La Trobe Financial today welcomed specialist investment firm Axight as a minority shareholder of the business.
Axight is an Abu Dhabi-based private equity investment manager focusing on investing across the Asia Pacific region. Axight was established by Lunate, a global investment firm with over US$115 billion in AUM.
Brookfield’s decision to introduce Axight as a minority shareholder reflects the strength and maturity of La Trobe Financial, and its long‑term growth potential within Asia-Pacific real estate credit and investment markets.
The investment brings together highly aligned private markets expertise across La Trobe Financial, Brookfield, Axight and Lunate, creating new opportunities to support the next phase of growth, deepen regional and global relationships, and strengthen capabilities across the business.
La Trobe Financial CEO Chris Andrews said:
“This transaction is a strong endorsement of La Trobe Financial’s position as one of Australia’s most recognised asset managers, with more than A$23 billion in assets under management and a 70‑year+ track record through multiple economic cycles. It reflects the quality and resilience of our platform, the depth of our investor base, and the significant growth opportunities we see across Australian real estate credit and investment markets.”
