It gives us great pleasure to announce today the successful completion of the Merger between Regal Funds Management and VGI Partners Limited, creating a market-leading provider of alternative investment strategies with total funds under management of ~$5.6 billion.1
The ASX-listed Merged Entity has been re-named Regal Partners Limited, with the ASX ticker code to change from ‘VGI’ to ‘RPL’ in the coming days.
The completion of the Merger represents an exciting new chapter for the Merged Group, providing investors with access to four specialist alternative investment managers – Regal Funds Management, VGI Partners, Kilter Rural and Attunga Capital – with capabilities across hedge funds, private markets and real asset investment strategies.
Combined, the Group employs over 100 staff, including more than 40 investment professionals, with offices located across Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, New York and Tokyo. Both Regal Funds Management and VGI Partners will continue to operate as investment businesses within the Regal Partners Limited Group.
Over the coming weeks, we look forward to introducing our investors to Regal Partners and providing more detail on the considerable benefits we believe the combined group can deliver to clients across all of our investment management businesses.
As always, our Investor Relations team are available to provide any additional information that investors and their advisors may seek in relation to the Merger. Please reach out directly on investorrelations@regalfm.com.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Brendan O’Connor
CEO
Regal Partners Limited
