Dealmaking king David Di Pilla has set his sights on taking his alternative asset management platform HMC Capital global after a transformative year that included acquiring the Healthscope private hospital portfolio, raising $1.5 billion from investors and launching three unlisted funds in healthcare, last-mile logistics and private equity.

The flurry of raisings and acquisitions lifted the assets under management of HMC Capital – previously called Home Consortium – to $8.1 billion at the end of June, an increase of 40 per cent, putting it on track to reach a target of $10 billion by the end of the calendar year, 12 months before schedule.
