After recent push in US it would be piss weak not able to finalize this MDT "hick up":
"Macquarie buys investment bank FPK for $150m ERIC JOHNSTON October 1, 2009
Macqaurie Group has continued its push into Wall Street, with the planned acquisition of boutique investment bank Fox-Pitt Kelton Cochran Caronia Waller.
The US$130 million ($A149.2 million) deal, detailed overnight, will give Macquarie an investment bank specialises in financial services as well as stockbroking operations across North American and into Europe.
The move follows a string of acquisitions by Macquarie across North America as it takes a back-to-basics approach to investment banking by bolstering its exposure to energy trading, funds management and advisory.
In August Macquarie launched an aggressive push into the US funds management industry through the acquisition of Philadelphia-based funds giant Delaware Investments for $516 million, marking one of its biggest corporate acquisitions in the past decade."
