This Australian-first partnership arrangement allows us to access an attractive pipeline of prime asset finance deal flow, diversify our private credit portfolio and participate in the growth of the commercial asset finance sector for our managed funds.

This video is part of a new series where our Joint CEO Chris Wyke and Head of Credit Investments and Lending Frank Danieli provide transparency into our detailed and diligent approach to private credit investing.

In an interview with The Australian Financial Review our Joint CEO Julian Biggins discussed our new $1 billion real estate credit deal with leading global growth investor Warburg Pincus LLC. 
 
The deal will see Warburg Pincus back our Australian real estate credit vehicle which will lend to high quality developers across high-density, medium-density and subdivision projects. The vehicle will provide global institutional investors with unique access to Australia’s real estate credit market and help meet the demand for sophisticated borrowers as Australia addresses a nationwide housing shortage. 
 
With population growth over the next five years set to run 30 per cent higher than that of the past five, a shortage of about 254,000 dwellings is expected to build up. As the tightening of credit provisions by traditional lenders continues, non-bank lenders will need to fill a gap estimated to be about $55 billion.
 
Julian said “We can help plug that funding gap. It’s getting harder and harder to get projects off the ground, so in every part of that funding solution for quality developers, we think that there’s good returns to be made. We think the housing undersupply will support ongoing, robust pricing around residential property in Australia.”
 
Of the deal with Warburg Pincus Julian said “We’ve had a very good track record, and it’s obvious Warburg Pincus believe that, and they’ve done the due diligence to verify that. But they’re also very astute investors as well. So in terms of that project and investment selection, it’s a joint effort in that sense… They’ve got a fair bit of belief in us as a company, that from here, we’re going to create value as well.”

We are extremely proud to announce the establishment of a A$1 billion+ Australia Real Estate Credit Vehicle with Warburg Pincus LLC – a leading global growth investor and one of the largest investors of real estate private equity in Asia. 
 
The Vehicle will provide global institutional investors with unique access to Australia’s real estate credit market, funding high-quality developers and residential real estate projects. We will manage and co-invest in the Vehicle, while Warburg Pincus will facilitate offers to certain Warburg Pincus funds and has indicated their intention to invest in notes issued by the Vehicle.
 
Our Joint CEO Julian Biggins said, “We are very proud to be collaborating with Warburg Pincus – one of the world’s most successful and respected real estate managers. This initiative is a strong endorsement of and testament to MA Financial’s proven track record and significant expertise and capabilities in real estate credit investing. Through the Vehicle, we will originate and manage credit facilities for high-quality real estate developers and projects with a focus on Australia’s residential build-to-sell sector, aiming to help close the funding gap in the acutely undersupplied housing market.
 
With the projected rate of annual population growth in the next five years expected to increase by over 30% on that of the last five years, it is estimated the cumulative dwelling shortage to be approximately 254,000 units for the same period. As the tightening of lending practices by traditional banks continues, there is an estimated US$37 billion funding gap projected by 2025 that non-bank lenders are looking to address. Our new Vehicle will help meet the demand for non-banking lending options from sophisticated borrowers as Australia addresses a nationwide housing shortage. The significant demand for housing in Australia’s residential property market provides strong tailwinds for this strategy.”
 
Anthony Habis our Head of Global Partnerships said, “This initiative provides institutional investors around the globe with unique access to the combined expertise and track record of MA Financial and Warburg Pincus. Warburg Pincus have a track record of being selective in partnering with management teams to build out strategies, and this is an exciting development for MA Financial”.

We are proud to have acted as exclusive corporate and financial adviser to Diona on its agreed divestment to SRG Global for A$111 million.

The acquisition is highly strategic, with Diona’s market-leading position in program and asset management services in water security and energy transition, and its established partnerships with utility and government agency clients under long-term agreements, complementing SRG Global’s current end-to-end full asset lifecycle capability in water, defence, resources, transport, and energy transition.

Chris Stefanovski, Managing Director in our Corporate Advisory team said “We were delighted to work with Diona – a leading specialist Australian infrastructure services provider with deep expertise in the delivery of essential infrastructure services across Australia. This acquisition by SRG Global is strongly aligned with its vision to become the most sought-after diversified infrastructure business, and we look forward to watching the ongoing success of Diona under SRG’s banner.”

We are delighted to be sponsors of Portfolio Construction Forum’s Strategies Summit 2024 taking place today and tomorrow at @UNSW. 
 
At the event today our Head of Credit Investments and Lending Frank Danieli presented a compelling argument on why the 60/40 portfolio shouldn’t be what it used to be. 
 
Frank explained that while the 60/40 portfolio is a useful discipline, the composition needs to evolve and be adjusted to account for the increasing market proportion of private assets. Private assets tend to be focused on fundamentals, while public markets are increasingly dominated by passive and systemic strategies that may lead to increased volatility – Frank outlined how including an allocation to alternatives in a portfolio has the potential to improve returns and lower volatility.

We are extremely proud to announce our strategic partnership with humm group's flexicommercial Australia asset finance platform in an Australian first co-lending deal.
 
The deal will see us acquire up to $1 billion worth of Flexicommercial’s commercial asset finance loans (with a seed portfolio of ~$500m) via our private credit managed funds in a forward flow arrangement, giving us and our investors access to a substantial pipeline of high quality, prime asset finance loans.
 
In an interview today with the The Australian Financial Review's Aaron Weinman our Head of Credit Investments and Lending Frank Danieli said “Our new strategic partnership with Flexicommercial is an innovative financing strategy and an advancement for Australia’s private credit industry. We have seen the power of co-lending programs globally and are seeking to introduce these opportunities to our local market. This arrangement allows us to access an attractive pipeline of prime asset finance deal flow, diversify MA Financial’s private credit portfolio and participate in the growth of the commercial asset finance sector for our managed funds. 
 
We have identified asset financing as an attractive lending space for some time. The rise of the broker channel is creating more options for borrowers and a more level playing field for non-bank financiers to provide customers lending solutions. We like sectors where banks are ceding market share and are no longer the most efficient provider of capital. We think there are compelling risk-adjusted returns available in these market gaps. This unique partnership structure with Flexicommercial is an effective way for us to capitalise on these thematics in asset finance for our managed funds.”
