only one part of that responsibility.

INVESTING ON OUR OWN ACCOUNT
Ownership shapes
the decision.
Investing our own capital gives every commitment a direct connection to the company’s resources and priorities.
01
A clear purpose for capital
An investment should have a reason for being in the company’s portfolio. The opportunity needs to be understood in the context of the capital already committed and the flexibility that remains.
02
A commercial basis for ownership
The starting point is the underlying investment: what supports its value, what the terms of ownership are, and what assumptions the decision depends on.
03
Explore our investment approachAttention beyond the purchase
Ownership continues as circumstances change. The reasons to retain an investment need consideration alongside the original reasons to acquire it.
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The opportunity.
The whole commitment.
Potential return is one part of an investment. The resources it ties up, the uncertainty involved and its place within the company’s capital are part of the same decision.
What are we
What could
change?
A useful assessment looks beyond the expected outcome. It considers where loss could arise and how an unfavourable change might affect the capital committed.
Risk and uncertaintyWhat does it
require of us?
The timing of cash flows, access to capital and the likely period of ownership influence whether an opportunity fits the company’s circumstances.
Time and liquidityFROM CONSIDERATION TO OWNERSHIP
A decision that
remains under review.
An investment case needs to stay connected to the facts. The questions below provide a useful frame before capital is committed and while an investment is held.

- 02 / CHALLENGE
Test the assumptions
Consider what could go differently, where the uncertainties sit and which assumptions matter most.
- 03 / ALLOCATE
Consider the commitment
Weigh the size, duration and liquidity of the investment against the company’s wider capital needs.
- 04 / REVIEW
Revisit the rationale
Assess whether the reasons for ownership still hold as new information and changing conditions emerge.
