Acquisition of Aurora Funds Management Limited
Keybridge Capital Limited (Keybridge) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced acquisition of Aurora Funds Management Limited (AFML), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aurora Funds Limited (Aurora) for $3.82 million plus $2.44 million of net tangible assets. Keybridge expects to receive approximately 20% of the proceeds from the transaction plus existing surplus cash as a result of its shareholding in Aurora.
AFML is the Responsible Entity and Investment Manager for the Aurora Fortitude Absolute Return Fund, the Aurora Absolute Return Fund (ASX:ABW), the Aurora Dividend Income Trust (ASX:AOD), the Aurora Global Income Trust (ASX:AIB), and the Aurora Property Buy-Write Income Trust (ASX:AUP). The collective retail funds under management are approximately $150 million.
The Aurora funds management business was established in 2003 and has a long-term track record of delivering risk adjusted returns to investors. Keybridge’s strong balance sheet will provide AFML with an increased capacity to expand its alternative asset management offering.
Keybridge Capital is a financial services company that has invested in, or lent to, transactions which predominantly are in the core asset classes of infrastructure, listed equity, private equity, lending and property.
