SYDNEY, Feb 1 Asia Pulse - Macquarie Bank Ltd (ASX:MBL) chief executive Allan Moss said there were a number of sets of assets that the investment bank expected to float in new funds between March and June this year.
However Macquarie's financial year ends on March 31, meaning that some of the transactions may miss out on inclusion in the 2005/06 results.
"There are really a number of sets of assets where realisations are likely to take place somewhere between March and June," Mr Moss told an analysts' briefing.
"Commercially, we're not going to accelerate those transactions to achieve an accounting outcome."
He said the transactions were large enough to have a significant impact on the bank's results.
"Even though we are large and diversified, some of these transactions are of such a size that whether they take place in March or April or May will make a noticeable difference to the results from this year," he said.
Mr Moss also noted that soundings with investors on the transactions had received "a very positive" response so far.
He described the market's appetite for new funds as "satisfactory" at the moment.
