Avanti to grow its funds management business

Avanti Finance appoints GM of Avanti Capital to support strategic growth

Tuesday, May 05th 2026

Avanti Finance has appointed Paul Jamieson as General Manager of Avanti Capital, a newly created role that reflects the company’s strategic focus on accelerating the growth of its funds management business.

Avanti Capital was established to scale the funds management platform Avanti Finance launched in 2017. The business focuses on diversifying and expanding Avanti’s investment offering, including mortgage and private credit investment products for institutional, wholesale and high‑net‑worth investors.

Avanti Finance Group CEO Fred Ohlsson said the new role reflects a deliberate investment in Avanti Capital as a key growth pillar alongside the company’s established lending business.

“As Avanti continues to grow, it’s critical that we invest in both sides of our business – lending and funds management. Paul’s appointment into this new role positions Avanti well as we continue to scale our business.”

Jamieson steps into the role after seven years serving as Group Treasurer, where he built a strong treasury function. Treasury will now report to Avanti’s Group Chief Financial Officer, Brad Lang, ensuring continuity and ongoing operational strength.

“This is a reflection of the capability Paul has built,” said Ohlsson. “It allows us to maintain a well- established Treasury function while supporting the next phase of growth for Avanti Capital and the wider Group."
