NAB Reshapes Wealth Business With FirstCape Partnership and Updates RBA Rate Outlook Pacific Equity Partners and NAB will jointly control FirstCape after Jarden exits its 18% stake, reshaping ownership of several New Zealand wealth and asset management businesses including JBWere New Zealand, Harbour Asset Management and Consilium.
The new partnership positions NAB alongside a private equity firm in FirstCape’s parent structure, which could influence how these New Zealand wealth operations are managed and grown.
NAB now expects the RBA to lift interest rates in August instead of June, following an unemployment increase to 4.5% in April that was above both its own and wider market forecasts.
This combination of a reshaped wealth partnership and a later expected RBA rate move highlights how NAB is adjusting both its regional wealth footprint and its macro assumptions at the same time.
For investors, the key watchpoints are how the FirstCape structure affects NAB’s broader wealth offering across Australia and New Zealand, and how a later potential rate hike interacts with credit demand, funding costs and customer stress. Declared Dividend • May 06

HSBC Reportedly to Offload Local Retail Bank HSBC Holdings plc (LSE:HSBA) is believed to be just days away from releasing documents into the market for a sale of its Australian retail banking arm, according to sources, which suggest that the business could sell for a price in the billions of dollars. Speculation surfaced at the beginning of the year that HSBC was planning a sale out of Australia, and a move would be consistent with recent strategic moves elsewhere around the global. Sources have suggested that the business had about $40 billion of loans and about $30 billion of deposits, and the talk in the market is that at least three of the top four local banks will take a look at the business - National Australia Bank Limited (ASX:NAB), Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX:WBC) and ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX:ANZ). Much of its value would depend on the quality of its funding, but market experts believe a sale would be in the billions of dollars. Some say Westpac could be the most likely to bid for the business, while Australian listed financial services operator AMP, which is tipped to be weighing up future options for its bank, may also make an offer.

National Australia Bank Reportedly Considers A Return to Scottish Pacific DataRoom understands that one of Australia's top four lenders, National Australia Bank Limited (ASX:NAB), has been carrying out an -assessment of the business, weighing up whether to make an acquisition. The understanding is that NAB has decided against the move for now, but what it does suggest is that the bank has- -mergers and acquisitions on the agenda. NAB has also been connected to HSBC and a potential purchase of its retail banking operations in Australia, with suggestions that the UK-based group is staging a retreat from this market, after it purchased Citi's Australia retail bank in 2022.

And while a sale process is yet to get officially under way, it's already believed to have presented the opportunity to some buyers.
