PAYTON Capital has launched its investor services team in Queensland with the appointment of two investment directors, bringing further big four bank experience to the business.
Former Westpac private executive Phil Heissenbuttel joins Payton Capital with over 30 years of experience in the sector, 14 of which were spent specialising in banking and investment services for ultra-high-net-worth and family office clients within two of Australia’s largest private banks.
Heissenbuttel has experience in sales, relationship management and leadership roles across diverse segments such as agribusiness, commercial and corporate banking.
His appointment follows that of former NAB executive Grant Murphy to lead the firm’s expansion into a permanent base of operations in Brisbane in late 2023.
Also joining Payton Capital as an investment director is Chris Bevans, who has over 16 years’ experience working in ultra-high-net-worth private banking and wholesale markets, and is skilled in relationship management, risk and compliance, and stakeholder engagement.
He has worked with major banking institutions and large family groups, giving him an understanding of wholesale investors and debt markets across various asset classes.
Heissenbuttel and Bevans begin their roles as investment directors with immediate effect.
Head of investment at Payton Capital, Craig Schloeffel, says opportunity for non-bank lenders is anticipated to grow significantly and the business needs to be suitably prepared with well-credentialed staff to take full advantage for clients.
“We know a lot of opportunities will present themselves for investors in this asset class in the coming years. Our recently commissioned report on the CRE debt market has shown that CRE private debt will double in the next five years” Schloeffel said.
“The inclusion of Phil and Chris, both with backgrounds in the private banking sector in Queensland, empowers us to swiftly and effectively serve our clients’ best interests.”
