Following the boutique agency's inception in 2018, HTL Property has continued to grow and evolve in concert with  changing markets and customer needs; and as such today proudly confirms the next iteration of the specialist  business in the form of HTL Private Office.

Already offering expert brokerage and advisory services in the form of HTL Property (Pubs and Accommodation), HTL  Capital Partners (Debt Origination) and HTL Investment Management (Advisory), HTL Private Office will extend the  leading firm's portfolio of service based businesses by providing a bespoke debt and wealth advisory function to high  net worth individuals and their families.

The new venture will be fronted by the highly experienced banker, Vasco Duarte; who is the National Director and Co Founder of HTL Private Office.

Vasco, with over two decades of experience in the banking and finance sectors, has  established himself as a dynamic leader with a strong track record of driving business growth, particularly in emerging  and mature debt markets across Australia.

“Having spent a whole career in banking, and in doing so having seen first hand the need to balance a client’s wealth  creation objectives with wealth preservation needs, I’m very much looking forward to aligning my own personal high  levels of integrity and professionalism with those I know already exist at HTL Property” commented Vasco Duarte, Co Founder and National Director of HTL Private Office.

At HTL Private Office, Vasco will manage a team of industry-leading professionals who specialise in structured finance,  property development, and asset protection. HTL Private Office's expertise will be centered around crafting tailored  financial solutions that empower clients to achieve growth ambitions, whilst navigating the complexities of today's  lending and investment landscapes.

Before co-founding HTL Private Office, Vasco held several executive positions at the Commonwealth Bank, during  which time he consistently demonstrated his ability to lead large teams, implement strategic initiatives, and drive  significant revenue growth. 

"In order to complement our existing suite of customer facing business offerings, we are absolutely delighted and proud  to welcome someone of Vasco's pedigree and experience to HTL; and via the introduction of HTL Private Office"  advised HTL Property Managing Director, Andrew Jolliffe.

"With Vasco's respected background that spans commercial, corporate, private, and retail banking, he brings to HTL a  wealth of knowledge and a results-oriented approach. Accordingly, we are both excited about and determined to  continue to deliver our valued client base with innovative and market leading solutions" concluded HTL Capital Partners  National Director, Rick Woelms.
