Staff discussion at Ark Capital

Building on the strong foundations of The Murray Direct Mortgage Fund, established in 1974, we help investors and borrowers build wealth through attractive and secured property investment and funding solutions. Our strict due diligence process means we proactively manage risk. This has resulted in an impressive track record since day one.

Key to our success is a deep industry and market knowledge, tried-and-tested risk management processes and a range of different strategic partnerships. Collaborating with property developers who spearhead exciting social, commercial and living investments, we only select investments that we know will hit the mark for our clients.
