Salter Brothers joins forces with Kilara Capital to establish Australia’s leading sustainable investment fund

December 1, 2025 -- Salter Brothers is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Kilara Capital (Kilara) to establish KSB Sustainable Investments (KSB), a new Australian investment platform dedicated to decarbonisation outcomes. This strategic partnership combines Salter Brothers’ global expertise in alternative assets, with Kilara’s leading climate investment capabilities and strong track record delivering commercial returns alongside meaningful decarbonisation outcomes.  KSB will be focusing on three core business lines, private equity, energy infrastructure and nature solutions.

Kilara Capital, founded in 2018, is a platform with the objective of generating financial returns while simultaneously achieving decarbonisation outcomes for its investors, investee companies and projects. In doing so, Kilara has established itself as a leader in private equity investments that support medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their decarbonisation efforts.

Bringing together Kilara’s decarbonisation strategies with the private equity investment acumen and funds management expertise of Salter Brothers, the platform provides compelling ESG investment opportunity for investors.

KSB is currently in market with the KSB Transition Fund (KTF) — a private equity fund designed to capitalise on one of the most urgent and investable opportunities of our time, the decarbonisation of the real economy.

KTF targets companies that are deeply embedded in essential value chains and equips them with the tools, capital and expertise needed to transform.

KTF is now open for initial investments, with a first close expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In addition, KSB will be launching strategies in energy infrastructure, focussed on battery energy storage systems (BESS), where seed opportunities have been secured, and nature solutions focussed on carbon sequestration and related solutions.

Paul Salter, Managing Director of Salter Brothers, commented “This is a pivotal evolution of our business, aligning with the growing global demand towards sustainability and positioning us at the forefront of climate-aligned investing. Partnering with Kilara and established sustainable investors will allow us to unlock significant opportunities for our investors.”

Kilara’s Managing Partner, Ben Krasnostein stated, “We are at an inflection point in the market and the transition to a low-carbon economy is no longer optional. Partnering with Salter Brothers will enable us to offer investors real benefits if they are seeking sustainable investment options. Salter Brothers is well-experienced and we have the expertise, track record and the right team to deliver commercial returns and decarbonisation outcomes for our investors”

Yossi Kraemer, Salter Brothers’ Co-head Capital Partnerships and Director Funds Management, added “We look forward to accessing Kilara’s expertise and dedicated climate investment platform. Many of our investors are seeking tangible and measurable decarbonisation investment outcomes, and we are excited to be able to do this.”
