Episode Details

Australia’s fifth-largest lender just hit pause on new loans to trusts and companies—and the headlines have been wild. In this episode, we’ll cut through the noise and show you what actually changed… and what smart investors can do next.

What we’re diving into:

• Why Macquarie Bank paused trust/company lending (and why it’s more “recalibration” than meltdown)
• How this fits into today’s lending climate (rates, buffers, and real borrowing capacity)
• Practical moves if you invest via entities, or you’re deciding whether you should
• The playbook to keep progressing responsibly in 2025/26

Featuring: Callum Rhodes (Head of Dashdot Finance)
