Pemba announces strategic partnership with Hunter Premium Funding
Pemba Capital Partners (Pemba), a leading private equity firm dedicated to accelerating the growth of businesses across Australia and New Zealand, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its partnership with Hunter Premium Funding (Hunter). Finalised on 30 May 2025, this milestone marks a significant step in Pemba’s strategy to support high-potential financial services businesses.
The agreement to partner with Hunter was reached on 20 December 2024 with Allianz. The transition enables Hunter to operate as an independent entity under Pemba’s ownership, gaining access to enhanced financial resources and strategic guidance.
“We are excited to announce our partnership with Hunter,” said Robert Haybittel, Managing Director at Pemba Capital Partners. “Hunter is a well-established brand with a strong reputation, and we see tremendous potential for growth and innovation. Our focus is on building upon Hunter’s solid foundation, working closely with their talented team to expand capabilities and deliver even greater value to brokers and customers.”
Hunter’s experienced team has transitioned with the business, ensuring continuity for clients and partners. The company will retain its trusted brand and continue operating with its existing systems, services, and operational structure.
This strategic partnership reflects Pemba’s ongoing commitment to backing strong, values-driven businesses and empowering them to accelerate growth. Pemba’s existing partnership with Arteva Funding, another leading insurance premium funder, will continue to operate independently, with each business maintaining its unique identity and customer focus.
Looking ahead, Hunter remains dedicated to strengthening relationships, driving innovation, and maintaining its leadership in the premium funding sector with tailored solutions that meet evolving market needs.
