JT has been involved in banking, finance and funds management activities for 44 years. JT joined the Howard Group in 1987 (later acquired by Challenger International), where he began managing the Howard Mortgage Trust in its fledgling years. By the time JT left Challenger in May 2003, after managing the Howard Mortgage Trust for 16 years, the assets of the Trust had risen to a little under $3 billion to be the largest and consistently the best performing trust of its kind in Australia.

The fund was awarded the Australian fund manager of the year award in the fixed interest category on 7 occasions. The trust was the only fund of its kind to hold five-star ratings from every major research house in Australia.

In March 2004, JT launched the Mariner Mortgage Trust and over the next 4 years oversaw its growth to $250 million to become the best performing fund of its type in Australia.

JT was Chairman of the Financial Services Council (FSC) mortgage fund sector working group from 2005-2010. The aim of the group was to develop better disclosure regulations within the commercial mortgage fund industry and to lobby government on industry issues. Membership included Challenger, AXA, Perpetual, Colonial First State and ING, with total member FUM of more than $30 billion.

JT has an enviable record for not having lost one cent of investor funds even during the GFC, in either his mortgage or property fund activities.

JT has joined Acceler8 Capital as the Chairman of the Credit Committee, an Investment Manager and as a Non-Executive Director.
