Mike Healy has been appointed investment director and will be responsible for business development and investor relationship management with a focus on institutional acquisition. Over the last three decades, he has worked across banking, fixed income, investment and funds management in organisations such as BNP Paribas, NAB and FIIG Securities.
Matthew Wang also joins as investment director, specialising in investor relations and business development on the eastern seaboard. Wang has extensive experience in debt management and investment, having worked in the finance industry for over 14 years with organisations including Westpac, HSBC and Citi.
Luke Hill takes on the role of relationship director for the Sydney office and be responsible for loan origination and business development, deal structuring, credit assessment and asset management. He has over a decade’s experience in commercial property finance, having worked with BankSA, Bankwest, Barclays and ING.
Brett Brisco will be state manager property finance, with 20 years’ experience in property and corporate finance within the corporate lending environment and private development firms in both Australia and the UK. Throughout his career he has held senior roles with Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, NAB and ANZ.
“In recent years, commercial real estate debt has gained prominence as an alternative fixed income asset class that offers investors strong, stable and consistent returns, and non-bank lending has emerged to become the preferred choice for property developers and brokers who seek fast, simple and tailored lending solutions,” David Payton, CEO and Executive Director, Payton Capital.
“The industry is growing at a rapid pace, and expanding into Sydney was a natural progression for us,” says Payton.
Payton Capital has funded $1.5 billion in projects over the past 10 years. It specialises in the provision of wholesale debt to real estate developers, and the origination of risk-adjusted investment products for sophisticated and wholesale investors, family offices and institutional investors.
