RE: macquarie down to 6.3%15 Feb 2019 05:39
Macquarie were in an awkward position. I am sure they thought, as with the rest of us that not taking part in the tender, would see a price rise commensurate with the market cap staying the same. They then could sell. What has effectively happened, is that they have been forced to sell upwards of a '20% loss'...which I doubt was what they anticipated, and thus crystalised the 'losses'. The paradox being that they had to sell, which kept the lid on the price, and if they hadn't they wouldn't have lost money. Quite why they didn't participate in the tender I have no idea. I am sure they were still nicely up, and will be anyway at some point. I looked through their funds last night, but only top 5 holdings are shown.
