Kin Group

Kin Group

Raphael Geminder and Fiona Geminder established Kin Group as the vehicle for the family's capital after the Pratt family's packaging and recycling operations. Fiona Geminder is the daughter of the late Richard Pratt, whose Visy Industries formed the original wealth base. The office sits in South Yarra, Melbourne, and maintains a New York presence to cover the Americas. Kin Group allocates across manufacturing, technology, financial markets and real estate through direct ownership, co-investments and growth equity. Confirmed holdings include Pact Group, The Reject Shop, Kinrise Food Group and Remedy Drinks. The firm has executed transactions in Oceania, North America, Europe, Asia and South America. It participates in buyouts, seed through late-stage venture and real-estate acquisitions rather than committing to external fund vehicles. The office employs an internal team of investment, legal and technology professionals. Nick Perkins serves as CEO and holds a board seat at The Reject Shop; Tristan Smith serves as CFO and sits on the Pact Group board. Kin Group also controls industrial property assets including the Centralbridge portfolio in Australia and New Zealand and the Keysborough Distribution Centre. No material leadership or transaction events have been disclosed in the last 24 months. Kin Group's structure combines permanent ownership of operating companies with selective co-investments. This hybrid model supplies proprietary operating data and board access that pure financial investors lack, while the 100-year investment horizon removes pressure for near-term exits.
