Good evening,

Reporting season is set to get under way in earnest this week with Magellan Financial, Newcrest Mining and Transurban among heavyweights scheduled to hand down numbers.

While investor focus is on the long-term impact of COVID-19 on market structure and stocks exposed to China's growth rebound, a second wave of capital raisings is also expected to dominate headlines.

Tonight we reveal which $7.2 billion gaming company has started preparing to raise fresh funds alongside its 2020 financial year results, and the investment bank in pole position to underwrite any deal.

We also report on which sovereign wealth fund Charter Hall boss David Harrison has snared to finance his $1 billion investment in a clutch of Ampol-owned petrol stations, and the latest private equity-backed business to be placed on the sale block.

Happy reading,
Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
