The appointment follows FinCap’s launch of the FinCap Platform and its inaugural Helm portfolio range (Helm Income and Helm Growth), providing wholesale investors and advisers with institutional-grade access to private markets through an advised, managed account structure with periodic liquidity and no capital calls.

Shah brings more than 20 years of experience to the role, with much of his career spent at NAB in senior positions across capital markets, group treasury and corporate and institutional banking. Later serving as Chief Financial Officer of Hume Bank, Shah established the bank’s treasury, finance and operations capabilities, developing its funding frameworks, leading financial planning and analysis, as well as capital management, securing the bank’s inaugural investment-grade credit rating.

At FinCap, Shah will oversee cash management, liquidity, funding and special purpose vehicle structures, building the treasury and operational infrastructure underpinning the FinCap Platform and its ability to offer liquidity across multi-manager private markets portfolios.

“What drew me to FinCap is the chance to build a treasury and operations function from the ground up for a platform purpose-built for private markets. Getting the cash, liquidity and funding foundations right is what lets wholesale investors access these assets with confidence, and it is what will carry the platform as it grows,” says Shah.

“Akbar’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for FinCap. As we grow the platform and bring more to market, the strength of our treasury and operational foundations is what allows investors to rely on periodic liquidity and institutional-grade governance. Akbar’s background building treasury and finance functions from first principles makes him the right person to lead that function as we develop,” says Christian Ryan, Executive Chairman of FinCap.

The role is central to the platform’s growth. As FinCap onboards additional managers and portfolios onto the FinCap Platform, strong treasury and operational discipline underpins the firm’s ability to deliver institutional-grade construction and oversight at scale.
