Show Notes
Andrew Schwartz is the Co-Founder and Group Managing Director of Qualitas, one of Australia's largest alternative real estate investment managers. Alternative debt providers are a relatively new asset class on the ASX. As banks move away from lending to non residential real estate, the likes of Qualitas have stepped in... and done so very successfully. In Part A we discuss what the impact of rising interest rates on Qualitas and step through the last major rates cycle from 2007 to 2010... there are some parallels to today. Andrew also talks about how Qualitas manages risk and balances that with generating returns for clients. Qualitas has approximately $5bn of funds under management, last financial year deployed $1.9bn of capital and was listed on the ASX in December, 2021. Ethical Partners owns Qualitas shares.
