AVARI Capital has surpassed $1.5 billion in group assets under management and more than $500 million 1st mortgage fund size, as the firm continues to expand its national private credit platform across key Australian markets.

The milestone reflects continued investor demand for disciplined, real estate-backed private credit strategies and marks a significant stage in AVARI’s growth as a nationally connected nonbank lender.

As part of this next phase, AVARI has continued to strengthen its origination capability with strategic appointments across Queensland and Western Australia, expanding the firm’s on-the-ground presence and deepening access to high-quality opportunities nationally.

Recent appointments include:

  • Gary Louis JP FCA, managing AVARI’s origination efforts in both WA and SA, bringing more than 25 years’ experience across commercial real estate, private capital and strategic advisory, most recently leading NAB’s WA/SA Commercial Real Estate lending portfolio.
  • Ash Kitchen, driving origination in QLD, with experience across property & corporate finance and banking, including roles with Bank of New Zealand and Macquarie Group to deliver strong lending and relationship expertise.
  • Becki Gonsalves, leading our marketing and communications activity, bringing extensive experience in building brands and a passion for bringing clarity and impact to businesses. The expansion reflects AVARI’s continued investment in experienced people, local market relationships and disciplined origination capability as demand for flexible private credit solutions continues to grow.

For investors, the scale of the platform supports broader access to diversified, rigorously assessed opportunities. For borrowers, it enhances AVARI’s ability to deliver flexible capital solutions with speed, certainty and clarity in transactions where traditional lenders may not align.

Alan Liao, Founder, Partner and Chief Executive Officer, said the growth in assets under management reflects the continued strengthening of AVARI’s platform and national capability. “Surpassing $1.5 billion in group assets under management is an important milestone for the business, but it’s ultimately a reflection of the platform we’ve been building and the quality of the team behind it,” Mr Liao said.

“Private credit is a relationship-driven business. Expanding our presence across key markets
strengthens our access to opportunities and enhances our ability to structure and deploy capital
with expert conviction and strengthens how we support both investors and borrowers.”

Alongside this growth, AVARI has rolled out a new website and refreshed brand platform and
positioning:

Decisive Capital. Proven Performance.

Delivering structured, high-conviction investments and tailored private credit solutions.

The refreshed positioning reflects the scale, maturity and national growth of the platform, while reinforcing AVARI’s focus on disciplined performance and decisive execution.

“As we continue to grow, the focus remains the same- disciplined investment decisions, strong
borrower relationships and consistent outcomes for investors.”
