Singapore-based investment firm Temasek Holdings (TEM.UL) will invest up to A$300 million ($198.4 million) in Australian exchange-traded fund manager Betashares, the company said on Monday.
The funding is expected to drive the expansion of Betashares’ offerings in Australia and overseas, it said in a statement.
With the investment, Temasek will hold an undisclosed minority stake in Betashares, joining its staff members and private equity firm TA Associates as shareholders, it added.
The Australian ETF industry’s market capitalisation reached A$177.5 billion in 2023, boosted by net inflows of A$15 billion, according to the latest data compiled by Betashares.
