In addition, the acquisition will enable Investec to transform its business in Australia to focus on its core specialist niches including corporate advisory, aviation finance, resource finance, infrastructure finance and investment, corporate & acquisition finance, financial markets, and property.

Milton Samios of Investec Australia said: "Our commitment to our corporate, institutional, and government clients remains unchanged and IAL is now better positioned to offer clients access to the larger balance sheet and global capabilities of the broader Investec Group".

"In recent months Investec has advised PAS and SCA on their listing, and recently advised the shareholders of Ingeus on the sale of their business to Providence Service Corporation, provided acquisition facilities to Northern Star and Troy Resources, launched a new aircraft leasing business, and announced a partnership with the South Australian Government to deliver a unique affordable housing solution in Adelaide," Samios added.
