Macquarie Group’s shares closed 1.4 per cent higher at a record $143.47 on 16 January; this compares with just $14.75 in early 2009, as the global financial crisis took its toll on investment banks. Macquarie now boasts a market capitalisation of $50.85bn, while it has more than $560bn worth of asset under management. Macquarie posted a profit of $1.46bn for the six months to September, an increase of 11 per cent, although CEO Shemara Wikramanayake has flagged a lower full-year profit than previously.
