Payton Capital rebrands post-acquisition

Payton Capital has received a brand makeover following the acquisition by ASX-listed alternative asset manager HMC Capital in July 2024.

Payton Capital is officially named as HMC Private Credit, in a move to bring the private credit brand in line with the broader HMC Capital group.

While its name has changed, HMC Private Credit said its commitment remains "steadfast" across its service, governance, risk management, and relationship-focused solutions.

It has also confirmed there will be no changes to its current rosters.

"As HMC Private Credit, we continue to provide tailored lending solutions and aim to help our clients build wealth through attractive investment opportunities that provide risk-adjusted returns," head of HMC Private Credit Craig Schloeffel said.

"With over 13 years of experience in Australian commercial real estate private debt, we have successfully funded over $5.5 billion in projects across the country.

"We look forward to continuing our partnership with our clients as HMC Private Credit, delivering the same premium service and expertise."

The firm has presence over various states and has recently opened shops in Perth and the Gold Coast.

It also comes after a hiring spree and by the private credit specialist which began late last year to aim for "extensive growth", as well as the welcoming of a new head of credit in February.
