Caason Group

Caason Group

Craig Astill established Caason Group in 1999. The firm functions as the single-family office for the Astill family, whose capital originated in cross-border trade and finance. Caason Group allocates across agribusiness, exploration and mining, environmental technologies, information technology, telecommunications, and international trade. It executes through direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds commitments, and natural-resource holdings. Positions span Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. Confirmed assets include Aileron Station and Oolloo Farm in the Northern Territory plus the Caason Fingal Tiers Mine in Tasmania. The firm maintains a Melbourne corporate office and participates in the Global Investment Leaders Club and Private Investment Forum Worldwide. Craig Astill appears regularly as a speaker at industry events. No public AUM figure exists. The office maintains direct ownership of operating assets and intellectual-property portfolios rather than relying solely on external managers.
