Introducing ‘InSites’ – a regular, behind-the-scenes look at our Real Estate Finance projects. In our first episode, we’re on-site with Investment Manager in our Real Estate Credit team Heath Grundy at Nowra Business Park – a state-of-the-art development of 68 industrial units in South Nowra, NSW. Heath explained the team’s focus on financing high-quality projects as well as the importance of building strong relationships with not only our borrowers but also the builders and sub-contractors on each project: “One thing we really like to do is take note of the quality on site. Quality plays a crucial role in the final product and contributes significantly to the long-term and enduring value of the asset…and the relationship is the strongest part about getting the job through to completion and achieving what everyone is here to do.” CEO of Leadmark Development Mark Zreika offered insight into Nowra as a prime location for logistics, manufacturing, and service-based industries: “We believe Nowra is going to be a second city after Wollongong. The location of Nowra is in the middle of Wollongong and Canberra, which gives it a lot of benefits especially for industrial tradies.” Learn more about our real estate and development financing capabilities by visiting our website https://lnkd.in/gJN6_HRj.

Will APRA’s major proposed hybrids changes lead to a rise in demand for alternative credit? In September APRA announced proposed changes to simplify the capital frameworks for Australia’s banks, by removing AT1 hybrids and replacing them with Tier 2 bonds and more equity. In his latest interview with ausbiz’s Andrew Geoghegan our Head of Credit Investments and Lending Frank Danieli shares his views and answers the question: with over $40 billion currently invested in these hybrids, where will those investors go? Frank explains that over time, these changes will mean billions of dollars each year searching for alternatives, and there is likely to be greater choice for investors – from private credit funds to bonds funds, listed investment trusts, and more. https://lnkd.in/gUN5-nrS

Our MA Growth Ventures team is so proud to see one of its portfolio companies Quantum Brilliance continue to have tremendous success on its growth journey. The Canberra-based startup, which develops quantum accelerators that operate at room temperature, recently announced it has been selected to develop the world’s first mobile quantum computer by 2027 for Germany’s peak government cybersecurity agency as part of a EUR35m project. MA Growth Ventures invests in growth-stage Australian businesses, and since 2016 has provided over $600 million of growth capital to support more than 45 companies.
