POWERHOUSE VENTURES LIMITED
Powerhouse Ventures Limited (ABN 64 612 076 169, ASX: PVL) is a public company limited by shares registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), with a registered office in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Queensland (an earlier Spring Hill, Brisbane 4000 address appears in some registry data on file). Powerhouse Ventures Limited was originally incorporated in New Zealand in 2006 and first listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 12 October 2016 while still New Zealand-domiciled. On 22 May 2023 Powerhouse Ventures Limited completed a statutory reincorporation transferring its corporate residency from New Zealand to Australia, under sections 350 to 356 of the Companies Act 1993 (NZ) and Part 5B.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth); the New Zealand entity was subsequently removed from the New Zealand Companies Register in August 2023. A 1 July 2021 incorporation date appears in registry data on file but could not be corroborated against the ASX/ASIC filings reviewed for this profile.
Powerhouse Ventures Limited is an active, ASX-listed operating company, not in wind-down. It has transformed from its original business of investing in and commercialising intellectual property from university research spin-outs into a diversified merchant-capital group organised around three divisions — Corporate Advisory, Funds Management, and Corporate Treasury — co-investing alongside capital it raises for ASX-listed and pre-IPO clients, while retaining minority stakes in earlier-generation portfolio companies.
Powerhouse Ventures Limited has traded on the ASX as PVL since 2016; no independently verifiable NZX listing was identified. In its latest available consolidated results, for the year ended 30 June 2026, the group reported revenue and fair-value gains of A$6,692,262 (up 25.7% year-on-year), net profit after tax of A$1,251,040 (down 31.2% as fair-value gains normalised from FY2025’s high base), and net tangible assets of A$0.12 per share; no dividend was declared. Material 2024–2026 developments include the acquisitions of New River Asset Management Pty Ltd and Informed Investor Pty Ltd (September 2024) and Aliwa Funds Management Pty Ltd (December 2024), renaming of its Australian subsidiary to Powerhouse Advisory Australia Pty Ltd (13 September 2024), a 2024 board renewal, and a July 2026 company secretary change.

Officers
11
Per Powerhouse Ventures Limited’s FY2025 Annual Report and subsequent ASX announcements, the board comprises James Kruger (Executive Chairman), David McNamee (Executive Director, appointed 26 March 2024) and Doron Eldar (Executive Director, appointed 10 July 2024, replacing Joshua Baker, who resigned the same date). Company Secretary is Geoffrey Nicholas, the company’s CFO, appointed 9 July 2026, succeeding Pauline Moffatt (appointed 11 September 2024, resigned 9 July 2026) — reconciling the two near-duplicate “Pauline M. Moffatt” entries in registry data on file as one appointment.
A “Dunedin Regional General Manager” role for Steve Silvey appears in registry data on file but was not found in any FY2023–FY2026 ASX annual report. Public sources link a Steve Silvey to an investment-manager role in the company’s earlier, pre-2023 New Zealand operations (Dunedin is a New Zealand city); more recent records place him at Oxford University Innovation, suggesting this is a legacy entry, unverifiable against a current filing. The “US” address-country on file for him matches no known location and appears to be a data artifact, though this cannot be confirmed. Nationality is not inferred from names.
Data on directors and company secretaries of ASX-listed Australian companies is publicly available via ASIC extracts and ASX-filed annual reports and announcements. Recent changes: (1) Eldar appointed / Baker resigned, 10 July 2024; (2) McNamee appointed Executive Director, 26 March 2024; (3) Nicholas appointed / Moffatt resigned as Company Secretary, 9 July 2026.
