## Business segments

Macquarie Group reports four operating groups. **Macquarie Asset Management (MAM)** manages investments across private and public markets, including infrastructure, real estate, credit and equities. **Banking and Financial Services (BFS)** comprises personal banking, business banking and wealth management. In the year ended 31 March 2025, MAM contributed A$1.61 billion in net profit and BFS A$1.38 billion—approximately 23% and 20%, respectively, of the four operating groups’ combined net profit contribution. [30](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P35665962)[31](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P24608794)[32](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P98738243)[33](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P2831589)[34](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P41949323)[35](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P107097833)[36](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T3667770)[37](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T10941211)

**Commodities and Global Markets (CGM)** provides commodities and financial-markets services, including risk management, financing, trading and asset finance. **Macquarie Capital** provides advisory and capital-raising services alongside specialist investing in areas such as credit, real estate, infrastructure and energy. Their FY2025 net profit contributions were A$2.83 billion and A$1.04 billion, or approximately 41% and 15% of the four-group total, respectively. These percentages exclude corporate and other costs, so they are not shares of Macquarie Group’s consolidated net profit.

## Company history

Macquarie traces its origins to Hill Samuel Australia, which opened in Sydney on 10 December 1969 with three staff. It became Macquarie Bank Limited in 1985 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 1996. During the 1990s, the business expanded into infrastructure investment, an area that became important to its subsequent growth. [47](https://www.macquarie.com/au/en/about/history.html)

In 2007, Macquarie reorganised under Macquarie Group Limited, a newly listed holding company above Macquarie Bank. It expanded its asset-management business through the acquisition of Delaware Investments in 2010. A Macquarie-led consortium acquired the UK Green Investment Bank in 2017, extending the group’s investment activities in green infrastructure. Shemara Wikramanayake succeeded Nicholas Moore as managing director and chief executive officer in December 2018.
