Good evening,

Greensill Capital’s quick-fire implosion is the biggest story in global capital markets at the moment.

And it’s easy to see why – the meteoric rise and in-progress collapse of Greensill’s supply chain finance empire has got it all. A founder born on Australia’s largest sweet potato farm, Japanese giant SoftBank, UK billionaire Sanjeev Gupta, buyout giant Apollo Global Management – you name it, it’s there.

And tonight, Street Talk is getting in on the Greensill action.

We’ve got the inside word on which two Australian regulators have approached Credit Suisse’s local management team with some Greensill-related queries, and unveil what their lines of questioning were.

Elsewhere, Bank of America’s local investment banking team has snared a mandate in Westpac’s life insurance business auction, and Pemba Capital has made its 22nd tech deal in only five years.

Happy reading,

Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
