About Us
Who We Are
A boutique fund manager, built on discipline
Paradice Investment Management is a well-established, boutique fund manager with a clear purpose: to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns for our clients over the medium to long term.
Founded in Sydney in 1999 by David Paradice, Paradice has over 25 years of institutional and retail support across Australian and global equities. Today we manage $18 billion on behalf of our clients, and our investment philosophy remains unchanged since inception: a style agnostic, bottom-up approach that assesses each company on its own merits, rather than on prevailing labels or themes.
Our growth has been deliberate rather than opportunistic. Our first fund, the Australian Small Cap Strategy, launched in 2000. Since then, we have extended our capability with the Australian Mid Cap Strategy (2006), Australian Large Cap Strategy (2007), Global Small Cap Mid Strategy (2010), Equity Alpha Plus Strategy (2019) and Australian Small Cap Opportunities Strategy (2023) — each grounded in the same research process and discipline that has defined the firm from the outset.
The Paradice Difference
We believe our independence and experience set us apart. Genuine alignment with our clients, and the discipline to uphold it, is what we call the Paradice difference.
In practice, this is reflected in a long-term, bottom-up approach — beginning with a company’s likely performance, followed by its industry, and finally the broader economy.
Discipline
Our generalist teams take a broad view of the market, with every decision grounded in extensive in-house research.
Independence
As an independent business running limited-capacity strategies, our focus remains on performance. Our investment professionals are given the autonomy to make efficient decisions and are held accountable for the results.
Experience
Our teams bring deep, specialist experience across Australian and global equities — experience that informs how we assess management quality, cash flow and balance sheet strength, not simply a company's profit and loss statement.
Performance
We share the same goals as our clients: growing their wealth over the medium to long term, through active management and a disciplined balance of risk and reward.
Our CTR Brand Seal
CTR stands for Consistency over Time equals Results.
It represents the Paradice investment approach: a disciplined process, applied consistently over the long term, with a focus on delivering superior risk-adjusted returns rather than one-off calls or short-term trading decisions.
Responsible Investing
Paradice recognises the importance of responsible investing in its investment process. We are an active investment manager, seeking to deeply understand the companies in which we invest. For us, considering Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors alongside purely financial metrics make sense – it drives more informed decisions so we can enhance value for our clients.

We provide our experienced investment professionals with the opportunity to make efficient decisions and take responsibility for delivering quality results.
