Bailador Technology Investments co-founder and managing partner David Kirk joins Proactive's Fouad Haidar live from the ASX Small and Mid Cap Conference. Bailador is a listed expansion capital fund providing investors with exposure to high-growth, expansion-stage technology companies.
The company invests in private businesses across information technology sectors, typically holding a portfolio of 8–12 investments, and actively partners with management teams to help scale globally. Bailador delivers shareholder returns through both capital appreciation and fully franked dividends. The company has committed to paying dividends equal to 4% of pre-tax net tangible assets annually, distributed semi-annually, supported by a strong balance sheet including A$80 million in cash and marketable securities as of March 2025.
With a track record of successful investments and realisations—including significant exits delivering internal rates of return above 60%—Bailador provides investors with a unique opportunity to access premium technology growth companies through a liquid ASX-listed vehicle.
