John (JT) Thomas, OAM KSS
Chairman of Compliance Committee and Credit Committee Member
John (JT) Thomas is a 49-year veteran of the financial services industry and, since 1987, a specialist in commercial mortgage funds. Considered by many to be the father of the modern commercial mortgage fund sector, JT helped establish and then managed – for 17 years – what became the largest and most successful commercial mortgage fund in Australia – The Howard Mortgage Trust – with assets exceeding $3 billion. Under JT’s stewardship, investors never lost one cent of their investments and indeed, investors always received competitive monthly returns. JT was also Chair of the $40 billion mortgage trust industry sector working group.
JT has been proudly involved with Princeton for nine years and sits on both the Princeton Credit Committee and the Princeton Compliance Committee as well as being an advisor to the Princeton Board.
In June 2022, JT was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the Queen’s birthday honours list, in recognition of his years of “outstanding and meritorious service to the community and to business”.
