Metrics Credit Partners (“Metrics”), a leading Australian based alternative asset management firm, has today successfully completed the acquisition of Taurus Finance Group Pty Ltd (“Taurus”) and BC Investment Group Holdings Ltd (“BC Invest”).

The acquisitions represent a major strategic milestone for Metrics, accelerating the firm’s expansion into consumer and commercial lending, providing further opportunities for investors in private credit.

Taurus and BC Invest are to be integrated into Navalo Financial Services Group (“Navalo”) which will serve as a direct origination platform, offering an alternative source of financing, spanning both consumer and business needs.

Metrics now manages in excess of A$30 billion in assets, including three ASX-listed funds – Metrics Master Income Trust (ASX:MXT), Metrics Income Opportunities Trust (ASX:MOT), and Metrics Real Estate Multi-Strategy Fund (ASX:MRE) – alongside a suite of wholesale and retail unlisted investment products.

Metrics Group CEO and Managing Partner, Andrew Lockhart said the acquisitions support Metrics’ long-term strategy of expanding access to private credit.

“The integration of Taurus and BC Invest is an important step in Metrics’ growth, expanding our reach and reinforcing our commitment to deliver value for both borrowers and investors. We’re pleased to welcome the Taurus and BC Invest teams into the Metrics Group and are confident their expertise will play a key role in the continued success of our combined business.

Metrics is now firmly established as one of Australia’s largest private markets investment firms, with a diversified platform that spans institutional, corporate, and now consumer and commercial finance.

Metrics’ scale enhances our ability to originate high-quality investment opportunities and offer investors access to well-managed, diversified private credit products. We remain entirely focused on our core strengths: raising capital through trusted channels, deploying it with discipline into high-quality investments, and managing risk with robust governance to deliver strong, consistent outcomes for our investors.”
