The family has a 24% stake in NZX-listed mobile payments company Pushpay, which focuses on the US church sector, and Peter is its head of corporate development.
Pushpay shares have soared 110% over the past 12 months with the company now valued at more than $1b by market capitalisation.
Aside from technology, Peter’s older brother, Jason, is the chief executive of Centuria’s unlisted property arm, which has a portfolio of 17 individual properties worth about $1.3 billion.
Christopher and Peter have also invested twice in business education platform Unfiltered, founded by 22-year old Jake Millar. Peter says the family will purchase further shares from an existing investor.
Last year they invested into Kiwi customer feedback software company AskNicely.
Peter co-founded Huljich Wealth Management in 2007, which managed the largest KiwiSaver scheme in terms of members and sold it to Fisher Funds Management in 2011.
Christopher and his brothers, Michael and Paul, co-founded Best Corporation, which floated on the NZX in 1991 and was acquired by the Danone Group in 1995.
Peter and Christopher are partners at Christopher & Banks Private Equity.
In the 1990s, the family established the Huljich Foundation, which sends children suffering from life-threatening diseases and their families on holidays, to provide memorable experiences.
Elizabeth Huljich has sold four of her five Auckland properties while continuing her dispute against her family and is supported by her son Paul who has his own case against them.
Elizabeth began taking legal action in 2014 against her son Christopher to force him to repay a $264,000 mortgage registered over her investment properties.
She says she sold the properties to continue her legal action, after previously borrowing money from friends to fund it.
Paul says he opened a “mindfulness retreat” for addicts and “victims of stress” in the US last year but closed it to return to New Zealand and help his mother.
Peter says he, Christopher and Michael “deny all liability” in both Elizabeth’s and Paul’s proceedings.
“We regard the matters as private and we do not intend to make any further comment while they are before the court.”
