Bain Capital came out swinging on Sunday. The private equity giant's local PE head, Mike Murphy, issued a rare public statement, outlining why Bain should be Virgin Australia's new owner.

Tonight, we reveal that statement wasn't all that was occupying Bain's time over the weekend, with the firm also getting ready to tap a big money investment bank to help prepare and fund its Virgin tilt.

Elsewhere, we've got the scoop on a big shake-up in the top ranks of $228.5 billion money manager First Sentier Investors.

Finally, we take a look at which New Zealand business is hoping to mirror the success of market darling Polynovo - which has a market cap in excess of $1.7 billion - and is ready to kick-start the local IPO market with a $300 million listing.

Happy reading,
