27 November 2023

The new debt and insurance advisory firm will offer an unparalleled fusion of expertise and innovation

Karis Capital has announced its launch as a premier real estate debt advisory firm with plans to redefine how developers and investors navigate the complexities of real estate financing.

The new firm is being led by CEO Nicholas Christofi, who has established reputation in structured finance, and Co-Founder Demetrios Antoniou, an accomplished property investor and entrepreneur with a background in investment banking.

With extensive experience in crafting complex financial strategies for prominent developers and investors in the UK, Christofi brings a visionary approach to Karis that goes beyond that of conventional debt advisors. Antoniou, who has successfully scaled significant Social Housing and Housing Association ventures, now leverages his family office’s expertise and connections to the benefit of Karis clientele.

The City of London based firm will offer nationwide expert counsel on debt and equity including development funding, short-term lending, investment finance, commercial mortgages, High Net Worth (HNW) mortgages, asset finance and commercial insurance.

Karis will deliver a bespoke value proposition, working as a strategic partner for developers and investors alike. The firm fills a unique role as an external Financial Director (FD) for its clients, not only facilitating finance, but also providing a blueprint to guide them through the increasingly complex real estate financing landscape.

A testament to the depth of expertise within Karis Capital is its distinguished board and executive team, whose names will be unveiled in the coming weeks. This esteemed group reflects the firm's dedication to excellence and its pledge to provide clients with unparalleled strategic guidance.

As part of its launch, Karis will also be unveiling a range of exclusive limited products developed in collaboration with key lenders. Furthermore, to demonstrate a commitment to building relationships over transactions, it is offering complimentary financial strategy reviews for developers and investors.

Nicholas Christofi, CEO and Co-founder of Karis Capital, commented:

“We are thrilled to bring Karis Capital to the real estate community. Our goal is to redefine the way developers and investors approach financing. We are not just offering solutions; we are building enduring partnerships that fuel success”.
