Access. Selectivity.
Discipline.
Founded in 2012 by Michael Hynes and Domenic Lo Surdo, Stamford Capital Investments is a specialist real estate investment manager providing wholesale investors with access to selectively originated investment opportunities across the Australian real estate market.
As the investment arm of Stamford Capital Australia – Australia’s leading commercial real estate finance arranger – Stamford Capital Investments benefits from the scale, connectivity and intelligence of Stamford’s national origination platform.
Our 13-year track record of zero investor capital losses reflects this highly selective investment philosophy, underpinned by rigorous due diligence, disciplined underwriting and a strong focus on capital preservation and downside protection.
“Exceptional investment outcomes begin with exceptional origination. Our advisory business provides a window into the commercial real estate market that few investment managers possess, giving us early visibility of opportunities, deeper market insight and the discipline to invest selectively on behalf of our investors.”
The Origination Advantage
Stamford Capital Australia arranged more than $5 billion in commercial real estate finance in FY26, doubling origination volumes from approximately $2.5 billion in the prior financial year. This scale provides SCIM with access to an extensive pipeline of opportunities, proprietary transaction data and real-time market intelligence drawn directly from live deal flow across the Australian property market.
These insights provide a deep understanding of market conditions, asset values, capital structures and risk, helping us identify opportunities and assess risk with a level of visibility that is difficult to replicate.
With a national pipeline exceeding $12 billion, SCIM has the breadth of opportunity to remain highly selective – backing only the projects, sponsors and investment opportunities that meet our investment criteria and offer compelling risk-adjusted returns.
Scale gives us choice. We invest selectively.
What do we invest in?
We invest across a broad range of Australian real estate asset classes, including commercial, industrial, retail, residential development and other selectively identified opportunities.
Our flexible investment mandate allows us to invest across the capital stack through equity, preferred equity and subordinated debt, enabling us to structure investments according to the specific characteristics, risk profile and return potential of each opportunity.
Rather than being constrained to a single asset class, geography or investment structure, we take a disciplined and opportunity-led approach, selectively deploying capital where we believe we can achieve the most compelling risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
Equity
Direct equity and joint venture positions in commercial property and residential development projects, capturing upside through capital appreciation and profit participation.
Preferred Equity
Structured preferred equity positions offering priority distributions ahead of common equity, providing an enhanced income yield with defined downside protection.
Subordinate Debt
Mezzanine and subordinate debt instruments secured against real property, delivering consistent income returns with contractual repayment obligations.
