Who runs investment decisions at Merricks Capital?
Managing Director Jamie Johnson serves as Chief Investment Officer and leads the firm's investment committee. Andrew Christov oversees origination and deal sourcing across agriculture, real estate, and infrastructure.
How does Merricks Capital source proprietary deal flow?
The firm sources loans directly through a network of brokers, agribusiness consultants, and banking relationships in Australia and New Zealand. It does not rely on auction processes or third-party syndicators for its core credit book.

Which sectors does Merricks Capital avoid?
The firm does not invest in technology, venture capital, mining, oil and gas, or unsecured consumer lending. It restricts itself to asset-backed credit and real assets.
How is Merricks Capital related to the Merricks family?
The firm was established by and remains controlled by the Merricks family, a Australian private wealth group. Its capital base includes family capital alongside institutional mandates from superannuation funds and family offices.
Does Merricks Capital offer co-investment opportunities?
