Our Founding Story
Newport Capital Group was established in 1989 by Lou Richard, who served as Chairman and Non-Executive Director until 2021.
Under his leadership, Newport Capital built a strong reputation in investment and advisory services within the Telecommunications, Media, and Technology (TMT) sectors across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
“The key differentiator of our firm is that our senior team members have spent extensive careers at senior levels in TMT sector companies. Our culture is completely collaborative and transparent. Our advice is always very carefully considered and completely honest.”
He is greatly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, staff, clients, and everyone that had dealings with him over the decades, throughout the world.
Lou Richard’s strategic vision continues to inform the company’s approach today.
