Artesian Capital Management is an alternative investments management company, which was spun out of ANZ Banking Group's capital markets business in 2004, with backing from ANZ Private Equity. Artesian's founding partners purchased ANZ's stake in 2005. The company has subsequently been fully owned by partners and staff. Since 2004, Artesian has managed specialised funds focused on credit arbitrage and relative-value strategies across global financial markets. In 2008, while continuing to manage credit relative value investment strategies from its New York, London, and Singapore offices, Artesian began to make principal investments in seed/early-stage ventures from its offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Shanghai. In 2011, Artesian launched the first of its early stage venture capital funds and now manages AUD 255m. Artesian's VC strategy is to partner with best of breed accelerators, incubators, angel groups, and university programs. In 2017, Artesian launched its China VC Fund with a USD 50m cornerstone investment from industry super fund Hostplus. Artesian will soon launch a Southeast Asia VC Fund.
