Company Interview / Qualitas eyeing further growth three years after its IPO

Qualitas CEO Andrew Schwartz (ASX: QAL) shares insights on the company's growth since its IPO three years ago. Andrew notes that Qualitas (ASX: QAL) has matured significantly, with assets under management more than doubling and fee-earning funds tripling. The company achieves a 34% growth rate even in a subdued market.

Schwartz highlights Qualitas's ability to make large investments of up to $500 million, setting it apart from competitors. With Australia dominated by traditional financiers, he sees opportunities for alternate financiers to gain a larger market share, similar to the US and Europe.

Looking ahead, Schwartz outlines growth through real estate credit adjacencies and expanding its equity business, leveraging its strong institutional relationships. He emphasises Australia's macro environment, including immigration and low vacancy rates, as positive tailwinds for residential development.
