BMO to Acquire Capital Markets Business of Euroz Hartleys Group
The deal will add about 40 team members and expand BMO’s metals and mining platform across North America, Europe and Australia.
On Tuesday, BMO Financial Group announced it will acquire the Australia-based capital markets business of Euroz Hartleys Group Limited, combining BMO's global metals and mining franchise with Euroz Hartleys' premier Australian equity distribution platform.
Perth-Based Euroz Hartleys specializes in equity capital markets and advisory services, leveraging Australia's position as a key global centre for metals and mining capital formation comparable to Canada.
Approximately 40 Euroz Hartleys team members are expected to join BMO Capital Markets at closing, while the firm's private wealth unit remains independent and will enter a strategic alliance with BMO to support research access and distribution.
Closing is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, with BMO Capital Markets acting as exclusive financial advisor and Grant Samuel advising Euroz Hartleys.
Combining global distribution with local expertise, the integrated platform will enhance connectivity for Australian clients accessing international capital and positions BMO as a leading investment bank for the metals and mining sector.
