Australian financial services group Macquarie is raising A$1bn (€608m) for investments in several sectors, such as renewables.
Macquarie said A$1bn is expected to be invested in the current quarter, ending 30 September including investments in the renewables, technology and infrastructure sectors.
Investments will be in most regions and made primarily by Macquarie Capital.
Macquarie Group chief executive Shemara Wikramanayake, said: “We have continued to identify opportunities to invest capital with the potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns for shareholders over the medium term.
“Raising new capital at this point allows us to maintain strategic flexibility in light of these opportunities.”
The money is being raised through an institutional placement, with further funds coming through a share purchase plan.
