About Us

Aldersley Capital is an investment management company incorporated in 1985 as a family investment company. In 2013 it became an AFSL holder licensed to manage investments for a closed group of self-directed clients on a large platform. It consistently outperformed the ASX200 Accumulation index benchmark for Australian equities over the next eleven years, averaging over 15% per annum, more than 8% in excess of benchmark.

Since March 2024, with the launch of Aldersley Capital Direct, this expertise is available to a wider Australian public.
