The transaction also includes a consideration of nearly $25m, which IOOF previously paid to ANZ for the takeover of the latter’s aligned dealer groups.
ANZ expects the sale to add 20 basis points to its CET1 capital ratio. The deal concludes the bank’s simplification plan of wealth operations that commenced in 2016.
IOOF CEO Renato Mota believes that the P&I deal will significantly add to the firm’s earnings per share.
Mota noted: “The acquisition of P&I will play a key role in the transformation of IOOF into Australia’s leading advice-led wealth management business.
