Date: 12 May 2025

Alan Greenstein from Zagga highlights the lure of Australian real estate debt for investors in Southeast Asia.

While America and Europe’s appeal wanes, Australia stands out due to its strong economy, legal system, and positive migration trends.

Alan notes the growing interest from investors in Singapore and Hong Kong, targeting Australian market opportunities. Despite past builder insolvencies, he emphasises risk management in development lending and praises Australia’s robust market.

As private credit matures, Alan points out a rising trend from public to private markets globally, hinting at Australia’s potential growth. With a new real estate credit fund in Singapore, diverse currency options and tax benefits await investors.
