Macquarie Group is an Australia-based, diversified global financial services organisation.

Macquarie operates in more than 30 markets worldwide, which gives it exposure to global trends (infrastructure, energy transition, commodities) rather than being purely domestic.
Macquarie is widely credited as a pioneer of infrastructure investing. It launched some of the world’s first infrastructure funds, financing airports, toll roads, and utilities globally and is seen as a global leader with the largest AUM in infrastructure funds as at the end of March 2025.
Macquarie blends traditional banking with investment banking, commodities trading, and global asset management — giving it flexibility across market cycles.
Macquarie offers diversified exposure to global capital markets, with lower cyclicality than in previous periods. Even amid rising recession risks and potential trade tensions, the group’s broad footprint across geographies, business lines, and client segments provides resilience and helps smooth earnings volatility.
The company is well positioned for long-term growth through its exposure to key structural themes such as energy transition and security, digital infrastructure, and social infrastructure. Its strategy focuses on patient, adjacent expansion that builds annuity-style income streams while preserving upside potential in favourable market conditions.
Macquarie maintains a conservative balance sheet and robust risk framework, limiting impairment risks while benefiting from higher asset values and growing investor demand in its asset management business. Supported by a strong, proven management team with well-aligned incentives, they continue to demonstrate disciplined execution and consistent value creation for shareholders.
