Brookfield Capital Partners has joined the bidding war for Insignia, the ASX-listed wealth management group behind MLC, matching the $3.1 billion offer in the market from private equity rivals Bain Capital and CC Capital.
Brookfield’s bid, at $4.60 a share, also allows for some Insignia shareholders to stay invested in the business by accepting equity in Brookfield’s unlisted vehicle should it succeed in striking a deal with the target. Insignia oversees $326.8 billion of client money as of December 31.
