Real Estate Credit — Stanley Hsieh, Managing Director
Stanley Hsieh, Managing Director of the MM Real Estate Credit Fund, Aura Group
Stanley Hsieh joined Aura Group in 2025 and is the Managing Director of Real Estate Credit and a member of the Investment Committee.
Stanley is responsible for sourcing, structuring, and managing the AREC Fund portfolio, with a focus on secured, low-risk real estate credit opportunities across Australia.
Before joining Aura in 2025, Stanley spent a decade at MA Financial, where he was an early member of the asset management team. In 2017, he became a founding member of MA’s real estate credit platform, serving as portfolio and fund manager. During his tenure, he played a key role in scaling the strategy from $20 million to $2.2 billion in funds under management.
Earlier in his career, Stanley founded and operated a boutique property development firm in New Zealand, successfully delivering over 20 residential projects. It was during this period, when he borrowed from private lenders, that he developed a strong conviction in private real estate credit as an asset class. He later brought that vision to life at MA Financial and now continues to pursue it at Aura, focusing on smaller, simpler projects that align with planning reforms and market demand.
Stanley holds an MBA from the University of Auckland and a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) from Victoria University of Wellington.
