Longreach Credit Investors

Longreach Credit Investors is an Australian private credit investment management firm based in Sydney, dedicated to providing customised capital solutions to companies and non-bank lenders across Australia and New Zealand. Established in 2017, the firm has rapidly grown its footprint, focusing on the underserved mid-market and lower middle-market SME segments. Longreach Credit Investors aims to deliver consistent, superior risk-adjusted returns to its wholesale investors by prioritising capital preservation and effective volatility management.

What sets Longreach Credit Investors apart is its bespoke approach to financing, prioritising relationships over mere transactions. The team takes the time to deeply understand each borrower's objectives, enabling them to structure tailored capital solutions. Their offerings encompass a wide array of transaction types, including growth capital, acquisition finance, management and leveraged buy-outs, refinancing, dividend recapitalisations, wholesale funding to non-bank lenders, whole loan purchases, and turnaround financing. This flexibility allows them to meet diverse client needs effectively.

Since its inception in 2017, Longreach Credit Investors has demonstrated a robust track record, deploying over $1.3 billion across more than 75 investments by 2018. The firm's investment philosophy is underpinned by strong lender protections, continuous monitoring, and structured deals designed to safeguard investor capital. They maintain a sector-agnostic mandate, consciously excluding investments in direct mining and property sectors where they do not possess core team experience or wish to avoid specific market risks.

The leadership team brings extensive global and local expertise across various credit cycles and sectors. Key figures include Bradley Marr and Adrian Martyn, both Managing Directors and Portfolio Managers, and Alex Nisbet, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Origination. Peter Jones serves as the Chairman of the Investment Committee, while Mitch Taylor is recognised as a co-founder of Longreach Credit Investors. Claudia Martini is a Director in the credit team, responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and managing credit investments. This experienced team, coupled with a leading origination platform, ensures preferred access to high-quality credit investment opportunities.
