Rohan Barraclough from Ironstate Capital Partners shares his views on the dynamic landscape of private credit in Australia. He observes the sector’s growth after banks pulled back from riskier segments like land and development finance, creating opportunities for private credit managers.

Rohan notes that ASIC’s increased focus on the sector aims to enhance transparency and governance as broader investor bases, including super funds and retail investors, enter the market. He’s optimistic about the potential for increased regulation to boost confidence.

In commercial real estate private credit, Rohan highlights their focus on funding completed, income-producing assets like warehouses and medical centres. He identifies the challenges posed by rising construction costs and sees opportunities for investors seeking options without construction risk.
