ALEX MACLACHLAN

Managing Director, Head of Strategy

Alex joined Dixon Advisory (Australia) in 2008 to lead the then newly formed Funds Management division. Alex focused the efforts of the Funds Management division on providing Dixon Advisory clients with access to asset classes and investment opportunities that would normally only be available to institutional investors. From funds under management of under $100 million at the time of his start, Alex grew the Funds Management division to over $1.5 billion of funds under management today, with investments across residential and commercial property, fixed income, private equity, and listed equities and commodities.

Following his success in growing the Funds Management division, Alex moved to New York in mid-2013, where, in addition to his role as CEO of Funds Management, he now also leads the strategy and growth of Dixon Advisory USA. Alex conceived the idea of establishing a business to acquire and manage homes in urban areas experiencing strong growth and gentrification in 2008. Between 2008 and 2010, Alex researched and developed the investment thesis and business model for what would become Dixon Advisory USA, and in late 2010, Dixon Advisory USA was launched.

Prior to joining Dixon Advisory, Alex was an investment banker at UBS, where he rose to Head of Energy for Australasia. During his tenure in investment banking, Alex worked on more than $100 billion in mergers and acquisitions and capital markets transactions, advising some of the world’s leading companies.

Alex has a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University and a Masters of Business Administration from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
