Mosman 's 'Merchant Mansions'
The merchant bankers’ Mosman merry-go-round is a feature of the Mosman property market.
 * Mosman has more than 5000 houses with about 240 on the harbourfront and about 60 inland with tennis courts. Either can rank among the true trophy properties.
 * Until the global financial crisis, Mosman vendors enjoyed the home-buying spree that followed, like clockwork, the cash-dominated bonuses given to successful merchant bankers.
 * But the bonus-inspired property purchases disappeared during the depths of the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis, and the after-effects lingered until recently.
 * The ongoing decline in bonuses among merchant bankers and financial sector executives, and share options that are lapsing due to the weak sharemarket have all seriously impacted on the prestige property market.
 * It's the Macquarie Bank boss Nicholas Moore and wife Helen who've signalled the prestigious suburb still has some internal movement. They are soon to upgrade to a $13 million contemporary harbourfront home on MiddleHarbour, having lived elsewhere in a Federation Mosman house that cost just over $1 million in 1991. [8]

 * SMH FEBRUARY 8 2010 A bonus is a must, says the real estate crowd

A cutback in executive performance payments has implications for those selling houses, writes Property Editor Jonathan Chancellor.
 * Luxury home estate agents do not like the aftermath of the December 17 Macquarie Bank shareholders meeting on remuneration arrangements.
 * The Macquarie meeting decided that henceforth its staff bonuses will be typically split equally between cash and shares, a decision prompted to head off any crackdown on bankers' pay by government regulators in the wake of the global financial crisis and government bailouts.
 * Estate agents fear the home-buying spree in Sydney's merchant banker belts that followed, like clockwork, past cash-dominated bonuses might not happen for a second consecutive year.
 * But a subsequent $6 million-plus purchase of a Mosman residence by a long-time director of Macquarie Europe, Darren Keogh, may assuage some agents' concerns. Settlement is not due until June, shortly after Macquarie pays its new-style bonuses in May.

During the depths of the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis, the property purchases that followed executive bonuses virtually disappeared, estate agent John McGrath said.
 * ''The suburbs that were home to Sydney's finance and banking executives suffered tremendously from lack of buyers as well as a large amount of available property offered for sale, albeit quietly.
 * This will reverse quickly as buyers look to take advantage of the tail end of the financial crisis and upgrade before the expected market rises take place.[[image:https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IMiIenGwRozbqaQ9YVTXc4JLkWFSMPWezxqIrP3IIha8_e1dxC-kD8tPmSAAoNGn-W5DijkZ0_WUnGft-wpm7tZp0fvyp8nc4Nhzvd6OMSASZoggtVAN7ianhzbLGaUXfLS-0iW1yNzjILP-H2-R1vzn-K_Mz53TAa1aiN6SrzdvOanQOnOCPftY9lE2ZEBqUS__3bOTuAMVsVrOs3xUS6eG09_cjwj9G7RpvuWKbCUb_D_Kl-tvCUZiwEJEZbcxC0tRl8QdWjEvg-VdvcRUxPOiYK_7xKgPidEWmG2VJoQth7zdm6gpF7XZqXvj9ZfcZUvee5Pacy9QGk6StjrAihuyT7aiET1Bzcpv453U5YMk8kGPLPulq8f52KVo9UJ9bvzgVtCFXEj32Rz0zV6sEyTm2MA6T0E3uWvfJ89Cu8trTlkHMmiHjiFBuw-huoCdYKcxjRXwRcviBk0FfbLGD6C82o4Ard8lLg3tagVoYdfPbTsqOHBRJUdxHdHxfDK1DBzHcRlTsVMZOs5HDf3geoQCLgIH99xCvqASP2UYTPw-v96td5IDv1BR8c7Vl1TMo_o5Iyrdtu2v0CETQurCYPLHPaq1SPxsZnJ4Gky3Dxj50aR6vPAf2A=w551-h722-no align="right" caption="Bradleys Head Road Conservation Area, Mosman NSW"]]

Stephen Bellotti, the head of global fund managers BlueSkyCapital, has made a $9 million plunge back into the Mosman market. His Iluka Road purchase - which had $12 million expectations on its initial 2008 listing - comes 13 years after offloading his last Mosman house for $1.8 million.
 * Mr Bellotti, previously the global head of capital markets at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in London, gave his address in the interim as Cheyne Walk, SW10 London.

 * In a quick sale that took less than a month, a local Mosman buyer with links to the investment banking circuit snapped up the home, one of the jewels of the lower north shore exclusive suburb.
 * In three weeks at least five parties, including a foreign buyer, inspected the palatial period 2244sq m home with gun-barrel views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
 * The Hofbauers, now based in London for work and university, have owned the home for 15 years, but have not spent much time at the residence which comes with a pool and a tennis court.
 * Mr Hofbauer said it was a sad decision to sell the home, which also bore memories of many Babcock & Brown celebratory parties. Babcock & Brown consolidated in late 2010 after collapsing during the global financial crisis.
 * He now oversees infrastructure investments at Hermes, which is owned by BT Pension Scheme in London, while his children study at Oxford University.
 * When the Hofbauers bought 30 Bradleys Head Road in 2001 for $7.15 million, it set a non-waterfront record for the suburb.

The property also has a cedar climate-controlled wine cellar and separate self-contained accommodation for guests.
 * The entrance of the property has a marble foyer with a soaring ornate arched hallway and there is also a three-car garage.

** Purchase History **

Back in 2008 Eddie Listorti, then the head of fixed income currency and commodities capital markets with Dresdner Kleinwort Bank in London, and his wife, Melanie, had their Bayview property for sale. More than $4.2 million had been expected for the 4,047 square metre property with views over Pittwater's Salt Pan Cove which sold at $2.82 million in 2009. Listorti reports to former Dresdner colleague, Steve Bellotti, who took up the post of managing director global markets at ANZ also in 2010. He too owns at Mosman and Palm Beach.
 * His current job includes presiding over vast gold reserves in Singapore where the ANZ has a vault given demand from investors for gold bars, rather than exposure via goldmining stocks or exchange-traded funds.
 * ANZ has its 50-tonne vault at the FreePort facility adjacent to the city's Changi Airport. It is a major player handling about 15% of the globe's production.
 * It sells the bullion solely to central banks, sovereign wealth funds and other banks with demand from investors seeking diversification into physical assets on fears amid the various economic crisises of late.
 * "Asians like to walk in and actually see the gold they own," he told News Ltd papers last year.
 * Bellotti was previously global head of capital markets at the German dealer in London and has also held senior executive positions at Merrill Lynch in London, New York, Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore.
