Macquarie Group

Macquarie began in Sydney in 1969 as Hill Samuel Australia, providing advisory and investment-banking services. It has since developed into a diversified financial-services group operating across asset management, banking, wealth management, commodities, financial markets, advisory and capital solutions.

Its strongest franchise is Macquarie Asset Management, which invests across infrastructure, green investments, real estate, credit, equities, multi-asset strategies, insurance solutions and secondaries. It was ranked the world's No. 1 infrastructure investment manager by IPE Real Assets in 2026, based on infrastructure assets under management.

For students, Macquarie offers exposure beyond conventional investment banking: roles span private markets, infrastructure and energy investing, commodities trading and finance, banking, technology, risk, operations and capital-markets advisory. The group describes its culture as entrepreneurial, with teams identifying new opportunities and developing specialist solutions across markets.
