Payton Capital is now part of the HMC Capital group.

The sale of the business to HMC Capital will enable Payton to accelerate growth and take advantage of the favourable long term investment fundamentals in Australia real estate credit. The 100% acquisition of the business demonstrates HMC Capital’s high conviction in Payton’s platform and people which will form part of HMC’s broader private credit platform.

As part of a leading Australian Stock Exchange listed company, Payton will benefit from a significantly improved market profile, access to broader pools of capital and greater ability to retain and hire market leading people.

Payton Capital’s continued objective is to be Australia’s leading real estate credit manager.

HMC Capital, a top 200 ASX listed company, has acquired 100% of Payton Capital.

HMC Capital is a leading alternative asset manager, specialising in real estate, private equity, energy transition, digital infrastructure and private credit.  HMC Capital, manages over $12bn in assets on behalf of institutional and high net worth investors.

HMC is focused on high conviction strategies and the acquisition of Payton is consistent with HMC’s strategy to establish a private credit platform with a broad-based focus and capability.

HMC Capital is committed to ensuring a seamless transition post the integration of Payton with HMC’s existing platform. HMC’s focus is on growing the platform and supporting Payton’s current management team.
