LOANLAND strengthens leadership team as Dr Heino Betz joins Felix Bindrich at the helm
Frankfurt, 2 June 2026 – Loan Land GmbH (LOANLAND), the Frankfurt-based real estate private debt manager and part of NAS Invest Group, has expanded its senior management team. Dr Heino Betz was appointed Managing Director on 1 June 2026 and will now lead the business alongside Felix Bindrich.
At LOANLAND, Betz will focus in particular on restructuring non-performing and sub-performing real estate loans for third parties. Within NAS Invest Group, he will also assume the role of Head of Restructuring. Bindrich will continue to concentrate on growing the debt fund platform and on attracting German and international institutional investors.
The expanded management structure reflects a market environment still shaped by refinancing pressure, funding gaps and rising demand for restructuring expertise. LOANLAND combines flexible financing solutions for real estate investors with the management of complex and distressed credit exposures, further strengthening its position as a debt capital markets specialist for real estate finance in the DACH region.
Betz’s appointment forms part of NAS Invest’s strategy to selectively expand its refinancing and restructuring activities. In December 2025, the group established VALORIQ Solutions GmbH, a specialist joint venture for refinancing and restructuring. With Betz joining LOANLAND as Managing Director, these capabilities will now be more closely integrated with origination and portfolio management.
Extensive expertise in banking, finance and restructuring
Dr Heino Betz has more than two decades of experience in commercial real estate finance, credit and risk management, portfolio management and investor advisory. Most recently, he was Director Commercial Real Estate at Hamburg Commercial Bank AG, where he held sales and profit-and-loss responsibility for an existing portfolio worth several hundred million euros and secured senior financing mandates from institutional investors and corporates.
Before that, Betz was Managing Director, West Region, at BF.real estate finance GmbH and Head of Debt at HIH Invest Real Estate GmbH. He also spent 15 formative years at Commerzbank AG, where his responsibilities included credit management for the corporate loan book and real estate portfolios worth billions of euros, as well as leading several sales teams. Betz began his career as a senior consultant at McKinsey & Company, advising leading financial institutions on portfolio and credit management issues.
The 51-year-old holds a doctorate in economics from the University of Siegen, awarded summa cum laude.
Joint leadership for the next phase of growth
With Dr Heino Betz and Felix Bindrich, LOANLAND now brings together two complementary senior profiles at the top of the company: restructuring, credit and portfolio management on one side, and debt fund growth and institutional capital on the other.
Bindrich has been with LOANLAND since its launch in 2021 and has been a Managing Director since March 2024. A capital markets and finance specialist, he built his experience at Bankhaus Metzler and consulting firm EY. At LOANLAND, he is driving the expansion of the debt fund platform and opening up new institutional investor relationships in Germany and internationally.
LOANLAND’s product focus is on flexible whole-loan and hybrid financing solutions. These address refinancing challenges and capital gaps arising across different property sectors in the current market environment.
LOANLAND: growth in a challenging market
As investment manager for Luxembourg-domiciled real estate private debt funds, LOANLAND now manages institutional funds with capital commitments in the mid hundreds of millions of euros. With its expanded management team, LOANLAND believes it is well positioned for continued expansion in a demanding market environment and as a partner to banks, institutional investors and real estate companies.
