Trilogy Funds increases lending capability with three key appointments
Trilogy Funds, one of Australia’s leading fund managers of property-backed investments and non-bank lenders to the construction sector, has announced three new appointments to its Financing team, as demand for its lending products grows across Australia.
Connor Schafferius has joined Trilogy Funds as Senior Portfolio Manager in Melbourne from Monark Property Partners, where he was an associate director. He will assist Trilogy Funds in continuing to expand its loan origination across VIC, SA, WA and the ACT.
Dominic Wild has been appointed Senior Portfolio Manager in Sydney, joining from Ray White Capital where he was a portfolio manager. Mr Wild will help expand Trilogy Funds’ loan origination in NSW. He is skilled in portfolio management, investment analysis, and strategic credit planning.
Adam Ligori joins Trilogy Funds as Portfolio Manager, Development & Restructuring, in Sydney, joining from Construction Consultants, where he was a senior project manager. Mr Ligori’s experience spans client-side project management, superintendent administration, contract negotiation and development delivery.
Clinton Arentz, Head of Lending at Trilogy Funds, said the new hires will bring great expertise to the Trilogy Funds Financing team.
“We are delighted to welcome Connor, Dominic, and Adam to our growing team as we expand our presence across Australia. By boosting our capabilities, our brokers and clients will continue to receive the highest level of service, support and expertise at every stage of their projects,” Mr Arentz said.
“Each of our new hires brings highly specialised experience in structuring construction credit and a broad understanding of what developers require. Adam’s technical background, combined with Connor’s and Dominic’s extensive credit and portfolio management experience, ensures Trilogy Funds is well positioned to support its growing borrower and broker networks.”
Trilogy Funds is helping to meet rising demand from brokers and developers for private credit as traditional banks tighten construction lending.
“The retreat of major banks from segments of the development lending market has created a significant opportunity for Trilogy Funds, an experienced non-bank lender, to provide a range of lending solutions to the construction sector. Our 20 years of experience, combined with our expanding team, ensure we have the leadership, technical expertise, and capital readiness in place to help finance the projects that will address Australia’s housing supply shortfall,” he said.
Trilogy Funds boasts a broad broker network across Australia, which is increasingly important as housing developers work to meet the Federal Government’s ambitious housing targets under the National Housing Accord.
As part of its growth, Trilogy Funds also recently appointed experienced property finance specialist Daniel Trist to the newly created role of Head of Origination, reflecting the continued growth of the organisation’s lending business and its commitment to supporting Australia’s expanding property development sector.
