The Rules of Investing

From cold call to capital giant: The Metrics story in Lockhart’s words


Listen Later

For all the scrutiny on private credit of late, one thing remains clear – there remains an insatiable demand for it from investors.

Case in point, the recent $315 million raise by Metrics Credit Partners for the Metrics Master Income Trust. It was done in a day.

Yet for the man often at the centre of the conversation, Metrics co-founder and Chief Investment Officer, Andrew Lockhart, the mission remains the same as when Metrics was born 12 years ago: raise capital, deploy it sensibly, and above all else, manage the ongoing risks accordingly.

"You're fundamentally here to deliver a good outcome for people in terms of their investments.
And you never lose sight of the fact that our whole business is set up to effectively manage risk to ensure that we can deliver on our commitments and obligations to our investors," said Lockhart. 

That unwavering focus, coupled with an ‘always on’ work ethic, has seen Lockhart and his team grow Metrics to $30 billion of assets under management, with no signs of slowing down.

In this episode of The Rules of Investing, Lockhart discusses the conditions that led to the birth of Metrics, its phenomenal growth, and the ongoing challenges that it and the private credit sector face.

He also unpacks the current market conditions and what lower interest rates will mean for Metrics’ opportunity set and potential returns for investors. Finally, he shares an exciting new growth opportunity that leverages the company’s existing relationships and skillset.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from someone who has been instrumental in shaping Australia's private credit landscape.
