The Monta Capital Story

Thomas Balashev, founder of Monta Capital

Where it started

Monta Capital was founded in London in 2020 with a simple idea: some of the most interesting property opportunities sit between traditional development, private investment and institutional finance. We started by building relationships with private investors and developers and expanded transaction by transaction.

Starting in a pandemic

Launching in 2020 meant being careful from day one. We started by supporting developers we knew and built trust project by project. In 2021 we issued our first property-backed bond.

Two markets

Portugal followed naturally. We saw how the depth and liquidity of the London market could sit alongside the lifestyle-led demand of Lisbon and the Algarve. Today we work across Portugal and London.

Two strategies

In 2024 we formalised our lending activity into a dedicated Private Credit strategy. Monta Capital now invests through two complementary strategies: Real Estate Equity and Private Credit.

Looking ahead

Portugal is now the centre of our work, and we are building an established team there. As we grow, we stay close to the projects, the numbers and the people involved in every decision.

Our Journey
