About Us
Who we are
We are an ASIC-regulated, Australian boutique investment manager and non-bank lender incorporated in 2016.
Our objective is to generate stable, fixed income style, investment returns through funding high-quality, mortgage secured, loan transactions focussing primarily on the Commercial Real Estate Debt sector on the eastern seaboard of Australia.
To date, we have returned 100% of all investor capital.
Our base of investors includes high net worth individuals, family offices and institutional funders, from Japan, Singapore, China, Mauritius, Switzerland, USA, South Africa and Australia.
We operate with an investor first approach
Our high-calibre team has over 200 years’
combined experience in credit, property and
investment management.
Our objective
“We present risk-mitigated CRED opportunities that consistently deliver steady income which, when compounded over many years, constitute highly attractive returns.”
~ Alan Greenstein, CEO & Co-Founder
With our expertise
We are well placed to assist in creating risk-adjusted, stable investment income through our range of secured, private debt investment opportunities.
Why Zagga?
PARTNERSHIP
We treat our borrowers, investors and service providers as partners in our business.
We recognise that partnership requires that the needs of each partner are met.
Every loan transaction is individually assessed on its merits and is aimed at delivering a commercial, flexible and responsive outcome.
TRUST
We operate with an ‘investor first’ approach and will not compromise credit quality over increased return.
The Zagga executive team has over 200 years’ combined experience in analysing, structuring and managing complex loan transactions.
We operate with integrity, transparency and honesty as our core behaviours.
RELATIONSHIP
We intrinsically understand that sustainable business requires long-term relationships.
We inculcate the value of relationships in our team members.
The growth of our business is based on strong relationships with our investors (all of whom have been introduced through word of mouth referral) and our borrowers (of whom 30% are repeat borrowers).
