In this episode of The Manager Mix, host Laura Dew, editor at Money Management, speaks with Haley Devine, Head of Wealth Management at MaxCap Group, as she unpacks the evolving role of private credit and commercial real estate within adviser portfolios. Haley brings a clear, market‑grounded perspective to the discussion, drawing on current trends, capital flows and the structural forces reshaping opportunities across the sector.
She delves into the areas of commercial real estate that are showing the most promise, the considerations wealth managers should focus on when assessing private credit funds and the hallmarks of experienced managers in an increasingly crowded market. The conversation also covers practical expectations around liquidity in private markets and how Australia’s improving commercial real estate backdrop is influencing both investment positioning and borrower activity.
