Kidder Williams pitching AVet Health
Share
Boutique corporate advisory Kidder Williams is out pitching veterinary pharmaceutical company AVet Health this week, commencing a pre-IPO raise ahead of a listing later within the 2022 financial year.
The business owns the brand Wagg & Purr, which has 27 products across 6 molecules in parasite control, pet supplements and ear care. It is expected to launch more products and molecules before the end of the year.
AVet Health is raising a pre-IPO round for its generic branded veterinary pharmaceutical products.

The company focuses on near-off-patent veterinary pharmaceutical products, offering a branded generic alternative exclusively to veterinary clinics. These are more affordable for pet owners and also have better margins for operators.

Industry superfund Cbus has emerged as a major backer of Roc Partnersâ bid to acquire the Vitalharvest Freehold Trust and its $300 million portfolio of berry and citrus orchards leased to Costa Group.
The Sydney-based private equity firm has been bidding aggressively against Macquarieâs giant real estate arm for Vitalharvest as it looks to add the Costa orchards to its portfolio of agricultural investments that include tomato grower Flavorite, chicken producer ProTen and wagyu beef producer Stone Axe Pastoral.
Macquarie and Roc Partners are fighting to secure fruit orchards leased to Costa Group.Â
Cbus, which has $54 billion of funds under management, has most of its property investments in commercial and residential real estate through its  development and asset management subsidiary Cbus Property and through superfund-backed fund manager ISPT.
