Macquarie Group was founded on a philosophy of financial innovation. In fact, our name celebrates one of Australia’s first financial innovators: Governor Lachlan Macquarie, creator of the Holey Dollar. Our operating principle is Forward Thinking; providing our clients with next-generation ideas is in our very DNA.
Financial strength. Macquarie Group manages $332 billion in assets globally and is listed on the Australian stock exchange. The company holds in excess of $32 billion cash in liquid assets on its balance sheet and retains more than $3.5 billion in surplus regulatory capital.* Founded in 1969, Macquarie has had a continuous history of profitability.
Assets managed. Macquarie’s assets are a part of our daily lives. Examples of this include our stake in the Detroit-Windsor tunnel, the reconstruction and funding of the Sea-to-Sky Highway for the Vancouver Olympics, ownership of Thames Water—the largest water services company in the UK—and major interests in infrastructure and services companies worldwide.
