ASIC released a briefing document prepared for a September 2024 meeting between ASIC leadership and Macquarie Bank's CEO. The briefing outlined ASIC's regulatory interest in private market transactions and private equity activity, noting that Australian private market investment (~$150-200 billion) remains small compared to the superannuation sector (~$3.4 trillion) and global private markets (~USD24 trillion). ASIC emphasized its monitoring and engagement approach rather than a fixed regulatory position, while also referencing the Financial Accountability Regime obligations requiring Macquarie Group to cooperate with ASIC in an open and constructive manner. The document indicates prior feedback had been given regarding Macquarie's "legalistic engagement" on a Markets Disciplinary matter, with subsequent improvements noted. Substantial portions of the briefing were redacted citing confidentiality provisions and legal privilege protections.
