Metrics managing partner departs

Metrics Credit Partners has announced that managing partner Graham McNamara has advised the board of his intention to retire, effective 31 March 2026.

Metrics said McNamara's retirement forms part of a "carefully managed" leadership transition plan.

"He will remain fully engaged in the business until his retirement date and will continue in an advisory role thereafter to ensure continuity for investors and clients," Metrics said.

The board congratulated McNamara on an "exceptional career spanning more than 45 years across banking, funds management and financial markets".

"As a founding shareholder and managing partner, McNamara has played an important role in Metrics' success, contributing to the firm's strategy, growth and reputation since its inception in 2011," Metrics said.

"His experience and leadership have helped build Metrics into one of Australia's leading private markets asset management firms with more than $30 billion in assets under management."

Metrics managing partner and group chief executive Andrew Lockhart said McNamara has always been a key contributor to the company's success.

"His influence extends beyond our business. On behalf of the firm, I thank him for his friendship, outstanding contribution and valued partnership over the past 14 years. He leaves with our deepest gratitude and best wishes for his future retirement," Lockhart said.

Commenting on his decision to retire, McNamara said it was a privilege to establish and grow Metrics.

"I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved - building a leading private markets asset management firm with a strong culture, robust investment discipline and deep relationships across the market. After more than 45 years in financial services, the time feels right to step back," McNamara said.

"I leave knowing the firm is in very capable hands and look forward to watching Metrics' continued success in the years ahead."
