ANZ Funds took over Town and Country.
The Acquisition of Town and Country
Town and Country was acquired by ANZ Funds on July 30, 1990. This strategic move resulted in ANZ Funds becoming the beneficial owner of the entire issued share capital of Town & Country. From that date forward, Town & Country has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of ANZ Funds, integrating fully into its corporate structure.
This type of acquisition is a common practice in the financial services industry, allowing larger entities like the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ), of which ANZ Funds is a part, to consolidate their market position, expand their service offerings, or streamline operations by incorporating other financial institutions. The acquisition of Town & Country bolstered ANZ Funds' portfolio and operational scope.
Key details of this significant corporate event include:

The integration of Town & Country into ANZ Funds reflects a broader trend of consolidation within the banking and financial sectors, aiming to create more robust and diversified financial groups. For more information on the parent entity, visit the ANZ Group.
