Remember as well ANZ wealth was bought on 25x earnings for $975m.
This is a massive multiple. It was roughly half financed by a capital raising and half financed by debt.
It only makes sense if the costs savings of $65m come true.
If the $65m of integration synergies do not come to fruition, then IOOF will have seriously over paid for the deal and in the future could be at risk of goodwill/intangible write down on its assets.
