Stars
As a global leader in renewable development, Green Investment Group (GIG) drives rapid growth as governments target net-zero by 2050, with Macquarie reporting GIG-owned capacity ~13 GW and project pipeline >30 GW as of Dec 2025.
Macquarie holds a dominant share in offshore wind and utility solar, having invested over US$12.5bn in GIG since 2020, requiring ongoing capital reinvestment to sustain cost leadership.
GIG is the core of Macquarie’s future growth strategy, balancing high capex—annual development spend ~US$1.2–1.6bn—with strong market positioning and expected IRRs above corporate targets.
Macquarie Bank’s Digital Retail Banking (Australia) is a Star in the BCG matrix, having grown deposits by 28% YoY to A$45.2bn and lifted retail lending market share to 6.8% by Q4 2025, siphoning customers from the Big Four with a digital-first UX and targeted premium segments.
Revenue from the division rose 34% in FY2025 to A$1.1bn, driven by 320k net new active customers and a 2.1% net interest margin on digital products, underscoring high unit economics.
To sustain 20–25% CAGR and retain leadership, Macquarie must keep investing ~A$200–250m annually in software, cloud scaling, and digital onboarding to avoid congested growth and margin pressure.
Macquarie Capital leads global energy transition advisory, advising on deals worth >$120bn since 2020 and capturing ~18% of EU/NA renewables M&A pipeline in 2024, positioning it as a Star in the BCG matrix.
The sector is growing fast: institutional green investment hit $925bn globally in 2024, driving demand for infrastructure upgrades in Europe and North America and expanding addressable market by ~12% YoY.
Macquarie’s first-mover deals and proprietary research give high market share but require sustained hiring—headcount in renewables advisory rose 27% from 2022–2024—and increased R&D spend to defend growth.
Commodities and Global Markets (CGM) Specialized Platforms
CGM leverages Macquarie’s leading position in energy and physical commodities to provide liquidity and hedging; revenue grew ~18% in FY2024 to about AUD 1.2bn, driven by higher volatility and complex client needs.
High growth persists as demand for structured hedges rises, but CGM ties up large regulatory capital and tech spend—estimated cash deployment ~AUD 450m in 2024 for margin, collateral, and systems.
- Revenue FY2024 ≈ AUD 1.2bn
- Growth ≈ 18% YoY
- Cash deployed ≈ AUD 450m
- High margin but capital intensive
Private Markets Infrastructure Funds
Macquarie Asset Management (MAM) stays a global infrastructure leader, overseeing about USD 200bn in infrastructure and real assets as of Dec 2025, capturing demand from modernized logistics and utilities.
Private markets remain sought-after for inflation-protected cash flows; global private infrastructure fundraising hit ~USD 160bn in 2024–25, so Macquarie must keep launching funds to meet investor demand.
To retain market share MAM needs sizable capital commitments—often USD 1bn+ per fund—plus co-investment capacity to win large-scale global assets and long-term concessions.
- Assets under management: ~USD 200bn (Dec 2025)
- Private infra fundraising: ~USD 160bn (2024–25)
- Typical flagship fund size: USD 1bn+
- Strategy: ongoing fund launches + co-invest capital
Stars: GIG (13 GW owned, >30 GW pipeline Dec 2025), Digital Retail (A$45.2bn deposits, 28% YoY), Macquarie Capital (>$120bn deals since 2020, 18% EU/NA share 2024), CGM (AUD 1.2bn rev FY2024), MAM (~USD 200bn AUM Dec 2025).

Cash Cows
Macquarie holds a mature, high-share position in Australian residential mortgages, accounting for about 5–6% of the market and producing steady net interest income—A$2.1bn in home-lending NII in FY2024.
Loan book growth has stabilized near 3–4% annually, so marketing spend is low versus earlier expansion, yielding reliable cash flow and ~60% loan portfolio ROA stability.
These mortgage cash flows funded A$1.2bn of group investment into international expansion and A$450m into technology and platforms in 2024, fueling higher-growth initiatives abroad.
Macquarie Asset Management Public Investments manages over US$A370 billion in equities and fixed-income for institutional and retail clients globally (FY2025), generating steady fee revenue and 12–14% operating margins typical for mature asset managers.
Operating in a saturated, low-growth market segment, the unit’s high AUM and recurring fees produce predictable cash flows, classifying it as a cash cow within Macquarie Bank’s BCG matrix.
With core distribution, compliance, and investment platforms already built, incremental capital expenditure is low, so ROI on additional AUM remains high and cash generation is reliably sustained.
The Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) business banking unit in Australia delivers steady fee and lending income, contributing about A$1.1bn in net interest and fees for Macquarie Group in FY2024 and showing low annual market growth (~2% in 2023–24).
Macquarie holds concentrated share in professional niches—estimated >20% share in healthcare and legal services financing—yielding high customer retention and low acquisition costs.
With limited growth but strong loyalty, SME banking serves as a primary liquidity source, funding higher-risk Macquarie ventures via stable deposits and predictable cashflow.
Global Infrastructure Equity Management
Global Infrastructure Equity Management at Macquarie Bank sits as a Cash Cow: mature toll roads, utilities, and energy assets generate predictable cash flows—Macquarie’s Listed Infrastructure funds returned c.6.5% yield in 2024 and its infrastructure platform held ~A$120bn of assets under management at end-2024, producing steady distributable income.
These assets operate in regulated, stable markets with high entry barriers and dominant positions, giving long-term EBITDA visibility and low capex intensity; cash is routinely paid to shareholders or used to service Macquarie’s corporate and project debt (interest coverage ratios typically >3x across core portfolios).
Here’s the quick math and takeaways: stable asset base + A$120bn AUM → recurring yield ~6.5% → strong free cash for dividends/debt service; what this hides: reinvestment needs in renewables and regulatory risk in certain jurisdictions.
- Assets: toll roads, utilities, energy infrastructure
- AUM: ~A$120bn (end-2024)
- Typical yield: ~6.5% (2024)
- Interest coverage: commonly >3x in core assets
- Use of cash: shareholder distributions and debt service
Corporate and Asset Finance (Leasing)
Macquarie Bank’s Corporate and Asset Finance (Leasing) is a cash cow: long-standing expertise in tech and transport leasing generates stable, recurring income—Macquarie reported A$37.2bn of lease assets under management at FY2024, supporting steady fee and interest margins.
As a mature unit, it leverages deep client relationships and efficient operations to sustain high margins; FY2024 segment ROE roughly matched group mid-teens levels, and required minimal incremental capital to preserve cash flows.
Market-leading positions in niche leasing reduce growth capex needs; steady contract renewals and modest depreciation capex keep return on assets elevated and free cash flow predictable.
- Lease assets A$37.2bn (FY2024)
- Mid-teens segment ROE (FY2024)
- High recurring fees, low incremental capital
- Concentrated strength: tech and transport niches
Macquarie’s cash cows—Australian mortgages (5–6% share; A$2.1bn NII FY2024), Asset Management Public Investments (A$370bn AUM FY2025; 12–14% margins), SME banking (A$1.1bn net interest/fees FY2024), Infrastructure (A$120bn AUM end‑2024; ~6.5% yield), and Leasing (A$37.2bn lease assets FY2024)—generate predictable cash to fund growth.
| Business | Key metric |
|---|---|
| Mortgages | A$2.1bn NII FY2024 |
| Asset Mgmt | A$370bn AUM FY2025 |
| SME | A$1.1bn revenue FY2024 |
| Infrastructure | A$120bn AUM; 6.5% yield |
| Leasing | A$37.2bn assets FY2024 |
