Nicholas Christofi to spearhead new debt and insurance advisory firm

A new real estate debt advisory firm, Karis Capital, has launched to market.

The new firm is being led by CEO Nicholas Christofi and co-founder Demetrios Antoniou, a property investor and entrepreneur with a background in investment banking.

Christofi was a co-founder of Sirius Property Finance and recently left the firm to set up Karis Capital.

Antoniou, who has successfully scaled significant Social Housing and Housing Association ventures, will leverage his family office’s expertise and connections for Karis' clientele.

The London-based firm will offer nationwide counsel on debt and equity including development funding, short-term lending, investment finance, commercial mortgages, high net worth mortgages, asset finance and commercial insurance.

Karis will deliver a bespoke value proposition, working as a strategic partner for developers and investors. The firm will work as an external financial director for its clients, not only facilitating finance, but also providing a blueprint to guide them through the increasingly complex real estate financing landscape.

Karis Capital's board and executive team will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

As part of its launch, Karis will also be unveiling a range of exclusive limited products developed in collaboration with key lenders.

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.”
