Moelis Australia hires for further expansion into private credit

Moelis Australia has appointed former co-founder and head of credit at Dinimus Capital, Oliver Trajcevski, as a managing director with the firm.

Trajcevski will "play a key role in Moelis Australia's further expansion into private credit with the creation of a new fund focusing on SME and mid-corporate lending set to open in late 2019/early 2020," the firm said.

Commenting on the appointment, head of asset management Andrew Martin added: "Credit is a core area of specialty across both Asset Management and in Corporate Advisory. Oliver will augment the firm's existing deep credit capability."

Prior to founding Dinimus Capital, Trajcevski established the corporate business at Fortress Capital and led credit due diligence and underwriting at GE Commercial.

Of his new role, he said: "I am delighted to be joining a growing business that is ready to support the scale of opportunities I currently see available to investors in private credit ... I expect we can enter the private credit space with significant momentum."
