Macquarie
Monkeys and Monkettes-
I have a superday with Macquarie this week, so I'm interested in learning more about this Australian investment bank's North American presence. There hasn't been much talk on this site about Macquarie in the last few years with exception to its 1 or 2 year period of poor bonuses during the crisis. Also, like the BBs, the bank has principal investment capabilities, but I am curious if there's any connection between its advisory and PE investing practices or if the two practices are strictly divided like they are at the BBs.
Thanks!
