Wealth and Capital Markets: Both divisions saw significant growth; Wealth Management revenue rose 30% and Capital Markets revenue climbed 43%, driven by strong activity in mining and new issues.
Australian Business: Australia was a standout, contributing about half of investment banking revenue, fueled by record gold prices and the Wilsons Advisory acquisition.

Strategic Moves: Completed the sale of the U.S. market making business and acquired CRC-IB and Wilsons Advisory to strengthen core sectors and sustainability advisory.
