Background
Aaron Jamieson is a seasoned investment professional with deep expertise spanning institutional asset management, private equity, and alternative investments. He spent over a decade at Macquarie Investment Management (a division of Macquarie Group, one of Australia's largest financial institutions), working across offices in Sydney, New York, and San Diego. During that tenure he built extensive experience in global capital markets, institutional distribution, and investment manager operations. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) and a Master of Commerce (Finance) from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, bringing an analytical engineering mindset to the investment world.
After Macquarie, Aaron joined Meketa Investment Group as a Principal, where he was instrumental in launching their Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) business, advising institutional clients on portfolio construction and manager selection. He then moved to Pacific Current Group (PAC), an ASX-listed multi-boutique asset management firm that invests permanent growth capital into boutique investment management firms worldwide. As Managing Director and Head of Business Development for North America, Aaron leads a team responsible for raising capital from institutional investors and helping PAC's portfolio companies execute their strategic growth plans.
More recently, Aaron has expanded his advisory footprint. He was welcomed as a Senior Advisor to AlTi Tiedemann Global, a publicly traded international wealth management and alternative investments firm with over USD 77 billion in assets. He also founded Canguru Capital Advisors, his own advisory practice. On a personal level, Aaron is married with three young children and serves as a Chapter Executive Board Member of the CAIA Association, contributing to the professional development of alternative investment practitioners.
Investment Thesis & Focus
Aaron operates at the intersection of institutional capital allocation and boutique investment manager growth. His professional investment focus through Pacific Current Group centers on identifying and partnering with differentiated boutique asset managers across diverse strategies, geographies, revenue models, and client types. PAC provides permanent growth capital (not time-limited fund structures) to these managers, enabling long-term strategic partnership rather than short-horizon financial engineering.
On the angel and seed side, Aaron's background suggests an affinity for investment-related technology, financial services innovation, and asset management infrastructure. His CAIA designation and deep roots in alternatives (private equity, private credit, real assets, hedge strategies) inform a thesis oriented toward institutional-quality investment opportunities with differentiated market perspectives.
Key areas of focus include:
- Growth equity in investment managers: Boutique firms with scalable strategies and institutional-grade operations
- Alternative investments: Private credit, real assets, hedge strategies, and multi-strategy platforms
- Seed-stage angel investments: Likely in fintech, asset management technology, and investment infrastructure
