First Mortgage Trust creates another new role

Oscroft is well-known in New Zealand’s investment industry and brings a wealth of expertise to FMT.

He spent 24 years at Colliers International and the past two as an investment adviser at Tauranga-based Mackersy Property.

Oscroft has experience in investment management and capital raising across real estate markets in both New Zealand and overseas.

FMT chief executive Paul Bendall says, “The addition of Charlie as investor relationship manager underscores our commitment to continue to provide excellent service to our investors and executing our strategic plans.”

“It’s great to welcome someone of Charlie’s calibre to the team. This is another new role we have recently created, demonstrating our growth and strategic vision to take FMT to the next level.

“In spite of a challenging economic environment, FMT is performing well and continues to grow. We’ve just hit $1.7 billion in funds under management and we’re launching our new wholesale fund, which allows us to meet the growing needs of our borrowers and creates a more diverse and funding pool for all our investors.”
