AFG’s Strategic Investment in Capita Finance Group Strengthens Broker Network and Accelerates Growth
Australian Finance Group Ltd (ASX: AFG) has expanded its Broker Investments program with a minority investment in Perth-based brokerage Capita Finance Group (Capita), as part of its strategy to back high-performing broker-led businesses and build long-term enterprise value across its national network.
The transaction marks AFG’s sixth investment under the program since its launch in November 2024, reflecting continued momentum as the group establishes equity partnerships with brokerages across Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
AFG has acquired a non-controlling stake in Capita, with the business transitioning to ownership by its existing broker group, led by Managing Director Adam Donald. Founded in 2013, Capita has built an integrated model combining property and finance services, supporting clients across the real estate lifecycle.
AFG Chief Executive Officer David Bailey said, “Capita is exactly the kind of business we’re focused on supporting: a high-performing brokerage with a strong foundation and a clear runway for growth. We see a real opportunity to work with the team as they take the business into its next phase.”
AFG’s Broker Investments program is designed to provide brokerages with access to capital and strategic support, while preserving their independence, brand and day-to-day operations.
The model has been applied across a growing portfolio of partnerships, including investments in Empower Wealth Group, Lifespan Mortgage Services, Loan Path Finance, TS Finance Broking and asset finance specialist Network Finance.
Mr Bailey added, “With six investments completed, and additional investments made by these groups, we’re seeing the program build. The market is changing and brokers are increasingly looking for partners who can help them grow, plan for succession or build long-term value, and that’s exactly what this program is designed to do.”
