Metrics adds Evans as investment director

Metrics Credit Partners has appointed debt advisory specialist Ben Evans as an investment director.

Evans was most recently the director of capital advisory at JLL where he worked across a diverse range of domestic and international capital sources including commercial and investment banks, funds, and private capital. He previously was a partner at CapStra and associate director of Pepper Financial Services Group in the property advisory business. Evans spent the bulk of his career with NAB's institutional and corporate property divisions.

"We are pleased to welcome Ben to the team, who brings a wealth of experience that will help us further strengthen our offering to investors and borrowers," said Metrics managing partner Andrew Lockhart. "the appointments are timely as we continue to see demand for funding from a range of corporates and commercial real estate borrowers as the economy reboots from the COVID-19 related downturn. The opportunity for non-bank lenders continues to grow in the Australian and New Zealand markets."

Metrics also appointed several new investment analysts and investment associates in the last month.
