Letter from the Chairman
Our performance
has been resilient,
and our operating
and support
groups have
remained busy
supporting our
clients, partners
and communities,
as well as our
own team.”
Letter from the
Chairman
When we last wrote to shareholders, the
world was in the early months of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the profound effects
of which continued to be felt throughout
Macquarie’s 2021 financial year (FY2021).
Macquarie has also experienced the economic impacts of
the pandemic but overall, our performance has been resilient
and our operating and support groups have remained busy
supporting our clients, partners and communities, as well
as our own team. Shemara provides more detail about
Macquarie’s performance in her letter to shareholders and
we outline some of our initiatives in this Annual Report.
Significant progress has since been made in managing the
public health crisis while the speed with which vaccines have
been developed is testament to the remarkable contributions
made by medical science. However, we recognise that some
countries are in a stronger position today than others and
consequently, we anticipate the overall public health and
economic effects of the pandemic will continue to be felt
for some time.
On behalf of the Board, I commend staff for their resilience
and continued focus; at the peak of global lockdowns more
than 98% of staff were working remotely. In accordance
with local public health orders, many staff have now
returned to the office, but have done so in the context of
more widespread adoption of hybrid working. This model of
working is supported by the Board and Management, with
significant investment in technology to ensure that staff
are able to perform their duties to high standards, meet
regulatory obligations and remain connected with their
colleagues and clients.
10
Professional conduct
One of the core responsibilities of the Board and Management
is ensuring the highest standards of professional conduct
across all our operations, a commitment that has been in
place since Macquarie’s inception some 52 years ago.
During FY2021, and after extensive consultation with staff
in all of our markets around the world, we re-articulated
Macquarie’s purpose as, ‘empowering people to innovate
and invest for a better future’. This statement of purpose
articulates why Macquarie exists and what we do. It supports
our longstanding operating principles of Opportunity,
Accountability and Integrity, which express how we do
business. Our purpose and principles are embedded
in Macquarie’s Code of Conduct, which sets out the
expectations of Management and staff in managing their
responsibilities and conducting themselves.
The standards expected of Board, Management and staff are
high, and there are consequences for anyone at Macquarie
who fails to meet those standards. We actively enhance our
risk culture and Conduct Risk Management Framework in
response to changes in our business operations, outcomes
of our oversight activities and the expectations of regulators
and communities. The Board and Management also regularly
review and enhance our reporting, training, monitoring and
surveillance activity, and there is an established Conduct Risk
Management Framework in place.
Everyone at Macquarie is accountable for their conduct,
and supervisors are accountable for outcomes in businesses
they supervise with independent oversight by the Risk
Management Group.
Environmental, social and governance
Sound environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices
remain an area of focus for the Board and Management.
Macquarie continued business activities that support
the transition to a lower-carbon economy, and we have
continued to embed ESG risk management across the
organisation. The ESG section of this Annual Report and the
Macquarie website provide further details on our approach.
During FY2021, the Board and Management considered
Macquarie’s position on a net zero carbon emissions
commitment. Macquarie has been carbon neutral in its
operations since 2010 and during FY2021, Macquarie Asset
Management made the commitment to manage its portfolio
in line with global net zero emissions by 2040. After carefully
reviewing the substantial activity across Macquarie’s
business and operations, Macquarie Group has confirmed
its commitment to reaching net zero operational emissions
by 2025 and aligning financing activity with the global goal of
net zero emissions by 2050. We provide more information on
these commitments in this Annual Report.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Board changes
During FY2021, we welcomed Rebecca McGrath and Mike
Roche to the Board. Rebecca and Mike bring considerable
energy sector and corporate finance expertise respectively
and they are already making a valued contribution.
Shareholders will be asked to formally elect Rebecca and
Mike at the 2021 Annual General Meeting.
These appointments follow the retirement of Michael Hawker
and Gary Banks AO in FY2021. Gordon Cairns, who had
previously advised of his intention to retire, steps down on
7 May 2021. Michael, Gary and Gordon have been outstanding
colleagues over many years and on behalf of the Board,
I thank them for their service to shareholders and wish
them well for the future.
Ensuring that the Board is an effective shareholder
steward for a business as diverse as Macquarie requires
balancing experience and longevity with fresh perspectives,
underpinned by diversity of expertise. I can say with
absolute confidence that shareholders are well served by
the Board, which is hard-working and diligent in fulfilling its
responsibilities.
With the business continuing to navigate the recovery
from a period of global uncertainty, and with a process of
Board renewal underway, my colleagues have asked me to
consider extending my tenure as Chair until Macquarie’s 2022
AGM. Subject to shareholders extending my tenure by one
additional year at the 2021 AGM, I have agreed to this request.
Over the course of FY2022, the Board will undertake
a process of nominating a new Chair and will advise
shareholders in due course. My time on the Macquarie Board
has been a professional highlight. It has been a privilege to
represent shareholders and to work with such an exceptional
team across the Board, Management and staff. I’m proud of
all that Macquarie has achieved and would be delighted to
provide an extended period of continuity while more recently
appointed colleagues become more familiar with Macquarie.
Dividends
The Board resolved to pay a final ordinary dividend of
$A3.35 per share (40% franked). This results in a total
ordinary dividend for the year ended 31 March 2021 of
$A4.70 per share, up from $A4.30 in the prior year.
On behalf of the Board, we would like to thank Macquarie’s
staff for their efforts, and our clients and shareholders for
their ongoing support.

Letter from the Managing Director
and CEO
Macquarie’s
performance
reflects our
involvement in areas
of deep structural
need in the global
economy and the
commitment of our
staff to work with
clients to address
opportunities and
challenges in our
communities.”
Letter from the
Managing Director
and CEO
Despite the many unexpected challenges
of the last year, Macquarie staff remained
focused on delivering for our clients,
partners, shareholders, and the communities
in which we operate. The team adapted to
the changed operating environment, with
most working remotely for a period and
some now returned to spending time in
our offices, without interruption to their
activities or to client service.
Macquarie’s performance reflects our involvement in areas
of deep structural need in the global economy and the
commitment of our staff to work with clients to address
opportunities and challenges in our communities. The
following pages of this report include examples of projects
aligned to our purpose of empowering people to innovate
and invest for a better future.
Our annuity-style activities, Macquarie Asset Management
(MAM), Banking and Financial Services (BFS) and parts
of Commodities and Global Markets (CGM), had a steady
year, with a combined net profit contribution of
$A3,314 million, down 4% on the prior year.
Annuity-style activities represented 54% of net profit
contribution from operating groups.
Macquarie’s businesses continued to perform well despite
challenging market conditions, reflecting the diversity of our
activities and ongoing focus on prudent risk management.
For the year ended 31 March 2021, Macquarie delivered a
record profit of $A3,015 million, up 10% on the prior year.
Lower performance fees and Macquarie AirFinance income in
MAM were partially offset by gains on the sale of Macquarie
European Rail and the reversal of impairments. In BFS,
growth in deposits, the loan portfolio and funds on platform
as well as decreased credit impairment charges were partially
12
offset by margin compression on deposits and a decrease in
the vehicle finance portfolio. CGM’s annuity-style activities
reflected higher revenue from the Specialised and Asset
Finance division but lower revenues and an increase in
provisions in Commodities Lending and Financing.
Our markets-facing activities in Macquarie Capital and
the remainder of CGM made a net profit contribution of
$A2,783 million, up 39% on the prior year. Markets-facing
activities represented 46% of net profit contribution from
operating groups.
Lower fee and commission income in Macquarie Capital
was partially offset by significantly higher equity capital
markets activity in ANZ. Lower investment-related income
due to fewer material asset realisations was partially offset
by improved performance of the assets in the portfolio. The
markets-facing activities within CGM generated increased
revenues across the commodities platform with strong
results in resources, gas and power, agriculture, and precious
metals, as well as foreign exchange, interest rates and credit
and equity derivatives and trading.
While our Australian franchise maintained its strong
position and benefited from the relatively rapid recovery of
the Australian economy, Macquarie’s offshore businesses
continued to perform well, with international income
accounting for 68% of total income for the year ended
31 March 2021. Total international income was $A8,468 million,
an increase of 5% from $A8,061 million in the prior year.
Macquarie is highly disciplined in maintaining sufficient
surplus capital to meet regulatory requirements and support
business growth opportunities. Macquarie’s APRA Basel III
capital was $A26.3 billion at 31 March 2021 and the surplus
above regulatory minimum requirements was $A8.8 billion.
In light of actions recently announced by APRA regarding
MBL’s risk management practices and ability to calculate and
report key prudential ratios, we acknowledge that continued
work is required on our risk governance and operating
platform and we have programs in place to strengthen
capital and liquidity reporting and the risk management
framework. We will work closely with APRA on these
programs through a period of intensified supervision. APRA
noted that the breaches are historical and do not impact the
current overall soundness of Macquarie Group’s capital and
liquidity positions.
Management update
During FY2021, Macquarie announced a small number of
senior management changes. After 16 years with Macquarie,
Martin Stanley stepped down as Group Head of MAM and
from the Executive Committee, effective 1 April 2021. From
that date, Macquarie’s Asia CEO Ben Way, who has been with
Macquarie for 14 years, became Group Head of MAM and
joined the Executive Committee.
From 1 July 2021, Mr Way, who will remain in Hong Kong, will
be succeeded as Asia CEO by Verena Lim, Senior Managing
Director in MAM in Singapore. Ms Lim will join Macquarie’s
Management Committee, as will Leigh Harrison, the
London-based global head of MAM’s infrastructure and
real assets business.
After 22 years with Macquarie, Mary Reemst decided to
retire from her role as Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer of MBL, from the MBL Board, and from the MGL
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
and MBL Executive Committees, effective 1 July 2021. From
that date, and subject to regulatory approvals, Mary’s
successor will be Stuart Green, who has been with Macquarie
for 20 years in a range of roles including Head of Investor
Relations and most recently Group Treasurer. Mary Reemst
will continue in her role as Chair of the Macquarie Group
Foundation for the remainder of 2021, working on transition
alongside Macquarie’s CFO, Alex Harvey, who will succeed
her in 2022.
Following the successful integration of the Principal Finance
business into Macquarie Capital, Florian Herold has decided
to step down from the Executive Committee, effective 7
May 2021. The decision coincides with Mr Herold returning
to London, where he continues to lead the global Principal
Finance team and is focused on consolidating the recent
momentum in its investing activity. Macquarie Capital will
continue to be represented on the Executive Committee by
co-heads Michael Silverton and Daniel Wong.
In the community
FY2021 was another significant year for the Macquarie Group
Foundation. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Macquarie
Group allocated an additional $A20 million to the Foundation
to contribute to organisations working to combat the
pandemic and provide relief from its impacts, conduct
research and stimulate economic recovery. To date, the
Foundation has allocated $A17.7 million to 36 organisations.
In early FY2022, $A1 million was committed to support
COVID-19 relief in India.
During the year, the Foundation continued to work with the
five winners of Macquarie’s 50th Anniversary Award, all of
which progressed their health, environmental and social
inclusion projects despite the challenges of COVID-19.
Inclusive of the COVID-19 allocation, funding to 50th
Anniversary Award recipients, grant-making, and matching
donations and fundraising efforts of our staff, together
the Foundation and staff contributed $A64 million to
more than 2,400 community organisations around the
world, representing a record year. Since inception, total
contributions stand at over $A475 million.
Outlook
We have provided the market with an outline of the factors
impacting the short-term outlook for FY2022 for each of
our operating groups. We maintain a cautious stance, with a
conservative approach to capital, funding and liquidity that
positions us well to respond to the current environment.
On behalf of Senior Management, we would like to thank
Macquarie’s staff for their efforts, and our clients and
shareholders for their ongoing support.

Empowering people to innovate
and invest for a better future
Empowering people
to innovate and invest
for a better future
Communities around
the world have shown
remarkable resilience
through a year in which
the COVID‑19 pandemic
had an impact on every
aspect of life. While the
health and economic
challenges presented by
the pandemic remain
profound, there have
been many examples
of ingenuity and adaptability
as businesses pivoted,
governments collaborated,
and communities
rallied together.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Throughout this period, Macquarie remained focused on
empowering people to innovate and invest for a better
future. Our teams provided essential short-term support to
clients, communities and each other, while driving forward
activity to address some of the longer-term challenges
facing countries around the world.

Helping clients navigate change
and realise opportunity
As part of the banking industry in
Australia, we quickly moved to offer
lending relief and enhanced support
for our personal bank customers and
small business clients. At its peak,
approximately 13% of customers
and clients accessed support but
most of our clients are now in a
position where they no longer need
enhanced assistance.
Across our corporate and institutional
clients, we worked closely with those in
the most challenged sectors on their
long-term resilience and response to
disruption, and by helping them raise
essential finance and capital. For some,
the pandemic has ultimately led to
growth opportunities, either through
the acceleration of disruption already
taking place or the creation of new lines
of business.
Our ability to respond rapidly through
a period of acute disruption is reflective
of our long history of partnering with
our clients to address challenges and
pursue growth.
Developing new social
infrastructure
Macquarie advises, sponsors and
invests in social infrastructure, assisting
public and private entities to deliver
essential services including hospitals,
schools, housing and justice facilities.
Social infrastructure provides access
to quality, affordable social services
and offers investors long-term,
impactful opportunities in regulated
non-profit sectors.
Over the last financial year, Macquarie
teams continued to build expertise
across both debt and equity
investment, advancing projects that
included affordable housing, free
renewable energy for social housing
tenants, new community medical
facilities and specialist disability
accommodation. Macquarie teams
also invested in digital platforms that
improved access to essential services
such as education and healthcare
during the pandemic.
15
...we expect to
increase investment
in important emerging
transition opportunities
including zero emissions
transport, hydrogen,
carbon sequestration,
nature-based solutions,
and climate resilient
infrastructure.
16
Strengthening the resilience
of essential infrastructure
As the world’s largest infrastructure
manager with assets serving over
100 million people daily, we recognise
that each portfolio company faces
specific resilience risks. As stewards
of these companies, on behalf of our
investors and the communities they
serve, we work to ensure that they are
long-lasting and resilient.
In relation to climate risks, we are
adapting assets to improve their
resilience to temperature extremes,
changing weather patterns and to
increased incidence of fires and floods.
In our agriculture business, we have
adopted precision farming technology
to produce higher yields, cut emissions
and reduce environmental damage.
Where Macquarie Capital is building
new infrastructure, we are designing-in
climate resilience from the outset.
One trend over the past year has been
the acceleration of digitalisation. The
move to large-scale remote working
and learning, and greater reliance
on e-commerce, has exponentially
increased demand for faster, more
reliable and more secure digital
infrastructure. Capacity upgrades to
our digital infrastructure assets have
left them able to handle significant and
structural activity increases.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Delivering solutions to
reduce emissions
We are building on our leading position
as a global developer, investor,
financer, and manager of renewable
energy projects. In addition to
established technologies like wind
and solar, we expect to increase
investment in important emerging
transition opportunities including
zero emissions transport, hydrogen,
carbon sequestration and offsetting,
nature-based solutions, and climate
resilient infrastructure.
As countries make the transition to
net zero, we recognise that much of
the world will depend on oil and gas
to power economies and that until
new, commercially viable technologies
become available, these fuels will have
a continued role in the provision of
essential energy. We will continue to
support clients in these sectors, and
we are engaging with them to design
both finance and technology solutions
that will help them deliver a managed
transition to decarbonise and reduce the
emissions intensity of their activities.
Beyond the energy transition,
Macquarie teams are investing to
reduce emissions through zero
emissions transport, industrial
processes, buildings and agriculture.
Extending our global
commitment to address
climate change
Decarbonisation and climate resilience
have been placed at the centre of
countries’ economic recovery plans.
Some have committed to net zero
carbon emissions by 2050. This
requires public and private sectors to
work together. Macquarie supports this
and is well-placed to participate in the
opportunities that arise.
Grounded in our longstanding
expertise in infrastructure and
energy, we have carefully assessed
how Macquarie might make a more
meaningful contribution to achieving a
decarbonised world. We are committed
to reaching net zero operational
emissions by 2025 and aligning our
financing activity with the global goal of
net zero emissions by 2050. We provide
more detail on these commitments in
the ESG section of this annual report.
In our asset management business,
we have started work with portfolio
companies to consistently measure
greenhouse gas emissions and identify
emission reduction opportunities.
Where we have sufficient influence,
we are working with these businesses
to develop plans that will put them on
a pathway to reduce emissions in line
with a net zero economy by 2040.
Organisation: Humana People to People India
Addressing areas of unmet
need through philanthropy
Over many decades, the majority of the
Macquarie Group Foundation’s activities
have been driven by our staff, who are
best placed to identify areas of unmet
need in their local communities and
motivated to support the causes they
feel most passionate about. In addition
to financial support, staff devote
their time and expertise to partnering
with community organisations. The
Foundation amplifies the endeavours
of our staff through matched financial
support and grantmaking and
partnering with non-profits to build
capacity and capability.
Recognising in the earliest days
of the pandemic the imperative
to step up philanthropic support
across a range of areas of need, an
additional $A20 million was allocated
to the Macquarie Group Foundation
specifically to combat COVID-19. To
date, $A17.7 million in funding has been
allocated to organisations around the
world, balancing the need for urgent
direct relief with longer-term research
and investment, and supporting
existing community partners that had
to quickly respond to change and the
increased demand on their services.
In early FY2022, $A1 million was
committed to support COVID-19
relief in India.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
For internal reporting and risk management purposes, Macquarie is divided into four
Operating Groups, which are supported by four Central Service Groups. The Operating
Groups are split between annuity-style businesses and markets-facing businesses.
Operating Groups update
Cash Equities was transferred from Commodities and Global
Markets to Macquarie Capital on 1 June 2020. Comparatives
have been reclassified to reflect this reorganisation.
Central Service Groups
The Central Service Groups provide a range of functions
supporting Macquarie’s Operating Groups, ensuring they
have the appropriate workplace support and systems to
operate effectively and the necessary resources to meet
their regulatory, compliance, financial reporting, legal and
risk management requirements.
Risk Management Group (RMG)
An independent and centralised function responsible
for objective review and challenge, oversight, monitoring
and reporting in relation to Macquarie’s material risks.
RMG designs and oversees the implementation
of the risk management framework. The Head of
Internal Audit reports functionally to the Board Audit
Committee and operationally to the Head of RMG for
day-to-day management.
Legal and Governance (LGL)
Provides a full range of legal and corporate governance
services, including strategic legal and governance advice
and risk assessment on corporate transactions, treasury
and funding, insurance, regulatory enquiries and litigation.
Financial Management Group (FMG)
Provides financial, tax, treasury, corporate affairs and
advisory services to all areas of Macquarie.
Corporate Operations Group (COG)
Provides specialist support services through technology,

MAM is a leading specialist global asset manager, offering a
diverse range of products through two business divisions:
BFS serves the Australian market, and is organised into the
following three business divisions:
Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA):
a leader in alternative asset management worldwide,
specialising in infrastructure and renewables, agriculture,
real estate, transportation finance and private credit via
public and private funds, co-investments, partnerships and
separately managed accounts.
Macquarie Investment Management (MIM): offering
securities investment management capabilities across a
number of asset classes including equities, fixed income
and multi-asset solutions.
FY2021 highlights
MAM AUM decreased 6% to $A562.2 billion as at
31 March 2021, due to impacts from foreign exchange and a
reduction in contractual insurance assets. This was partially
offset by MIM market movements and investments by
MIRA-managed funds.
During the period, MIRA raised $A21.8 billion in new equity,
for a diverse range of funds, products and solutions across
the platform. In April 2020, MIRA closed the sale of the
Macquarie European Rail business.
MIM entered into an agreement to acquire Waddell & Reed
Financial, Inc., and also made strategic divestitures of MIM
Korea and its minority stake in Jackson Square Partners.
Medium‑term
MAM is a leading specialist global asset manager,
well-positioned to respond to current market conditions
and grow assets under management through its
diversified product offering, track record and experienced
investment teams.
Personal Banking: provides a diverse range of retail banking
products to clients with home loans, credit cards, transaction
and savings accounts and vehicle finance.
Wealth Management: provides clients with a wide range of
wrap platform and cash management services, investment
and superannuation products, financial advice, private banking
and stockbroking.
Business Banking: provides a full range of deposit, lending and
payment solutions, vehicle finance as well as tailored services
to business clients, ranging from sole practitioners to corporate
professional firms.
FY2021 highlights
For the full-year ended 31 March 2021, total BFS deposits
increased 26% to $A80.7 billion, the loan and lease portfolio
increased 18% to $A89.1 billion and funds on platform increased
28% to $A101.4 billion.
The home loan portfolio increased 29% to $A67.0 billion
driven by strong demand in lower loan-to-value ratio and
owner-occupier lending tiers, while the Business Banking loan
portfolio increased 13% to $A10.2 billion and Business Banking
deposit volumes increased 23%. During the year, BFS expanded
the Macquarie Wrap managed accounts offering with funds
under administration of $A5.4 billion, up from $A3.0 billion
in March 2020. BFS continued the implementation of a
cloud-based portfolio management platform as part of the
wealth platform transformation.
Medium‑term
BFS focused on growth opportunities through intermediary
and direct retail client distribution, platforms and client service;
opportunities to increase financial services engagement with
existing business banking clients and extend into adjacent
segments; and modernising technology to improve client
experience and support growth.

CGM provides clients with an integrated, end-to-end offering
across global markets including equities, fixed income, foreign
exchange, commodities and technology, media and telecoms.
The platform covers over 30 market segments with more than
200 products and has evolved over more than four decades
to provide clients with access to markets, financing, financial
hedging, physical execution, and research and market analysis.
CGM comprises seven divisions: Commodity Markets and
Finance, Credit Markets, Equity Derivatives and Trading, Fixed
Income and Currencies, Futures, Specialised and Asset Finance
and Central (CGM-wide services).
Macquarie Capital has global capability in advisory and
capital raising services, investing alongside partners and
clients across the capital structure, providing clients with
specialist expertise, advice and flexible capital solutions
across a range of sectors.
It also has global capability in development and investment
in infrastructure and energy projects and companies and, in
relation to renewable energy projects, the supply of green
energy solutions to corporate clients.
Macquarie Capital’s Equities brokerage business provides
clients with access to equity research, sales, execution
capabilities and corporate access.
FY2021 highlights
CGM’s net profit contribution was strong across the platform,
up 50% on the prior year. The result was reflective of increased
contribution from Resources, North American Gas and Power,
EMEA Gas and Power and Agriculture due to client hedging
activity driven by increased volatility and commodity price
movements. The FY2021 result saw increased opportunities in
inventory management and trading, primarily driven by market
dislocations and increased volatility in North American Gas and
Power, Oil and Precious Metals in addition to gains associated
with the timing of income recognition on Oil and Gas storage
contracts and transport agreements. The result also reflected
improved client and trading activity in foreign exchange, interest
rate and credit products; as well as increased net operating
lease income driven by higher secondary income from the
asset financing portfolio. The result was partially offset by
reduced fee and commission income due to decreased demand
for commodity risk premia products and a reduction in client
brokerage activity.
CGM continues to be recognised across the industries it
operates in, with a number of awards earned during the period
including Environmental Products Bank of the Year, Oil and
Products House of the Year and Derivatives House of the Year
in the 2020 Energy Risk Awards. CGM also maintained its ranking
by Platts as No. 2 physical gas marketer in North America.
Medium‑term
CGM remains focused on: opportunities to grow the
commodities business, both organically and through acquisition;
the development of institutional and corporate coverage
for specialised credit, rates and foreign exchange products;
providing tailored financing solutions globally across a variety of
industries and asset classes; continued investment in the asset
finance portfolio and growing the client base across all regions.
FY2021 highlights
Macquarie Capital was ranked No.1 Global Renewables
Financial Adviser in 2020 and No.1 in ANZ for both M&A
and IPOs for the past decade.
Macquarie Capital acted as exclusive financial adviser
to Strata Fund Solutions on its sale to Alter Domus
and Joint Bookrunner on the acquisition financing.
Principal Finance co-invested with FTV Capital in Strata
and subsequently realised its position in a successful
sale process.
Macquarie Capital continued to focus on green
energy with over 250 projects under development or
construction as at 31 March 2021. Green Investment
Group launched a new solar energy company, Cero
Generation, to take forward an 8 GW portfolio of over
150 projects across Europe as an OSS. In Australia,
Macquarie Capital acted as the sole financial adviser
to Snowy Hydro Limited on the over $A5 billion
Snowy 2.0 expansion and associated raising of
$A3.5 billion of corporate senior debt facilities.
Medium‑term
Macquarie Capital is positioned to benefit from further
recovery in transaction activity. It continues to tailor
the business offering to current opportunities and
market conditions including providing flexible capital
solutions across sectors and regions. It also continues
to pursue opportunities for project development and
balance sheet investment by the group and in support of
partners and clients subject to market conditions.

Operating and Financial Review
Our strategy
Our business strategy
Consistent with the principles of What We Stand For, Macquarie’s
business strategy is focused on the medium‑term with the following
key aspects:
Risk management approach
Adopting a conservative approach to risk management underpinned by a sound
risk culture. Macquarie’s robust risk management framework and risk culture are
embedded across all Operating and Central Service Groups.
Strong balance sheet
Maintaining a strong and conservative balance sheet.
This is consistent with Macquarie’s longstanding policy of holding a level of capital
that supports its business and managing its capital base ahead of ordinary business
requirements. Macquarie remains well funded, with diversified funding sources,
including deposits.
We continue to pursue the strategy of diversifying funding sources by growing our
deposit base and accessing different funding markets.
Business mix
Conducting a mix of annuity-style and markets-facing businesses that deliver solid
returns in a range of market conditions.
Macquarie has progressively developed its annuity-style businesses, providing steady
returns to the business and our shareholders, and stability to clients.
Diversification
Operating a diversified set of businesses across different locations and service
offerings: asset management and finance, banking, advisory and risk and capital
solutions across debt, equity and commodities.
Macquarie offers a range of services to government, institutional, corporate and retail
clients. This diversity in services and clients mitigates concentration risk and provides
resilience to Macquarie.
Proven expertise
Utilising proven deep expertise has allowed Macquarie to establish leading market
positions as a global specialist in sectors including renewables, infrastructure,
resources and commodities, energy, financial institutions and real estate.
Adjacencies
Expanding progressively by pursuing adjacencies through organic opportunities and
selective acquisitions.
These include products and geographies adjacent to our established areas of
expertise, supporting sustainable evolutionary growth.
Pursuit of growth opportunities
Targeting continued evolution and growth through innovation. We start with
knowledge and skill, and we encourage ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit coupled
with accountability.
Ideas for new businesses are typically generated in the Operating Groups. Additionally,
there are no specific businesses, markets or regions in which our strategy dictates
that we operate. This means we retain operational flexibility and can adapt the
portfolio mix to changing market conditions within the boundaries of the Risk
Appetite Statement (RAS) approved by the Board.
Our
purpose
Empowering
people to innovate
and invest for a
better future.
What we stand for
Opportunity
Accountability
Integrity
The way we fulfil our purpose is defined
by these three long-held principles that
determine how we conduct business
and guide what we do every day. Our
purpose and principles and what we
expect of our staff are set out in our
Code of Conduct.
The balance between opportunity
and accountability, while operating
with integrity within a strong risk
management framework, is a
feature of Macquarie’s success and
a key factor in our long record of
unbroken profitability.
The Code of Conduct is available at
macquarie.com/what‑we‑stand‑for

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Risk management
Macroeconomic factors
Macquarie recognises that a sound risk culture is
a fundamental requirement of an effective risk
management framework.
The key macroeconomic risks to Macquarie’s
short and medium term financial outlook noted
on page 32 are:
Risk culture
Market conditions
Macquarie’s risk culture is well established, grounded in the
long-held principles of What We Stand For: Opportunity,
Accountability and Integrity.
Macquarie’s approach to maintaining an appropriate risk
culture is based on the following three components:
• setting behavioural expectations: Senior Management,
with oversight from the Board, set behavioural
expectations. The way we fulfil Macquarie’s purpose
is defined by our principles of What We Stand For:
Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity. Staff are made
aware that these principles must form the basis of all
behaviours and actions. These behavioural expectations
are specified in the Board approved Code of Conduct,
which is actively promoted by Management and
cascaded through the organisation
• leading and executing: Management implements
behavioural expectations through leadership actions and
communication, organisational governance, incentives
and consequence management and organisational and
individual capability
• monitoring, measuring and reporting: Macquarie
monitors and measures its risk culture to gauge
effectiveness while promoting continuous improvement.
Risk management framework
Macquarie’s risk management framework is embedded
across all operations. The framework is the totality of
systems, structures, policies, processes and people
within Macquarie that identify, measure, monitor, report
and control or mitigate internal or external sources of
material risk.
Macquarie’s approach to risk management is based
on stable and robust core risk management principles.
These are:
• ownership of risk at the business level
• understanding worst‑case outcomes
• requirement for an independent sign‑off by RMG.
The general condition of markets, driven by both
macroeconomic and geopolitical factors may have a bearing
on Macquarie’s businesses. Changing market conditions
influence the volume and timing of client and principal
transactions across businesses and the value of various equity,
credit and market risk exposures held by Macquarie on its
balance sheet.
The value of the Australian dollar
A significant proportion of Macquarie’s net income is
denominated in foreign currency. Therefore, net income will
be lower in Australian dollar terms if the Australian dollar
appreciates against other foreign currencies, and net income
will be higher in Australia dollar terms if the Australian dollar
depreciates against other foreign currencies.
Potential regulatory changes
Macquarie is affected by changes in regulation. Regulatory
change continues to increase at both the global and Australian
levels and has the potential to affect the regulatory capital
and funding requirements and profitability of Macquarie’s
businesses.
Funding and liquidity
Macquarie uses deposits and debt markets, among other
funding sources, to fund its assets. Macquarie is therefore
exposed to the risk of an increase in the cost of funding, or of
reduced access to funding sources.
In addition, there are specific material risks that relate to the
nature of Macquarie’s operations. These include aggregate,
asset, conduct, credit, environmental and social (including
climate change), equity, financial crime, legal, liquidity, market,
operational (including cyber and information security), regulatory
and compliance, reputational, strategic, tax, and work health
and safety risks. These risks, including those mentioned above,
are monitored, mitigated and managed under Macquarie’s risk
management framework.
Refer to Risk Management in section 2 for details
on Macquarie’s risk management framework, risk
culture and conduct risk management
Further details on the management of these risks
are available at macquarie.com/risk‑management

• Decreased net operating lease income driven by the sale of
the Macquarie AirFinance business to a joint venture in the
prior year and the sale of Macquarie European Rail in the
current year.
• Decreased share of net profits from associates and joint
ventures predominantly due to an equity accounted
loss from Macquarie AirFinance as well as lower net
profits from the sale of underlying assets within equity
accounted investments.
• Decreased performance fees following a strong prior year.
• Decreased other fee and commission income, largely due
to lower income from private capital markets, True Index
products and transaction fees.
Partially offset by:
• increased net income on equity and debt investments driven
by the sale of Macquarie European Rail and decreased credit
and other impairment charges, driven by a partial reversal of
the impairment previously recognised on MIRA’s investment
in Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC).

• Lower net income on equity, debt and other investments due
to fewer material asset realisations compared to prior year.
• Lower fee and commission income due to lower mergers and

partially offset by higher equity capital markets fee income.
Partially offset by:
• lower share of net losses from associates and joint
ventures due to changes in the composition and improved
performance of investments in the portfolio
• higher net interest and trading income due to lower funding
costs, higher interest income resulting from the growth in
the debt portfolio and lower mark-to-market losses
compared to prior year
• lower operating expenses driven by the structural change
in the prior year to refocus the Equities division on the
Asia-Pacific region, active cost management throughout
FY2021 across Macquarie Capital resulting in lower headcount
and lower employment expenses, and lower travel and
entertainment expenses due to COVID-19.

compared to the prior year as a result of COVID-19.
Offset by:
• higher employment expenses including increased headcount
to support volume growth and clients impacted by COVID-19,
as well as increased costs associated with investment
in technology to support business growth and to meet

• Improved client and trading activity in foreign exchange,
interest rate and credit products.
• Increased net operating lease income driven by higher

Review of group performance and financial position continued
Financial position
Balance sheet
The Consolidated Entity’s Statement of financial position was impacted during the year ended 31 March 2021 by changes
resulting from business activities, Group Treasury management initiatives, developments with respect to COVID-19 and
macroeconomic factors including the appreciation of the Australian dollar against major currencies.

on 31 March 20
In addition to the appreciation of the Australian dollar against
major currencies which contributed to the decrease in total
assets, the principal drivers for the decrease in the Consolidated
Entity’s total assets were as follows:
• derivative assets of $A20.6 billion as at 31 March 2021
decreased 55% from $A45.6 billion as at 31 March 2020
primarily due to a decrease in client trade volumes and
mark-to-market movements in energy markets, commodities,
interest rate and foreign exchange products in CGM
• interests in associates and joint ventures of $A4.2 billion
as at 31 March 2021 decreased 49% from $A8.3 billion as
at 31 March 2020 primarily due to the disposal of certain
associates during the year
• margin money and settlement assets of $A14.4 billion as
at 31 March 2021 decreased 12% from $A16.4 billion as at
31 March 2020 primarily due to lower trade volumes
resulting in a decrease in margin placed with financial
institutions by CGM
• held for sale assets of $A0.3 billion as at 31 March 2021
decreased 81% from $A1.6 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily
due to the subsequent sale of certain assets during the
current year
• cash collateral on securities borrowed and reverse repurchase
agreements of $A36.7 billion as at 31 March 2021 decreased
3% from $A37.7 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to
a decrease in reverse repurchase agreements in CGM
partially offset by an increase in Group Treasury reverse
repurchase agreements following lower Operating Group
funding requirements.
These decreases were partially offset by:
• loan assets of $A105.0 billion as at 31 March 2021 increased
12% from $A94.1 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due
to growth in the home loan portfolio partially offset by a
decrease in the vehicle finance portfolio in BFS and a decrease
in the corporate and commercial lending portfolio in CGM
• cash and bank balances of $A18.4 billion as at 31 March 2021
increased 90% from $A9.7 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily
due to an increase in surplus cash placed on overnight deposit
with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)
• trading assets of $A21.7 billion as at 31 March 2021 increased
28% from $A16.9 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to
an increase in precious metal and oil inventories in CGM.
In addition to the appreciation of the Australian dollar against major
currencies which contributed to the decrease in total liabilities, the
principal drivers for the decrease in the Consolidated Entity’s total
liabilities were as follows:
• derivative liabilities of $A17.6 billion as at 31 March 2021 decreased
54% from $A38.4 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to a
decrease in client trade volumes and mark-to-market movements
in energy markets, commodities, interest rate and foreign exchange
products in CGM
• borrowings of $A9.8 billion as at 31 March 2021 decreased 43%
from $A17.1 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to the net
repayment of debt facilities and disposal of borrowings, together
with related assets, to an associate
• debt issued of $A61.0 billion as at 31 March 2021 decreased 6%
from $A64.6 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to the
repayment of bondholder notes issued by securitisation vehicles
in BFS partially offset by the issuance of short-term debt in
Group Treasury.
These decreases were partially offset by:
• deposits of $A84.2 billion as at 31 March 2021 increased 25%
from $A67.3 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to an
increase in retail and business banking deposits in BFS
• cash collateral on securities lent and repurchase agreements
of $A4.5 billion as at 31 March 2021 increased significantly from
$A2.3 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to the draw down
of the Term Funding Facility from the RBA by Group Treasury and
increased stock lending transactions in CGM
• loan capital of $A9.4 billion as at 31 March 2021 increased 27% from
$A7.4 billion as at 31 March 2020 primarily due to the net issuance
of capital instruments and subordinated debt during the year.

on 31 March 20
The increase in the Consolidated Entity’s equity was predominantly
attributable to the increase in retained earnings, net of the amortisation of
share-based payment arrangements during the year, of $A2.3 billion.
This was partially offset by a decrease in the foreign currency
translation and net investment hedge reserve of $A1.7 billion following
the appreciation of the Australian dollar against major currencies, and
redemption of the Macquarie Income Securities of $A0.4 billion.

Operating and Financial Review
Review of group performance and financial position continued
$A8.8b
Group capital surplus
Capital
As an APRA authorised and regulated NOHC, Macquarie’s capital adequacy framework requires it to
maintain minimum regulatory capital requirements calculated as the sum of:
• the Bank Group’s minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, based on a percentage of risk-weighted assets
(RWAs) plus Tier 1 deductions using prevailing APRA ADI Prudential Standards; and
• the Non-Bank Group’s capital requirement, calculated using Macquarie’s Board-approved Economic
Capital Adequacy Model (ECAM).
Transactions internal to Macquarie are eliminated.
Macquarie remains well capitalised with APRA Basel III Group capital of $A26.3 billion at 31 March 2021,
with a Group surplus of $A8.8 billion ($A11.6 billion on a Harmonised(1) Basel III basis).
Under Basel III rules, APRA requires ADIs to have a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to RWAs of 8.5%
including the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (CCB), with at least 7% in the form of Common Equity Tier 1
capital, per APRA ADI Prudential Standard 110.(2)
In addition, APRA may impose ADI specific minimum capital ratios which may be higher than these levels.
The minimum Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III leverage ratio requirement of 3%
was effective from 1 January 2018.(3)
On 1 April 2021, APRA announced actions required regarding MBL’s risk management practices and ability
to calculate and report key prudential ratios. APRA increased MBL’s operational risk capital requirement
and made adjustments to requirements for certain liquidity prudential ratios, effective from 1 April 2021.
The actions relate to specific intra-group funding arrangements as well as breaches of APRA’s reporting
standards on liquidity between 2018 and 2020. APRA noted that the breaches are historical and do not
impact the current overall soundness of Macquarie Group’s capital and liquidity positions.
While specific historical matters leading to these actions have been addressed, Macquarie acknowledges
that continued work is required on its risk governance and operating platform and has programs in place
to strengthen capital and liquidity reporting and its risk management framework. Macquarie will work
closely with APRA on these programs through a period of intensified supervision.
As at 31 March 2021, the Bank Group had the following capital adequacy ratios:
Bank Group Level 2 Basel III ratios as at 31 March 2021
Harmonised Basel III
APRA Basel III
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio
Tier 1 Capital Ratio
Leverage Ratio
16.2%

12.6%
14.3%
5.5%
For further information relating to the capital adequacy of Macquarie, refer to section 6.0 Capital
of the Management Discussion and Analysis at macquarie.com/fy21‑mda
Outlook
We continue to maintain a cautious stance, with a conservative approach to capital,
funding and liquidity that positions us well to respond to the current environment.
The range of factors that may influence our short-term outlook include:
• the duration of COVID-19, speed of the global economic recovery and extent of
government support for economies
• market conditions including significant volatility events and the impact of
geopolitical events
• potential tax or regulatory changes and tax uncertainties
• completion of period-end reviews and the completion rate of transactions
• the geographic composition of income and the impact of foreign exchange.
(1) Basel III applies only to the Bank Group and not the Non-Bank Group. ‘Harmonised’ Basel III estimates are calculated in accordance with the BCBS
Basel III framework.
(2) Based on materiality, the countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) of ~1bps has not been included. The individual CCyB varies by jurisdiction and the Bank
Group’s CCyB is calculated as a weighted average based on exposures in different jurisdictions.
(3) APRA has released draft prudential standards on its implementation of a minimum requirement for the leverage ratio of 3.5% expected to be effective
from January 2023.

Corporate Governance
Macquarie’s key governance practices guide our decision-making to meet stakeholder
expectations of sound corporate governance, acknowledging Macquarie’s specific and
broader responsibilities to its shareholders, funders, clients, staff and the communities
in which it operates.
MGL’s corporate governance practices have been consistent with the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations throughout the year.
Macquarie is a global financial services group operating in 32 markets in asset management, retail and business banking, wealth
management, leasing and asset financing, market access, commodity trading, renewables development, specialist advice,
access to capital and principal investment.
Macquarie’s revised purpose statement ‘Empowering people to innovate and invest for a better future’ explains why we exist
We believe that by empowering people we will achieve our shared potential.
The way we fulfil our purpose is defined by our principles of Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity. These principles guide
Board, management and staff conduct and it is expected that they all meet these standards and deal honestly and fairly with
our clients, counterparties and regulators. There are appropriate consequences for anyone who fails to meet our standards.
The balance between opportunity and accountability, while operating with integrity within a strong risk management
framework, is a feature of Macquarie’s success and a key factor in our long record of unbroken profitability. Our corporate
governance practices reflect this balance.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Professional Conduct
Macquarie’s culture, as represented by our long-held
principles, may be summarised as follows:
Board oversight
The Board sets the ‘tone at the top’ in a highly visible manner.
Board members have extensive contact with staff at all levels
within the organisation and across regions.
There is a culture of open and frank discussion at the Board.
Actions taken by the Board seek to promote long-term
sustainability and prudent management of risk consistent
with What We Stand For.
In FY2021 there were 43 formal Board and Board Committee
meetings. At these meetings a total of approximately
620 items of business were presented by over 500 presenters
who were not members of the Board and Macquarie’s
Executive Committees. Between formal meetings
management provided the Board with material business and
other updates as well as information in response to requests
from Board members.
Workshops scheduled during FY2021 included presentations
on cultivating culture at Macquarie, human centred design
and Macquarie’s purpose, global regulatory reporting,
hydrogen as a source of renewable energy, recovery and
resolution planning, stress testing, market risk, regulatory
change, management of non-financial risk and cybersecurity.
Non-executive Board members also met regularly without
members of management and held private meetings with
each of the external auditor, Head of Internal Audit and Chief
Risk Officer (CRO) to assist with their oversight role.
Opportunity
Accountability
From March 2020, the Board transitioned to enabling
virtual attendance at all Board and Board Committee
meetings, workshops and meetings with management,
in response to COVID-19 restrictions.
Integrity
Board members believe that informal conversations with
staff are important in assessing the culture within Macquarie
and seeing Macquarie’s purpose at work. Board members
generally attend various staff functions in Australia and
conduct two overseas trips to Macquarie offices each year.
Due to international travel restrictions, the Board harnessed
the use of technology by holding virtual visits with the US,
EMEA and Asia offices. These visits helped to emulate the
in-person experience for the Board with presentations
from regional staff covering regional, group and strategy
updates, people and culture and Macquarie’s purpose in
practice, and presentations from external speakers. During
these virtual visits the Board engaged with approximately
120 staff presenters at all levels of seniority. Each visit
brought together staff from various locations within the
regions, increasing and enhancing the Board’s opportunity for
engagement with staff.
We are entrepreneurial. Our people
come from diverse backgrounds and are
empowered to work together to pursue
innovative ideas, to solve problems and
challenge conventional thinking. We work
hard and with enthusiasm and everyone
has the opportunity to achieve to their
full potential. We have a learning mindset,
and continually evolve our expertise and
recognise and reward performance.
We take pride and ownership of the
long‑term outcomes we deliver for
our clients and shareholders, our
communities and each other. We
manage risk to ensure these outcomes
are sustainable and invest our time and
capital to contribute to a better future.
We take ownership of the performance
of our endeavours and seek to quickly
identify and respond to emerging issues
and trends.
We operate with care and
professionalism. We work collaboratively
to amplify our impact and consider the
effect of our decisions on others. We
have the courage, and are encouraged,
to speak up with our ideas, when we
make a mistake or see something that
doesn’t seem right. We respect the law,
community expectations, our regulators,
shareholders, clients and customers and
each other.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
The Board’s response to COVID‑19
At Macquarie we have been agile in adapting our approach
to a rapidly changing environment and our longstanding
approach to crisis planning has proven that our systems
and processes have been resilient, reflecting Macquarie’s
long-term investment in technology.
As a global organisation with offices across Australia(1), the
Americas, EMEA and Asia, the Board is accustomed to the
use of technology to connect with regional attendees at
Board and Board Committee meetings. While the COVID-19
restrictions had an impact on convening in-person Board and
Board Committee meetings, the Board leveraged existing
meeting technology to host virtual meetings.
The Board engaged in overseeing Macquarie’s response to
COVID-19 which included:
• monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on Macquarie’s
changing risk profile
• considering the impact of COVID-19 on Macquarie’s
financial performance and position, capital requirements
and payment of dividends to shareholders
• overseeing Macquarie’s response to the COVID-19
pandemic relating to:
– employees: staff safety and well-being, systems and
processes for ongoing remote working and long-term
investment in technology and flexible working culture,
and investment in leadership capability, technology and
the workplace to respond to the evolving culture of
work and promote greater flexibility
– clients: initiatives introduced and delivered to support
retail and SME banking clients, including working
closely with clients in the most challenged sectors on
long-term resilience and response to disruption, and
active support to clients in all regions in raising essential
finance and capital
– portfolio companies: ongoing work with MIRA and
Macquarie Capital portfolio companies, including
projects under construction to ensure business
continuity, financial resilience and employee well-being,
and maintaining essential community services and
connected best practice across assets, industries
and regions
– community: $A20 million allocation to the Macquarie
Group Foundation to support community organisations
helping to combat the effects of COVID-19.
A gradual return to office is underway in 90% of Macquarie’s
locations and in numbers that allow for social distancing.
The Board has begun convening in-person Board and
Board Committee meetings with social distancing
measures observed.

Corporate Governance
Continued
Corporate Governance framework
Macquarie’s Code of Conduct
The Board approved Code of Conduct, which applies to Macquarie’s NEDs and staff:
• incorporates What We Stand For: Macquarie’s purpose and the principles of Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity that
guide the way staff conduct business
• provides clear guidance on good decision-making and escalation, encouraging staff to speak up and report genuine concerns
about improper conduct
• reinforces Macquarie’s key policies, including the Whistleblower Policy and the Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy.
To ensure that Macquarie’s culture of honesty and integrity remains strong throughout the organisation, all staff who join
Macquarie receive specific training on What We Stand For and the Code of Conduct. Existing staff also receive periodic training
and sign an annual certification that they understand the obligations imposed on them by the Code of Conduct as well as their
responsibility to adhere to the Code of Conduct.
What We Stand For and the Code of Conduct
are available at macquarie.com/what‑we‑stand‑for
Risk governance
Macquarie’s approach to risk management is based on stable and robust core risk management principles:
Ownership of risk
at the business level
Understanding
worst case outcomes
Independent
sign-off by Risk
Management Group
Principles stable for 30+ years
Supported by an appropriate risk culture
Details of Macquarie’s approach to risk management
is contained in the Risk Management section
The Board annually approves Macquarie’s Risk Management
Strategy and Risk Appetite Statement. The BRiC assists the
Board by providing oversight of Macquarie’s risk management
framework and advising the Board on Macquarie’s risk
appetite, risk culture and risk management strategy.
All Independent Directors of the Board are members of
the BRiC to support strong risk governance and oversight.
They constructively challenge management’s proposals
and decisions on risk management arising from business
activities. The Board is also assisted by the BAC, the Board
Remuneration Committee (BRC) and the BGCC in its
oversight of financial and non-financial risk.
40
During each year, including the most recent year, the Board
monitored the operation of Macquarie’s risk management
framework to satisfy itself that the framework continues to
be sound and that Macquarie is operating with due regard to
the risk appetite set by the Board. Key components of the
framework are reviewed by the relevant Risk Management
Group (RMG) divisions and the results are reported to the
Board. The Internal Audit Division reviews the compliance
with, and effectiveness of, Macquarie’s risk management
framework. The rolling three-year internal audit plan covers
all material elements of the framework on a rotational basis.
The risk management framework has been established on
the premise that a disciplined approach to risk management
is best maintained with a single risk management framework
located within Macquarie that applies to all Macquarie’s
Operating and Central Service Groups (including MBL and
its subsidiaries (Bank Group)). The Bank Group maintains its
own governance structure that is responsible for the sound
and prudent management of the Bank Group, with due
consideration to the interests of deposit holders.
Oversight of remuneration
Macquarie’s longstanding and consistent approach to
remuneration continues to support the overarching objective
of delivering strong company performance over the short
and long-term, while prudently managing risk and reinforcing
the Code of Conduct and What We Stand For.
The Board oversees Macquarie’s remuneration arrangements,
assisted by the BRC. The BRC annually reviews whether
Macquarie’s remuneration approach remains appropriate and
that it creates a strong alignment of staff and shareholders’
interests while prudently managing risk.
Macquarie’s remuneration framework and consequence
management processes are designed to promote
accountability, encourage innovation, reward appropriate
behaviours and discourage inappropriate behaviours.
The Remuneration Report contains further
information on:
• each NED’s current Macquarie shareholding, set out
in the Key Management Personnel (KMP) disclosure
• Macquarie’s approach and the amount of
remuneration paid to NEDs and Executive KMP.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
External auditor performance and
independence
At least annually, on behalf of the Boards of MGL and MBL,
the BAC reviews:
• the external auditor engagement: The BAC annually
reviews the terms of the engagement and assesses
the performance, quality and effectiveness of the
external auditor.
The BAC recommends to the Board the appointment of a
new, or removal of the existing, external auditor
• the external auditor’s independence: Before the
approval of the interim and year-end financial reports, the
BAC reviews the independence of the external auditor,
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Auditor independence
Macquarie’s Auditor Independence Policy requires BAC
approval, or between meetings the approval of the BAC
Chair for subsequent ratification by the BAC, for non-audit
work performed by the external auditor if the proposed
service falls outside the scope of pre-approved services or
the proposed engagement fee exceeds the policy’s local
currency threshold.
The policy, which reflects Australian legal requirements, also
requires that Macquarie’s lead auditor and review auditor be
rotated every five years unless the Board grants approval to
extend the term for up to a further two years.
Ms Kristin Stubbins of PwC has been Macquarie’s lead auditor
since FY2020. She attended the Annual General Meeting
(AGM) held during the reporting period and was available to
answer questions about the conduct of the audit, and the
preparation and content of the auditor’s report.
Macquarie’s auditor provides a declaration to the BAC at the
time of Macquarie’s interim and year-end financial reports,
that no prohibited non-audit services have been provided.
The external auditor is also required to declare in their audit
report that they are independent of MGL and its subsidiaries
in accordance with the auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the ethical
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (including Independence Standards) that are
relevant to its audit of the financial report in Australia.

Corporate Governance
Continued
Review of the quality and effectiveness of the
external auditor’s performance
The BAC conducts an annual review of the quality and
effectiveness of the external auditor, including qualifications,
expertise, resources and performance of the external auditor,
PwC. The process involves assessing PwC’s performance
against ASIC’s audit quality guidance, obtaining feedback
from the Board and senior stakeholders across various
Macquarie finance and business teams, and obtaining and
reviewing feedback from PwC on the results of any internal
or other external audit quality reviews relating to the audit.
A written report summarising the results of the review
and feedback from the Board and senior stakeholders
across Macquarie finance and business teams is presented
to, and discussed at, a BAC meeting and separately
discussed with PwC.
Based on the results of this year’s annual performance and
independence reviews, in May 2021 the BAC recommended
to the Board that PwC continue in its role as Macquarie’s
external auditor.
Board evaluation and consideration
In FY2021, the Board exercised its continuing oversight of the
performance of the external auditor. The Board members
provided feedback forming part of the annual performance
review of the external auditor considered by the BAC to
assess their effectiveness and service quality. In addition,
the Board conducted a comprehensive global review of
the appointment processes for an external auditor to
determine whether any change to the appointment process
was required. As a result, the Board agreed to a number
of changes to the appointment processes for the external
auditor which will be conducted annually.
Based on that assessment, the results of the auditor
independence review, the appointment process review and
recommendation of the BAC, in May 2021 the Board agreed
that PwC should continue as Macquarie’s external auditor.
Board and management
MGL’s Constitution sets out requirements concerning board
size, meetings, election of directors and the powers and
duties of directors. In accordance with the Constitution, the
Board has resolved that the maximum number of Directors is
currently twelve.
The Board Charter details the Board’s role and responsibilities
and matters expressly reserved for the Board, which include
approving the annual strategy and business plan, adopting
an annual budget, approving Macquarie’s funding and
capital management strategy, approving Macquarie’s
Risk Management Strategy and Risk Appetite Statement,
monitoring material risks faced by Macquarie and how they
are managed, appointing MGL’s Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and approving group policies relating
to remuneration, diversity and a code for ethical behaviour.
The role of the Board is to promote the long-term interests
of MGL, taking into account MGL’s specific and broader
responsibilities to its shareholders, funders, clients, staff and
the communities in which it operates.
The Board is assisted by its various Board Committees as
detailed in each Board Committee Charter.
MGL’s Constitution and Board Charter are available at
macquarie.com/corporate‑governance
The Board determines delegations to management and
approves applicable limits and policies.
The CEO has been granted authority for matters not
reserved for the Board or a Board Committee. Macquarie’s
Management Committees assist in the exercise of the
CEO’s delegated authority. The CEO, the CRO and the Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) report to the Board at each meeting.
In addition to regular reporting from management, the
Board has unrestricted access to senior management and
external advisers.
The Company Secretary is appointed by and accountable
to the Board, through the Chair, for matters relating to the
proper functioning of the Board.

Board Committees
MGL’s five standing Board Committees assist the Board in its oversight role. Board members have access to all Board Committee
meeting papers and may attend any Board Committee meeting. Subsequent to each Board Committee meeting, the minutes
are included in the Board papers and presented to the Board by the respective Committee Chairs.
All NEDs, who are Independent Directors, are members of the BRiC to assist the Board in its oversight of Macquarie’s risk
management framework. The Chairs of the Board and each Board Committee meet to broadly consider the work plan,
responsibilities and the performance of each Committee and to focus on any areas of overlap or gaps in Committee reporting
and responsibilities, including coordination of non-financial risk reporting between Committees and the coverage of risk
reporting across Committees.
The Board Committee Charters detailing the responsibilities
of each Committee are available at macquarie.com/corporate‑governance
Allocation of responsibilities between Board Committees
The following table provides a summary of the allocation of responsibilities between Board Committees.
Committee
Role
Board Risk Committee
(BRiC)
Board Governance and Compliance
Committee (BGCC)
Board Remuneration
Committee (BRC)
Board Audit Committee
(BAC)
Board Nominating Committee
(BNC)
The BRiC assists the Board by providing oversight of Macquarie’s risk management
framework and advising the Board on Macquarie’s risk appetite, risk culture and risk
management strategy. The BRiC receives information on material risks and reviews
the impact of developments in markets in which Macquarie operates on its risk profile.
The BRiC reviews and monitors Macquarie’s approach to risk culture and conduct risk, and
forms a view on Macquarie’s risk culture and the extent to which it supports the ability of
Macquarie to operate consistently within its risk appetite. The CRO reports directly to the
CEO and has a secondary reporting line to the BRiC.
The BGCC assists the Board with adopting the most appropriate corporate governance
standards for Macquarie and assists the Board in monitoring the operation of the
regulatory, legal and compliance risk framework of Macquarie, including reviewing
and monitoring compliance with Macquarie’s Conduct Risk Management Framework.
In addition, the BGCC reviews and monitors Macquarie’s work health and safety,
environmental and social risk management policies and customer and client reporting.
The BRiC, BRC and BAC oversee aspects of the regulatory, legal and compliance risk
framework relating to their duties and responsibilities.
The BRC makes recommendations to the Board that promote appropriate remuneration
policies and practices for Macquarie that drive behaviours that support Macquarie’s risk
management framework, promote Macquarie’s Code of Conduct and accountability of
staff for the business and customer outcomes they deliver by encouraging a long-term
perspective. The BRC reviews Human Resources-related reports and is responsible
for liaising with the BRiC to ensure there is effective coordination between the two
Committees to assist in producing a properly integrated approach to remuneration that
reflects prudent and appropriate risk. The BRC is also responsible for remuneration related
disclosures in the Remuneration Report.
The BAC assists the Board with its oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting,
auditing and financial reporting of Macquarie. The BAC also reviews the adequacy of
Macquarie’s control framework for financial regulatory reporting to banking regulators and
monitors the internal financial control environment. The BAC monitors the effectiveness,
objectivity and independence of the external auditor. The BAC reviews reports from
the external auditor and Internal Audit, referring matters relating to the duties and
responsibilities of the BRiC and BGCC to the appropriate Board Committee. The BAC also
monitors and reviews the performance of the Head of Internal Audit and the effectiveness
of the Internal Audit function.
The BNC assists the Board in satisfying itself that it has an appropriate mix of skills,
experience, tenure and diversity for the Board to be an effective decision-making body and
to provide successful oversight and stewardship of Macquarie.

Corporate Governance
Continued
Commitment to shareholders and
an informed market
Macquarie believes that shareholders, regulators, rating
agencies and the investment community should be informed
of all material business events and risks that influence
Macquarie in a factual, timely and widely available manner.
Macquarie has an investor relations program to facilitate
effective two-way communication with investors and
analysts and to provide a greater understanding of
Macquarie’s business, performance, governance and financial
prospects. Macquarie engages with institutional investors,
private investors, sell-side analysts and buy-side analysts
throughout the year via scheduled and ad hoc interactions.
Macquarie has a continuous disclosure policy that is
incorporated in its Continuous Disclosure & External
Communications Policy. This policy includes a Continuous
Disclosure Committee, which may be convened to consider
matters that may require disclosure to ASX in accordance
with Macquarie’s continuous disclosure obligations.
All external communications which include any price sensitive
material for public announcement, annual and interim result
announcements, release of financial reports, presentations
to investors and analysts and other prepared investor
presentations for Macquarie will, in accordance with the
Continuous Disclosure & External Communications Policy:
• be factual and subject to internal review and authorisation
before issue
• not omit material information
• be timely and expressed in a clear and objective manner.
Material announcements relating to matters that fall within
the reserved powers of the Board and not delegated to
management are referred to the Board for approval.
The Board receives copies of material market announcements
promptly after they have been released by ASX.
Macquarie’s Continuous Disclosure & External
Communications Policy is available at
macquarie.com/corporate‑governance
As part of Macquarie’s commitment to keep its investor
base informed, management presents at various investment
conferences and conducts investor visits and meetings
(including virtual) throughout the year. All material investor
or analyst presentations are lodged with ASX ahead of the
presentation and made available on Macquarie’s website.
Periodic corporate reports that are not audited or reviewed
by PwC are verified internally by management prior to release
to ASX. The verification process allocates material disclosures
within the relevant document to designated persons to
substantiate the disclosures by reference to company source
documents or, if no source documents are available, by
persons with the knowledge and expertise to confirm the
accuracy and completeness of the disclosures.
Macquarie’s website
Recent announcements, past and current reports to
shareholders, including summaries of key financial data,
operational briefing presentations, AGM webcasts and copies
of recent notices of meeting are available on the investor
centre page of our website. Investor Relations contacts are
also available on our website.
Shareholders can elect to receive communications
electronically by contacting MGL’s share registry.

Shareholder meetings
MGL encourages shareholders to participate in general
meetings and aims to choose a date, time and venue
convenient to its shareholders. For shareholders who are
unable to attend in person, MGL provides a webcast of
its AGM and any other general meetings. The results of all
resolutions are lodged with ASX as soon as they are available
after the meeting.
MGL typically holds its AGM in July each year.
Notices of meeting are accompanied by explanatory notes
on the items of business and together they seek to clearly
explain the nature of business of the meeting.
If shareholders are unable to attend the meeting, they are
encouraged to vote on the proposed motions by appointing
a proxy. The proxy form included with a notice of meeting
explains how to appoint a proxy. Online proxy voting is also
available to shareholders.
Unless specifically stated in a notice of meeting, all holders of
fully paid ordinary shares are eligible to vote on all resolutions.
MGL’s practice is that voting on each proposed resolution is
conducted by poll.
MGL seeks to conduct its shareholder meetings in a
courteous manner for those attending. In the interests of
attending shareholders, the chair of the meeting will exercise
their powers as the chair to ensure that the meeting is
conducted in an orderly and timely fashion.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Macquarie decided in the
interests of the health and safety of shareholders, staff
and other stakeholders, to hold MGL’s 2020 AGM online.
Shareholders were provided with various alternatives to
participate in the AGM, including by watching the AGM
live through a facility that enabled shareholders to vote
and to ask questions or make comments online and a
dial-in teleconference to listen to the meeting live and to
ask questions on the telephone but not vote.

At Macquarie, the diversity of our people is one of our
greatest strengths. An inclusive workplace enables us
to embrace diversity to deliver more innovative and
sustainable solutions for our clients, shareholders,
communities and our people.
Diversity and Inclusion
This year Macquarie staff have taken part in programs, both virtually and face-to-face, that celebrate diversity, support inclusion and provide development opportunities to
under-represented people in our communities.
46
Diversity and Inclusion
Our commitment
Macquarie’s growth has been driven by the entrepreneurialism
of our people and the unique ideas and perspectives applied
to finding opportunities. Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) is a
business priority and remains fundamental to Macquarie’s
success. It is also a shared responsibility with everyone from
our newest employees to our most senior leaders playing a
role in creating an inclusive workplace where our people are
safe to be themselves and reach their full potential.
In FY2021, we reaffirmed our commitment to building a
diverse workforce that reflects the communities in which we
operate. Our leadership teams in each Operating and Central
Service Group and region have developed D&I strategies to
realise tangible results aligned to our Workforce Diversity
Policy. Progress towards achieving Macquarie’s FY2021 D&I
objectives is disclosed in this report.
Macquarie is committed to:
• continue building a workforce that reflects all aspects
of diversity to bring a range of perspectives, ideas and
insights to everything we do
• fostering a workplace where our people feel respected
for their uniqueness, valued for their contribution and
empowered to reach their full potential
• providing and supporting additional commercial and
development opportunities for under-represented people
in our community.
Macquarie’s Workforce Diversity Policy is available
at macquarie.com/diversity‑and‑inclusion
Diversity and Inclusion objectives
Holding ourselves to account is critical to demonstrating our
commitment to D&I progress. During FY2021 responsibility
for reviewing and approving the Diversity and Inclusion
Report was re-allocated from the Board Governance
and Compliance Committee to the Board Remuneration
Committee (BRC) to align with the BRC’s oversight of our
key people-related strategies. The Workforce Diversity
Policy provides that each year the BRC will set measurable
objectives for increasing the diversity of Macquarie’s
workforce and maintaining a culture of respect and inclusion.
Our D&I objectives reflect the commitment to action
across our organisation. Each employee is responsible for
creating a respectful and inclusive culture and valuing the
diverse ideas and perspectives of others. Management
Committees globally, in each Operating and Central Service
Group and region, are accountable for achieving Macquarie’s
D&I objectives. The Board and BRC receive regular updates
on progress against Macquarie’s D&I commitments and
challenge our leaders to do better.
Macquarie’s BRC has endorsed the FY2021 D&I objectives
as set out below.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Our diverse people
Macquarie is committed to building a workforce that reflects
all aspects of diversity and intersectionality to bring a range
of perspectives, ideas and insights to everything we do. Our
focus continues to be on developing the internal and external
pipeline of women and people from under-represented
groups at all levels and enhancing our recruitment and talent
practices to facilitate this. Macquarie’s objectives are:
Workforce composition:
• increase representation of under-represented groups
across our workforce
• maintain gender balance on Intern and Graduate programs
• increase representation of under-represented groups
at the senior leadership levels of Executive Committee,
Division Head and Senior Executive
• increase diversity of our Board of Directors, including
always having at least 30% gender diversity.
Diversity practices:
• expand the collection of demographic data to build
additional metrics and better understand the diversity of
our workforce
• evolve practices to attract candidates with broad inherent
and acquired diversity

Progress FY2021
Our ongoing commitment to achieving gender balance
is demonstrated by the year-on-year increase in female
representation across Macquarie’s total workforce. In FY2021,
Macquarie’s Senior Executives comprise a greater proportion
of females than in preceding years. 46% of Macquarie’s Board
of Directors are female. A reduction in female representation
at Division Head level in FY2021 was due to changes in
organisational structure with a slightly greater proportion
of senior women than men changing reporting lines which
had an impact on the categorisation of their role. Whilst
Division Head representation is dependent on reporting
line structure, the year-on-year increase in female Senior
Executives, which includes Division Directors and Executive
Directors, demonstrates the growing pipeline of senior
women in Macquarie.

The majority of all roles filled globally during FY2021 had at
least one female candidate on the shortlist and one or more
female Macquarie staff on the interview panel. Women
continue to be hired in greater proportion than the underlying
female application rate. Macquarie maintained gender
balanced Intern and Graduate programs in FY2021.
Macquarie’s Returner Programs continue to support
candidates in key global locations to reintegrate into the
workforce following extended professional career breaks.
Female and male turnover have remained comparable.
Macquarie continues to provide support to working parents
and those with carer’s responsibilities through initiatives such
as childcare centres, backup child/adult/eldercare, nursing
mothers’ facilities and return-to-work coaching for parents.
The vast majority of part-time and full-time employees
are able to access some form of company paid parental
leave provisions.
Macquarie’s global return to work rate was 97% in FY2021 and
high retention rates continue to be achieved for staff who
have taken parental leave.
Macquarie encourages staff to share their cultural background
so we may better understand the diversity of our workforce.
We continue to focus on attracting candidates with broad
inherent and acquired diversity, and we continue to invest
in new recruitment channels to expand our reach beyond
traditional financial services sectors. As examples, to better
connect and engage with talent from under-represented
ethnic groups, Macquarie partnered with Jopwell, Seizing
Every Opportunity, and BLK Capital Management in the
US, and continued participation in the CareerTrackers and
CareerSeekers internship programs in Australia, placing
39 students during FY2021. In the UK and Australia,
Macquarie’s Graduate recruitment team ran a Female
Business Series with a goal of encouraging female university
students to explore a career in finance. In India, Macquarie
continued its partnership with Asha to provide internship
opportunities to university students from economically
disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our inclusive culture
Creating a workplace where our people feel respected for their
uniqueness, valued for their contribution and empowered to
reach their full potential is essential for diversity of thought
to flourish. We are embedding inclusion and psychological
safety in our culture though day-to-day practices (behavioural
inclusion) and programs and policies (structural inclusion).
Macquarie’s objectives are:
Behavioural inclusion:
• continue developing inclusive leadership capabilities of
our managers and leaders
• further promote psychological safety, and respectful
and inclusive behaviour through awareness and
education activities
• encourage flexible working in all its forms
• foster a culture of natural sponsorship of people from
under-represented groups to create pathways to
senior management.
Division Head refers to critical roles across Macquarie. It typically includes executives two layers down from the CEO.
(1)
(2) Senior Executive refers to Macquarie’s combined Division Director and Executive Director population.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Structural inclusion:
• continue to equip senior managers with data to
understand the diversity of their teams and assess the
inclusiveness of their practices
• monitor the equity of people decisions, holding senior
managers accountable for inclusive practices
• further embed the principles of D&I in all people related
policies, processes and programs to ensure the highest
and fairest standards:
– maintain pay equity for like roles and performance
– provide equal access to opportunities and future skilling
– maintain equity for people of all gender and cultural
backgrounds in promotion opportunities
– provide staff with access to flexible working.
Progress FY2021
With the majority of staff working remotely in FY2021,
Macquarie moved quickly to transition our development
programs to a virtual setting. Macquarie expanded on its
inclusive leadership training with an additional focus on
equipping managers with knowledge and skills to maintain
inclusive environments whilst leading teams remotely. The
shift to virtual training has allowed us to connect more
regularly with employees in all of our offices around the
globe. In our 2020 staff survey, 92% of employees stated that
they felt just as or more included in their teams than they did
before working remotely as a result of COVID-19.
Whilst hybrid working has long been part of Macquarie’s
working practice, the COVID-19 environment has enhanced
the diverse ways in which we connect with each other.
Resources and workshops were provided to staff throughout
FY2021 to facilitate best practices for remote working,
particularly for those working from home whilst managing
caring responsibilities. In our 2020 staff survey, 92% of
employees stated that they felt just as or more productive
at work than they did before COVID-19.
Macquarie has adopted hybrid working as part of the evolving
culture of work, and subject to local regulations, the majority
of Macquarie’s employees seek to work more flexibly than
they did before COVID-19. Macquarie recognises that working
flexibly means different things to different people and exists
in many forms. Macquarie empowers staff to manage their
work and time to suit their own roles, the needs of their
teams, and achieve their career and personal goals.
Cultural diversity has been a priority for our leaders and
Employee Network Groups (ENGs) around the world for
several years. Following the heightened attention on racial
injustices across the world that commenced in the US,
before leading to similar movements around the globe,
Macquarie accelerated initiatives to ensure we are building
an organisation that takes real steps towards racial equity
and full inclusion for all colleagues. New initiatives were
put in place to enhance our focus on equitable career
progression and development opportunities for all staff.
In many markets, small group forums on racial equity and
social justice were held to facilitate conversations on current
and historical issues impacting Black communities and the
corporate work environment. Staff were encouraged to share
personal stories or observed experiences in these forums,
as well as through open dialogue with leaders. Resources
were provided to enable leaders to facilitate conversations
about race. Managers at all levels are also being provided
with greater access to training to help our leaders to be
better advocates and foster a culture of belonging. Our
multicultural ENGs, made up of members and allies, played an
active role in supporting and advocating for our colleagues from
under-represented groups. In the Americas, the very nuanced
impacts affecting our Black employees and the community
led to the launch of the Black Employees at Macquarie
(BE@M) ENG, in addition to the existing multicultural
ENG (Unity).
This year Macquarie staff have taken part in programs, both virtually and face-to-face, that celebrate diversity, support inclusion and provide development opportunities to
under-represented people in our communities.

Diversity and Inclusion
Continued
Across our regions and groups, we have programs
and initiatives to develop a culture of sponsorship to
support our talent from under-represented groups into
leadership roles.
Macquarie’s ENGs span culture and heritage, families, First
Nations, gender, LGBTQ, race and ethnicity, veterans and
wellness, and provide staff with opportunities to exchange
ideas, build relationships and support Macquarie’s D&I
strategy. The ENGs led staff in their regions in recognising
days of significance throughout the year.
The principles of equity and inclusion are embedded
in Macquarie’s people related practices and processes,
including core talent programs, recruitment processes,
remuneration and promotion criteria. We continue to focus
on creating opportunities for all staff to demonstrate skills
and capability and their promotion readiness; and ensuring
we support staff from under-represented groups through the
critical midcareer levels and into senior roles.
Workforce data is regularly analysed and provided to senior
managers so they may assess the equity of people decisions,
the inclusiveness of practices in their teams and to identify
where additional action is needed. Senior managers are also
held accountable for achieving inclusion objectives. In FY2021:
• remuneration outcomes were reviewed to ensure pay
equity for like roles and performance across all Operating
and Central Service Groups and regions. No significant
differences in remuneration outcomes were found to exist
between males and females for like roles and performance
• a higher proportion of women completed the Macquarie
Masterclasses, Macquarie’s new leadership development
series, compared to the proportion of women at Executive
Director-level
• promotion decisions and outcomes were reviewed and
analysed to identify any gender discrepancies. Promotion
rates of males and females to Director levels have
remained comparable.
Our clients and community
Macquarie is committed to providing and supporting
commercial and development opportunities for
under-represented people in our community. We have
long-term funding partnerships with non-profit organisations
around the globe and our staff participate in a variety of
activities including literacy and employability coaching,
and mentoring. We are proud of the awards we have
received this year and are committed to doing more to
provide opportunities to under-represented people in our
communities. Macquarie’s objectives are to:
• continue to tailor the delivery of our services to meet the
needs of our diverse client base
• increase opportunities in our supply chain for businesses
that have been historically under-represented in our
communities or those driven by a social purpose
• further support the progress of under-represented groups
through partnerships and sponsorships with organisations
in the diversity sector
• increase promotion of finance careers to secondary
school and university students from under-represented
groups to increase the diversity of the finance industry
• participate in additional D&I benchmarking indexes to
identify opportunities for improvement.
Progress FY2021
Macquarie is committed to fostering a diverse and
inclusive workplace for its own staff and seeks to instil this
commitment within its assets under management when
possible. For example, in the MAM business, MIRA is focused
on progressing D&I initiatives at the asset level and equipping
its portfolio board directors and portfolio company
leaders with resources and training to foster an inclusive
environment and set measurable diversity objectives.
As part of our procurement strategy, Macquarie includes
sustainability and supplier diversity requirements within
tender documents. In FY2021, Macquarie spent over
$A12 million with minority-owned businesses in our tier
one and tier two supply chain.(3)
(3) Includes qualified businesses from traditionally under-represented groups such as companies owned and operated by minorities, women, Indigenous Australians and small businesses.
Tier one is defined as spend incurred via diverse suppliers directly contracted by Macquarie. Tier two is defined as spend incurred via fourth parties meeting the diverse supplier
definition, indirectly supporting goods and services delivered to Macquarie.

$US1 million to support community groups working to promote racial equity in the US. In the UK, Macquarie’s Graduate team
partnered with the Bright Network to develop a coaching program for Black, Asian and Minority ethnic students, aimed at
increasing the number of students applying to internships.
In FY2021 Macquarie was recognised for its commitment and progress in creating an inclusive workplace for its diverse staff
across the globe. In the UK, Macquarie is currently one of the few financial services firms to feature as a Top 75 employer in the
Social Mobility Foundation’s Social Mobility Index, a national benchmark on diversity and inclusion, and Macquarie maintained
its ranking of 33rd in the UK Stonewall Workplace Equality Index, a national benchmark on LGBTQ workplace inclusion. In
the US, Macquarie received a score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation 2021 Corporate Equality Index for
LGBTQ inclusion. In Asia, Macquarie was named a Silver Employer in India’s Workplace Equality Index and in Japan’s PRIDE Index
for its efforts in creating an inclusive environment for LGBTQ staff. Macquarie ranked in the top 100 Best Companies for Women
in India (BCWI). Macquarie joined The Valuable 500, a global collective focused on disability inclusion. In Australia, Macquarie was
accredited as a Carer Friendly Organisation with Carers + Employers, and we continued our partnership with Heads Over Heels

Environmental, Social and Governance
Macquarie’s Board and Management recognise the importance of sound Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) practices as part of their responsibility to our clients,
shareholders, communities, people and the environment in which Macquarie operates.
ESG approach
Macquarie’s ESG approach is structured around eight focus
areas considered to be material to our business.
Clear dialogue with stakeholders is important to building
strong relationships, understanding external dynamics,
earning and maintaining trust, enhancing business
performance and evolving our ESG approach. We regularly
engage with a broad range of stakeholders including clients,
shareholders, investors, analysts, governments, regulators,
staff, suppliers and the wider community.
ESG governance
The Board is responsible for approving Macquarie’s ESG
framework including major ESG policies. In accordance
with its Charter, the Board Governance and Compliance
Committee (BGCC) assists the Board in adopting appropriate
governance standards and reviewing the operation of
environmental and social risk management policies.
Responsibility for implementation of the ESG framework and
related board approved policies resides with Management.

Environmental and social risk management
Macquarie recognises that failure to manage
ESG risks could affect communities, the
environment and other external parties
and expose the organisation to commercial,
reputational and regulatory impacts.
Assessing and managing Macquarie wide
ESG risks is a key business priority and an
important component of our broader risk
management framework, detailed in the Risk
Management section of this Annual Report.
Under the Code of Conduct all staff share responsibility
for identifying and managing environmental and social issues
as part of normal business practice. Staff are supported by
the ESR team.

implementing Macquarie wide and business-specific policies,
conducting transaction reviews, providing advice on ESG
risks and opportunities and facilitating training. The ESR team
sits within the Risk Management Group and regularly reports
to the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and to the BGCC on ESG
related matters.
ESR in transactions
Environmental and social risks are managed through
the implementation of the ESR and Work Health and
Safety (WHS) policies, which are based on international
standards.(7) These are updated periodically to address
opportunities for improvement and emerging issues.

Macquarie’s ESR Policy describes our approach to ESR
management in client onboarding and across a broad range
of transactions including equity investments, financing,
leasing and advisory mandates. The ESR Policy provides
a robust process to assess, manage, mitigate, monitor
and report environmental and social risks and takes a
precautionary approach to ESR issues including labour
and employment practices, climate change, human rights,
resource efficiency, pollution prevention, biodiversity
and cultural heritage. Based on international guidelines,
including the International Finance Corporation Performance
Standards, the ESR Policy provides escalated decision-making
and approval processes, alongside the credit approval
process, for material environmental and social risks.
Transactions with material environmental and social risks are
referred to the CRO and may be escalated to the Executive
Committee or Macquarie Board.

Human rights
Macquarie recognises the duty of States to protect human
rights and the responsibility of businesses to respect human
rights. Macquarie supports fundamental human rights as set
out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and core
ILO Conventions.
Macquarie has a framework of polices and processes in place
to identify and mitigate potential and actual human rights,
including modern slavery, impacts resulting from our business
activities and the relationships connected to those activities.
This year, we produced our fifth modern slavery and human
trafficking statement, and first joint statement under the UK
Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Australian Modern Slavery
Act 2018 (Cth).
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Work health and safety in investments
Macquarie acknowledges that WHS risks are inherent in
our investments and recognises, supports, and promotes
the right of every worker to return home safely from their
workplace. We have zero tolerance for loss of life or serious
injuries or illnesses sustained in, or resulting from, the work
environment, as set out in our WHS Policy.
In line with our updated Macquarie-wide WHS vision, we
continued to facilitate WHS improvements for operating
assets in which Macquarie has an equity interest or manages
on behalf of a fund. Our comprehensive safety framework
is built around culture and leadership, governance and
assurance. It involves:
• promoting clear WHS expectations with our
business partners
• identifying key WHS risks and conducting due diligence
prior to investment
• training our people to support the governance
of WHS risks
• monitoring and reviewing WHS performance regularly
• investigating incidents that did or had the potential to
result in serious injuries
• sharing lessons learnt and best practices across our
business groups and regions
• ongoing reviews and audits.
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the health and
safety risk in our investments and on the way Macquarie
engages with their management. Examples of how we have
responded to these challenges include:
• investment of significant resources in the immediate
response and on an ongoing basis to support the
implementation of additional precautions required to
protect the workforce and public (e.g. social distancing and
hygiene factors)
• maintaining awareness of COVID-19 restrictions and their
impact on front-line delivery by sharing best practices and
lessons learned across regions and business groups
• introduction of virtual site visits to show support and
engage with the workforce in the absence of face-to-face
meetings and ability to travel to site.
Macquarie will continue to regularly discuss best practices
and lessons learnt in the ongoing response to COVID-19.

Climate change
Climate change is one of the most complex and critical challenges facing the world, and
the finance sector has a vital role to play in efforts to limit global warming. For almost two
decades, Macquarie has worked with governments and clients to drive the energy transition
and advance solutions to climate challenges.
Supporting the transition to a net zero economy
We are committed to reaching net zero operational
emissions by 2025 and aligning our financing activity with the
global goal of net zero emissions by 2050.(9) This is consistent
with our purpose of ‘Empowering people to innovate and
invest for a better future’.
We have built expertise in investing directly in climate
mitigation and adaptation and in supporting our clients
and portfolio companies to decarbonise their activities.
Our activity spans the supply and financing of renewable
energy, including green Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs),
storage, firming, transmission and distribution solutions;
risk and capital solutions in transition, green and lower
carbon fuels and metals; asset finance for zero emission
transportation, smart meters, energy efficiency and onsite
generation; precision agriculture; and carbon offsetting. Our
leading advisory business supports clients to raise capital,
invest and align their portfolios with the transition to a net
zero economy.
In the past year, we have made further progress in
partnership with our clients. Our asset management business
announced plans to manage its portfolio in line with global
net zero emissions by 2040. Our principal investment
business is developing over 30 GW of new renewable energy
projects across four continents. And our commodities and
global markets business has created new products to offset
the carbon impact of commodities like oil and gas.
As global commitments to tackling climate change
accelerate, and in keeping with our culture of innovation and
evolution, we are strengthening our own commitment on
climate in four key areas.
First, we are strengthening our support for clients and
portfolio companies to manage the transition to net zero and
achieve their decarbonisation ambitions.
In our asset management business, we have started
work with portfolio companies to consistently measure
greenhouse gas emissions and identify emission reduction
opportunities. Where we have sufficient influence, we will
work with these businesses to develop plans that will put
them on a pathway to reduce emissions in line with a net zero
economy by 2040.
More broadly, we are working with our clients to achieve a
managed transition to net zero. We recognise that much of
the world will depend on oil and gas to power economies
and that until new, commercially viable technologies become
available, these fuels will have a continued role in the
provision of essential energy. We will continue to support
clients in these sectors, and we are engaging with them to
design both finance and technology solutions that will
help them deliver a managed transition to decarbonise and
reduce the emissions intensity of their activities.
Second, we are increasing our investment in climate
mitigation and adaptation solutions.
This builds on our leading position as a global developer,
investor, financer, and manager of renewable energy projects.
In addition to our leading role in established technologies
like wind and solar, we expect to increase investment in
important emerging transition opportunities including
zero emissions transport, hydrogen, carbon sequestration,
nature-based solutions, and climate resilient infrastructure.
Third, we will align the emissions of our financing activities
with the objective of enabling and accelerating the world’s
pathway to net zero by 2050. As part of this commitment,
we will measure and set interim and long-term science-based
emissions targets for our financing activities, prioritising
our efforts on clients and partners in high emission sectors
and the role that Macquarie will play in accelerating their
pathways to net zero.
We recognise that the financial sector does not currently
have fully established methodologies and tools to measure
and manage emissions across all types of financing activities
and sectors. We will work to expand our approach as industry
practice develops and continue to collaborate with our peers
to evolve and shape measurement standards.
As previously indicated, we have reduced our limited
remaining equity and lending exposures to the coal sector,
which are expected to run off by 2024.
Finally, we will continue to reduce the emissions of our own
business operations. We have maintained carbon neutrality
across our offices, data centres and business travel since
2010 and, consistent with our 2025 Sustainability Plan, we
are committed to reaching net zero operational emissions by
2025, including targets to reduce energy use and meet all of
our operational needs from renewable sources.
We will outline more detail in each of these four areas by
publishing a Macquarie Net Zero Plan by the end of 2022, and
annual progress reports thereafter.
Advocacy and engagement
Macquarie continues to support global efforts to better
understand the impact of climate change on society, our
clients and our business. This involves a diverse range of
activity including engaging clients and assets; research
projects into areas such as reducing agricultural emissions
with CSIRO; active engagement in initiatives like the Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD); and
collaborating with other financial institutions through the
Climate Finance Leadership Initiative (CFLI), Sustainable
(9) Operational emissions include scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, and emissions from business travel.
56
Environmental, Social and GovernanceContinued Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Markets Initiative (SMI) and broader multi-stakeholder
initiatives like the Global Commission on Adaptation (GCA).
Throughout FY2021 Macquarie took part in a range of global
and national initiatives including: the Global Adaptation
Summit, the Australian Government’s Technology Investment
Roadmap, and the launch of the UK Government’s ten-point
plan to tackle climate change and deliver the UK’s ambitious
net zero commitments.
Through these and other engagements, Macquarie is
working to pursue opportunities to advance mitigation and
adaptation solutions and improve our understanding of the
risks associated with climate change.
More broadly, our industry experts continue to work with
governments, non-government organisations and industry
groups to build international capacity in the green finance
sector and promote confidence among investors to finance
green assets. Globally, last year, we took an active role in
over 120 industry initiatives and conferences, and advisory
groups establishing common international standards for
Sustainable Finance.
Task Force on Climate‑related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD)
Alongside the action being taken by our businesses,
Macquarie continues to support the important work of the
TCFD and is actively implementing its recommendations.
In July 2020, we published a detailed report outlining our
progress towards TCFD implementation. The report provides
details of the transition and physical risk heat mapping and
scenario analysis that was completed in 2020.
Scenario analysis
We continue to build on the physical and transition risk heat
mapping undertaken in FY2020 for our lending and equity
portfolios under 1.5°C and 3–4°C scenarios. Our approach for
FY2021 focuses on better understanding the physical climate
risk impacts (chronic and acute) to our infrastructure equity
investments in the utilities, oil and gas sectors. We continue
to evolve our approach to scenario analysis to support
integration into our existing stress testing activities.
We have also commenced an assessment of the operational
resilience of our business operations to physical climate risks.
This analysis of our strategic locations will support long-term
business continuity and resilience planning.
This section includes a summary of our climate-related
disclosures. A more detailed report will be published as
analysis progresses during the FY2022 year.

FY2021 energy sector exposures
$A6.64 invested in renewable energy for every $A1
invested in conventional energy as at 31 March 2021.(10)
In supporting clients and economies through a managed
transition, we also note that global projections of
power generation indicate an ongoing role for gas to
complement renewable energy. Macquarie has played a
leading role in increased deployment of renewables and
the wider decarbonisation of the global economy.
Particular focus was placed on trying to address the
various challenges that remain to full transition including
energy storage, land use, the need for a greater number
of investible projects and greater levels of investment in
adaptation and resilience projects. In FY2021 these efforts
continued globally, see pages 60–63 of this Annual Report.

Finance, develop and advise
Macquarie has a substantial and longstanding commitment
to the renewable energy sector, offering a full range of
financial services and products across the organisation that
target investments in projects to support the transition to
a low carbon economy. We service clients across various
technologies including solar, wind, waste-to-energy, bioenergy
and energy efficiency.
When Macquarie acquired the Green Investment Bank in
2017, forming the Green Investment Group (GIG), we made
a commitment to invest £3 billion in green energy projects
by 31 December 2020. Since the acquisition, the GIG has
remained true to its original mission, with £4.7 billion invested
or arranged in green energy projects in the UK and Europe
and £6.9 billion invested globally by the target date.
Through the GIG, a signatory to the UN Principles for
Responsible Investment (PRI) and Equator Principles,
Macquarie is dedicating a growing proportion of our
resources to early-stage project development to help bridge
the gap of development stage funding and accelerate the
global energy transition. Currently, GIG is progressing 30 GW
of development projects and is focused on delivering that
pipeline into construction and expanding on it.
We are a leader in green impact reporting for public
disclosure and our Carbon Score methodology has been
combined with BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) renewable energy
project data to assess the positive carbon impact of wind
and solar assets on the BNEF platform.
Macquarie also advises, sponsors and invests in social
infrastructure, assisting public and private entities to deliver
essential services including hospitals, schools, social housing
and justice facilities.
Manage
Macquarie’s asset management businesses are committed
to evaluating ESG factors in investment decision-making and
engaging with investors on ESG issues. MAM is a signatory
to the UN PRI. Divisions within MAM have established
specific ESG policies and approaches that reflect the ESG
considerations associated with their business.
This year, MAM has announced its commitment to invest and
manage its portfolio in line with global net zero emissions by
2040, ten years ahead of the deadline to achieve the goals
of the Paris Agreement. This announcement included a
range of commitments that will reduce emissions across the
MAM portfolio and build sustainable long-term value for the
benefit of portfolio companies, clients and the communities
in which it operates.
Environmental, Social and GovernanceContinued Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
To support this, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets
(MIRA) implemented initiatives including training and actions
to improve carbon and energy reporting from its fund

Our work in action
To help finance its growing role in renewables financing,
Macquarie issued its first £500 million Green Loan facility in 2018.
This year, in response to the growing interest in green investment across Japan, we issued a
$US300 million Samurai loan facility, including a $US150 million green tranche. Proceeds from the
green tranche will support eligible green projects globally that provide clear green benefits under
Macquarie’s Green Finance Framework. The green tranche will adopt the four pillars identified in
the Green Loan Principles published by the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA).

Developing and managing renewable energy projects
Macquarie had 13,800 MW of green energy assets in operation
or under management at 31 March 2021, spanning established
technologies like wind, solar and energy-from-waste.(17) New
projects are also integrating emerging technologies like utility
scale storage, floating offshore wind and hydrogen.
Building on this, the next stage, known as the Acorn Hydrogen
project, will include the infrastructure to remove the carbon
from natural gas supplied from the North Sea and introduce
hydrogen to the UK gas supply, cutting carbon emissions from
homes, transportation, and industry.
For example, GIG recently launched a new European solar energy
company, Cero Generation, which will develop and construct
utility-scale and on-site generation projects, as well as integrated
energy storage solutions, across Europe.(18) Its current 8 GW
portfolio containing over 150 projects makes it one of the largest
solar development portfolios in the region.
In Korea, GIG has partnered with Total to develop a portfolio of
floating offshore wind projects totalling an initial 2.3 GW. The
portfolio will support the delivery of the Korean Government’s
New Deal plan and target to deliver 12 GW of offshore wind by
2030 and represents GIG’s first major investment in floating
offshore wind technology.
In February 2021, another partnership with Total successfully
secured the seabed lease rights to develop a 1.5 GW offshore
wind project located off the UK’s east coast. This represents
a significant early-stage investment which will enable GIG’s
considerable expertise and technical capability to support the
project’s full development lifecycle.
CGM has taken a minority equity stake in Storegga
Geotechnologies Limited (Storegga), which has been established
to deliver carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen and
other energy transition projects. With deep sector expertise,
CGM provides strategic support to Storegga’s ongoing projects,
including one of the UK’s first CCS projects known as Acorn CCS.
This project will repurpose existing oil and gas infrastructure and a
depleted gas reservoir to store carbon dioxide from the St Fergus
Gas Terminal in Northern Scotland and other emitter customers.
Financing affordable housing in the UK
An undersupply of housing, coupled with high property prices
relative to wages, continues to drive the need for affordable
and social housing in the UK. MAM has been financing the
UK’s affordable housing sector and local authorities, with
approximately £700 million invested in these sectors on behalf
of our clients over the past five years.
MAM recently completed a transaction that delivers
50 affordable homes for rent in south-east London.
In early 2021, CGM executed a market first power derivative by
entering into a virtual storage contract with Hydro Tasmania, one
of the largest owners and operators of hydro generation in the
east coast Australian power market. The transaction involved the
execution of a derivative designed to hedge hydro generation by
guaranteeing a minimum spread between the high and the low
spot prices on any given day in Victoria, Australia. Providing price
spread certainty for assets which can both discharge and recharge
in the market at their discretion, the transaction paves the way
for standardised instruments designed to hedge a broader class
of storage assets, be it pumped hydro or utility scale batteries,
unlocking further wind and solar development within the grid.
GIG is actively driving solutions for decarbonisation by
aggregating demand and capital to develop projects involving
hydrogen and other clean fuel technologies. For example, GIG,
together with gas network company SGN, have commissioned
an engineering consultancy to prepare a feasibility study for a
hydrogen super-hub in the Port of Southampton, UK.
MIRA raised more than €1.6 billion for investment in renewable
energy with the final close of Macquarie GIG Renewable Energy
Fund 2 (MGREF2), exceeding its target of €1 billion. MGREF2 will
invest in a diversified portfolio of assets including platforms and
construction and operational stage wind and solar projects in
Western Europe and other core markets. The fund’s contribution
to the low carbon transition was a key driver of investor interest
in the strategy, with many seeking exposure to assets that drive
positive environmental change.
The properties, which Beehive Affordable Homes acquired
with financing provided by MAM, are a mixture of sizes and
are located across the London Borough of Bromley and the
surrounding areas. The London Borough of Bromley has agreed
to rent the properties from Beehive Affordable Homes on a
long-term basis to help meet local affordable housing needs with
an option to acquire them for £1 at the end of the agreement.
Beehive Affordable Homes and MAM are exploring opportunities
to replicate the model across the country, working closely with
local authorities to help meet their affordable housing needs.

Adapting infrastructure for climate resilience
As a global leader in infrastructure and energy, supporting the
long-term climate resilience of our projects and businesses is
central to our approach to investment and asset management.
In January, Macquarie co-hosted a session on infrastructure
at the Climate Adaptation Summit organised by the Global
Commission on Adaptation, of which Macquarie CEO, Shemara
Wikramanayake, is a founding Commissioner.
Additionally, Macquarie is designing climate resilience into new
infrastructure and investing in operating procedure changes,
physical enhancements, and specialised resiliency features
to manage climate-related risks at our assets and those of
our clients.
Following a successful pilot, Macquarie’s UK Climate Investments
(UKCI) and its co-shareholders approved a £1.2 million investment
to install robotic waterless cleaning technology at the vehicle’s
Bhadla Solar park in Rajasthan. The technology will adapt
the plant, which is located in a water-stressed region, for
the expected future impacts of climate change. By reducing
the plant’s reliance on already scarce water, this innovative
technology will ensure that the solar farm continues to operate
efficiently whilst increasing the availability of water for use by
local communities and farmers.
In Australia, bushfires have long been a natural hazard and
can pose a significant danger to the environment, property
and people. MIRA is supporting Endeavour Energy in utilising
geospatial analysis from light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data,
to assess and quantify the risk of bushfires from vegetation
near its network. This enables a more targeted and efficient
vegetation maintenance program and as a result a more
proactive management of bushfire risk.
In Europe, Macquarie is supporting the resilience of major
infrastructure. MIRA is supporting Finland’s second largest
electricity network operator, Elenia, to bury 25,000km of its
power line network to protect it from more severe and frequent
weather events, while Macquarie Capital acted as sole financial
advisor and debt arranger to the Blankenburg Connection. The
project involves construction of a 950m-long immersed tunnel
below the Scheur River, which crosses the area’s main flood
protection dam. The team assists its construction partners
to meet strict legal requirements, reinforce existing flood
prevention infrastructure and ensure that the project will be able
to resist future water level rises.

Helping our clients on their decarbonisation pathways
Macquarie provides sustainability and decarbonisation solutions
for clients and assets. As part of MAM’s commitment to invest
and manage its portfolio in line with global net zero emissions
by 2040, a decarbonisation project was launched for Australian
portfolio companies which saw several of them establish their
baseline greenhouse gas emissions footprint and identify
initiatives to achieve sustained emissions reductions over time.
Endeavour Energy, for example, has identified an initiative with
the potential to reduce a significant portion of its scope 2
emissions which are largely due to line losses. The initiative would
involve the installation of Ecojoule Energy’s EcoVAR units that
would help regulate voltage swings on the network, thereby
lowering line losses and its carbon emissions footprint.
In late 2020, Macquarie arranged and executed the world’s first
major petroleum shipment for which greenhouse gas emissions
associated with the entire crude lifecycle were offset. The
delivery of two million barrels of carbon-neutral oil was arranged
for Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, LLC, a US-based international
energy company focused on advancing low-carbon technologies.
The bundling of high-quality carbon offsets with crude oil is
an immediately executable solution that Macquarie hopes
will catalyse a market for climate-differentiated commodities
and drive investments in longer-term, industrial-scale
decarbonisation strategies.
GIG has partnered with Siemens to launch Calibrant Energy,
a joint venture that offers comprehensive onsite Energy as a
Service (EaaS) solutions at no up-front cost for its customers.
Calibrant Energy offers a unique combination of technical,
operating, and risk management expertise that enables
customers to access the benefits of on-site energy systems with
a new level of simplicity. Calibrant’s on-site energy solutions seek
to deliver immediate cost savings, cost certainty, resilience and
low-cost energy grid augmentation. Calibrant’s technologies will
include solar, integrated solar-battery solutions, hybrid systems,
standalone batteries, microgrids, combined heat and power and
centralised heating and cooling infrastructure upgrades.
The Energy, Renewables and Sustainability (MERS) division within
CGM’s Specialised and Asset Finance business has deep expertise
across metering, distributed energy, zero emission mobility
and sustainable waste solutions. Supporting a major Australian
real estate trust, MERS developed a Solar Power Purchase
Agreement to design, install, and manage solar systems for a
number of retail shopping centres across Australia. Installations
commenced in December 2019 with the last site in the initial
tranche due to come online in mid-2021. The installed capacity
will total 2.8 MW in size, generating 4 GWh of zero-carbon,
renewable electricity and reducing the client’s carbon emissions
by approximately 2,800 tonnes per year. In addition to achieving
emission reduction targets, the solution is also significantly
reducing electricity costs compared to sourcing from traditional
energy retailers.
MERS has also delivered more than five million and funded over
ten million smart and advanced meters to date in the UK. The
roll-out of smart meters in the UK is a key enabler to a more
efficient energy system, allowing customers to reduce their
energy costs and emissions by managing their own energy
consumption. By working with partners, Macquarie provides an
end-to-end service solution for the provision, installation and
funding of smart gas and electricity meters – enabling smaller
suppliers to roll out this energy saving technology.

Sustainability in direct operations
Macquarie’s direct environmental and social impacts predominantly relate to the resources
we consume in our offices, data centres, business travel, and our procurement activity.
We seek to manage these impacts by monitoring and reducing resource use, maintaining
innovative and sustainable workplaces, maintaining carbon neutrality, and improving the
sustainability of our supply chain.
Macquarie’s 2025 Sustainability Plan articulates our corporate
sustainability commitments with specific and measurable
targets across environmental and social pillars.
virtual conferencing and collaboration tools and will
continue to encourage their use to help reduce the need
for business travel.
Emissions from energy use and business travel
This year, Macquarie’s absolute emissions decreased by 69%
from FY2020 attributed to a reduction in Scope 2 and 3
emissions. This is largely due to the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on our global office occupancy levels as well as
our business travel. Scope 1 emissions are not considered
to be material, comprising less than 2% of Macquarie’s total
operational emissions.(19)
FY2021 Scope 2 emissions reduced 26% from FY2020. While
this can be largely attributed to reduced occupancy levels
due to COVID-19, we have also continued our focus on energy
use in all Macquarie premises globally. This included retrofit
and new full fitout projects that have delivered more energy
efficient premises and our IT cloud transformation strategy
that enables rationalisation of servers.
Macquarie’s RE100 commitment is to source 100% of global
electricity from renewable power by FY2025. In FY2021, we
reached 34% of global electricity from renewable power, up
from 18% in FY2020. We expect to see a more significant
increase in FY2022 and FY2023.
Macquarie’s FY2021 Scope 3 emissions decreased by 99%
compared with FY2020 due to travel restrictions in place
since March 2020. In FY21, we adopted more sophisticated

Sustainable buildings
Macquarie’s corporate offices are fitted with water and
energy efficient fittings and fixtures and are continually
monitored for energy performance, environmental quality
and staff comfort. In FY2021, Macquarie’s Seoul office
achieved a LEED Gold rating for its fitout. Macquarie’s new
global headquarters, currently being developed in Sydney,
achieved a 6-Star Green Star Design rating. At the end of
FY2021, 69% of Macquarie staff occupied a sustainability
rated office.(20)
Carbon neutrality
Since 2010, Macquarie has maintained our carbon neutral
commitment by working to reduce and offset emissions.
In FY2021, to meet this commitment, Macquarie purchased
and retired a portfolio of Australian Carbon Credit Units
(ACCUs) and other voluntary carbon offsets that meet the
Verified Carbon Standard and Climate, Community and
Biodiversity Standard. The projects were selected based on
quality and verifiable emissions reductions. Supported by the
sale of carbon credits on international markets, they provide
solutions to reduce carbon emissions in each of the regions
in which Macquarie operates.

Resource efficiency
We continue to raise staff awareness and improve recycling
rates across our regional headquarters. In all major Sydney
offices and our London headquarters, we reached an average
recycling rate of 35%. Office closures and reduced occupancy
during FY2021 have impacted our waste data collection and
verification. This is scheduled to resume as our people return
to office.
In FY2021, paper use decreased by 82% compared to
FY2020 due to an increase in remote working. Paper use
data is collected across the majority of Macquarie’s offices,
representing approximately 90% of Macquarie staff. Managed
print has been implemented in 100% of Macquarie’s offices.
In FY2021, electronic signatures were enabled for our supplier
contracts. The environmental impacts of paper use are also
being addressed through an ongoing commitment to use
certified sustainable or recycled paper stock.
In FY2021, we initiated a review of global electronic waste
providers and introduced requirements for certifications to
ensure electronic waste is managed in a responsible manner.
Sustainable procurement
In FY2021, Macquarie continued to implement a risk-based
approach to environmental and social due diligence in
our supply chain. We refreshed Macquarie’s Principles for
Suppliers and published them in seven languages to better
enable Macquarie to engage across our supply chain. In
addition, Macquarie includes environmental and social risk
requirements within commercial agreements and
tender documents.
Over the last three years, over 1,300 strategic suppliers
responded to Macquarie’s ESG questionnaire developed to
assess their ESG credentials. We continued to communicate
our Principles for Suppliers and implemented an independent
risk-based assurance programme which involved an in-depth
assessment and onsite meetings with suppliers exposed to
high human rights risks based on country of operation and
service category.
Macquarie is committed to maintaining collaborative supplier
relationships. In FY2021, this included engaging with key
suppliers on the impacts of COVID-19 on their operations
and where possible, seeking mutually beneficial outcomes for
both parties. This involved, but was not limited to, extending
contracts, supporting suppliers during lockdowns and
ensuring COVID-19 impacts to workers were considered in the
independent assurance programme.
Macquarie’s approach towards identifying and mitigating the
risk of modern slavery within our supply chain and business
operations is set out in our Modern Slavery Transparency
Statement as described on page 55.
In FY2021, Macquarie spent over $A12 million with
minority-owned businesses in our tier one and two
supply chain.(22)
(22) Includes qualified businesses from traditionally under-represented groups such as companies owned and operated by minorities, women, Indigenous Australians and small business.
Tier 1 is defined as spend incurred via diverse suppliers directly contracted by Macquarie. Tier 2 is spend incurred via fourth parties meeting the diverse supplier definition, indirectly
supporting goods and services delivered to Macquarie.

Client experience
Clients are at the core of our business. They put their trust in Macquarie by choosing to
work with us, and we seek to maintain this trust by focussing on delivering exceptional client
experiences and outcomes.
Supporting clients in times of need
To build staff capability in responding to clients who may
be experiencing personal challenges, BFS has delivered
workshop training on dealing with difficult situations to all our
client facing people in the past year. We have also partnered
with an external outreach service provider offering holistic
support to referred clients.
Our response to COVID‑19
From the outset of the COVID-19 outbreak, Macquarie
responded quickly to implement a series of comprehensive
measures to support clients, partners and communities
impacted by the pandemic.
BFS delivered relief to impacted clients by implementing
a lending product payment pause, temporarily ceasing
collections activity, reducing rates on business loans and
participating in Early Release of Super and SME Guarantee
Scheme support initiatives by the Australian Government.
This was enabled by broad communication with our clients
and a focus on reducing manual processes though digitising
forms, removing manual signatures and improving secure
online self-service options for clients. BFS’ Agile practices
allowed our people to transition to remote working without
disruption to client service. Following these enhanced
support measures, most clients have now resumed
regular payments.
MAM continues to adapt its client engagement strategy
in response to the pandemic to ensure its clients remain
informed about the performance of their investments and
the broader investment landscape. Regular reporting for
the majority of MAM’s infrastructure and real asset funds
continued to be supplemented with additional briefing calls,
fund updates, direct engagement, thought leadership, and a
new regular webinar series. Key client engagement activities,
such as the Annual General Meetings for MAM’s flagship
strategies, were also held in a virtual format.
CGM’s businesses adapted to the changing environment by
supporting clients and looking for enhanced ways to help
clients restructure their businesses and rebalance their
portfolios. CGM worked closely with clients in the most
challenged sectors on their long-term resilience and response
to disruption. The Specialised and Asset Finance business
provided access to lending relief to over 30,000 SME clients
globally to help support business cash flows and sourced
computer equipment for North American educators.
Macquarie relies on building and maintaining enduring
relationships with our co-investors, corporate, institutional,
government and retail clients across all our businesses.
Client engagement
Our specialist teams engage with our clients through a
variety of channels including one-to-one contact, video and
online, knowledge-based conferences and events, and other
insight-based communications.
Macquarie Capital’s diverse mix of advisory, capital markets
and principal investing capabilities results in a broad array of
client and stakeholder interactions, ranging from close and
collaborative relationships with partners and co-investors
to more intermittent and transaction-focused contact. The
team regularly collates formal and informal feedback to
help us evaluate the strength of our client relationships and
identify opportunities for improvement and innovation.
CGM is a client focused business, concentrating on deepening
relationships through a continued understanding of our
clients’ changing needs. We regularly engage clients to seek
feedback and gain insights with the intention of adapting our
offering where required. An example of this is the outreach
program initiated in May 2020, when CGM undertook a series
of conversations with clients to understand their experiences
during COVID-19, bringing the voice of the clients to CGM’s
strategy development.
To deliver an enhanced client experience and drive further
collaboration, MAM reorganised its business into four global
divisions and announced its intention to transition to a single
MAM brand. These changes will enable MAM’s integrated
client solutions team to further simplify how its suite of
alternatives, equities, and fixed income capabilities are
presented to clients. MAM’s operations, technology, and data
teams were also brought together, with the new function
providing greater global coordination to ongoing investments
designed to enhance the client experience.
Macquarie’s Banking and Financial Services (BFS) business
uses client insights to prioritise new initiatives and shape
how we deliver products and services. For example, BFS has
embedded Human Centred Design (HCD) and proactively
measures customer advocacy at specific interaction points
to understand the experience clients have with Macquarie.
Combined with other insights, BFS then makes data based
decisions to ensure we are building the right experiences
for clients.
This year we have rolled out online cultural competency
training for some client-facing people in BFS across
Australia. The program, which was developed by an
Australian Indigenous business specialising in cultural
competency training, is designed to introduce participants
to Indigenous people, culture and history while providing
practical knowledge and skills to work more effectively with
Indigenous people.
66
Environmental, Social and GovernanceContinued Macquarie Capital has also been providing expertise, advice
and capital solutions to help our clients and partners to
navigate COVID-19 and the related market disruption – from
strategic advisory and capital raising to supporting our
clients’ continued growth and transformation in key sectors
reshaped by COVID-19, such as healthcare and education. In
addition to adapting to the pandemic, some of our portfolio
companies are also directly contributing to the fight against
COVID-19, from vessels delivering essential supplies and
supporting hospital ships to our online education companies
providing free access to millions of children during the
height of the pandemic. In the US, Macquarie Capital’s
portfolio company Dovel Technologies directly participated
in government research initiatives to fight COVID-19 through
its support of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It also
ran one of the US government’s grants programs which
helped to deliver billions of emergency dollars to citizens and
organisations in need.
Fair and efficient resolution of issues
Reflecting our commitment to our clients, Macquarie Bank
Limited subscribes to the Australian Banking Association 2019
Banking Code of Practice.
Macquarie has a robust complaint management framework
across our retail banking business to ensure client complaints
are resolved quickly and fairly. BFS teams analyse complaint
data to understand the root causes of complaints so they
can be addressed at their source, with oversight from
senior management. In FY2021, 97% of BFS complaints
were resolved within five business days, up from 91% in the
previous year.
Macquarie’s Customer Advocate is independent of the
operating, risk and support groups including our internal
dispute resolution teams and reports directly to the CEO.
The Customer Advocate’s role is to:
• promote fair and reasonable customer
complaint outcomes
• minimise the risk of future problems by reviewing key
customer themes and new product approvals to identify
opportunities to enhance products, services, systems
and processes
• provide a customer-centric voice when making
recommendations to improve customer experience.

People and workplace
Macquarie recognises that our most important assets are our people. We recruit talented
individuals and encourage them to realise their potential in an environment that values
excellence, innovation and creativity. By supporting their development and wellbeing, we
ensure Macquarie continues to meet the highest standards and serves the evolving needs
of our stakeholders.
Leadership, talent and culture
In FY2021, an initiative to review and reconsider Macquarie’s
purpose statement was undertaken. Over an 11-week
period, 800+ staff shared perspectives to inform this
refreshed purpose. Following this extensive consultation,
Macquarie’s revised purpose statement was articulated,
endorsed by the CEO, the Executive Committee and Board,
and launched during the 2020 Annual Staff Meetings. The
new purpose, ‘Empowering people to innovate and invest
for a better future’, has now been embedded throughout
the organisation, and feedback from staff has shown that it
resonates with and inspires our people.
Macquarie is continuously building a culture of high
performing talent by developing our people. We focus on
our leaders and their leadership impact as they are our
culture carriers. They set the tone for our people and directly
influence the way people think and act. We seek to attract
the right talent and develop our people to reach their full
potential in order to deliver measurable business outcomes
that benefit our clients, our shareholders and our people.
86%
of Macquarie’s 325 Executive Directors are
currently completing or have completed the
Macquarie Executive Director Leadership
Program (EDLP)
The EDLP builds the capability of leaders to better
understand their impact and to inspire and develop others.
It also equips them to address the pace and complexity of
change and to cultivate and support a culture of innovation.
While the ongoing delivery of EDLP was paused for the
majority of 2020 due to the impact of the pandemic, delivery
has continued in a virtual format in 2021.
To meet the evolving needs of our leaders, a new series
of virtual Masterclasses was launched in FY2021. The
Masterclasses focus on equipping our Executive Directors with
the skills and tools needed to navigate the opportunities and
challenges associated with leading through COVID-19. A series
of complementary virtual Masterclasses was subsequently
launched for our Division and Associate Directors.
244 attendees across the six Masterclasses offered
to Executive Directors in FY2021, and
1,725
attendees across the four Masterclasses
offered to Associate and Division
Directors in FY2021
Following a FY2020 project analysing the attributes and
experiences required by our future leaders, the new
Macquarie Leadership Standards were launched in FY2021.
These Standards were developed based on extensive
research and incorporated feedback from our people, our
Executive Directors, Macquarie’s Board and our Executive
Committee. These Standards provide greater consistency
and transparency in our expectations of Executive Directors
and have been adopted as the new criteria for Executive
Director promotions.
For the broader organisation, Macquarie supports the career
development of its people through a number of manager and
strategic leadership programs and investment in executive
coaching and mentoring initiatives.
Learning opportunities are provided to all staff, to meet the
needs of Macquarie’s diverse talent base and to provide the
workforce with the skills to realise future opportunities in
a rapidly changing environment. Development areas range
across both professional and personal skillsets including
self-awareness and leadership impact, wellbeing, cultivating
environments of inclusion, innovation, technical mastery and
effective collaboration to identify opportunities and support
each other.
The global pandemic and the rapid move to remote working
has accelerated the use of technology to deliver virtual
classroom learning. Our Learning and Development teams
were able to offer over 119 courses in a new virtual format in
FY2021. This was achieved through the onboarding of new
suppliers and the conversion of existing course content to
virtual formats, which provided a more accessible learning
and development experience for our staff.
2,428 learning events in FY2021(23), with

During the employee onboarding and orientation process,
Macquarie offers a series of learning and development
activities (including events hosted by the CEO) designed
to communicate and embed the Macquarie culture and
reinforce the ongoing importance of meeting behavioural
expectations and effective risk management across all our
businesses and regions. Globally, over 2,000 staff completed

Goal setting, providing ongoing feedback, and having regular
performance and career development discussions are a key
part of performance measurement and talent management
at Macquarie. In addition to providing regular feedback
throughout the year, Macquarie requires all staff to have at
least one formal Year in Review, or appraisal session, with
their manager.
Workplace health, safety and wellbeing
Macquarie recognises the value of effective WHS
performance as an integral part of how we successfully
manage our business. We seek to operate zero harm
environments through maintaining high WHS standards and
performance across all our activities globally. We promote
an integrated approach to safety and wellbeing matters and
encourage our staff to speak up on any actual or potential
health and safety issues, including matters relating to
inappropriate behaviour such as sexual harassment or other
form of harassment, discrimination, bullying or victimisation.
Our recently updated WHS vision seeks to build and promote
safe workplaces which enable and empower people to
do their best work. This commitment is underpinned by
a comprehensive safety framework built around culture
and leadership, governance, and assurance. Staff are
provided with training and resources to promote positive
safety practices. Staff consultation forums inform the
implementation and effectiveness of these policies, systems,
and risk controls.
0.2 Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR)
in the year ended 31 March 2021(24)
The safety and wellbeing of our people remains at the
centre of our response to COVID-19. Through our security
operations we continuously monitor and assess changes
in government regulations to inform decision-making. Our
Crisis Management Teams evaluates local health information
and legal and regulatory obligations to ensure our policies
and practices remain compliant. Our people are informed
of our safety requirements through staff briefings and
office-specific communications.
In response to the external changing environment, we offer
financial support to all staff for ergonomic office chairs and
technology peripherals to enhance their remote working
environment. We provide resources to assist people leaders
to manage remote working teams. Additional online training
provides staff with education on “Work Health and Safety
While Working from Home”, including strategies to support
both physical and mental wellbeing.
Macquarie’s holistic wellbeing program, Macquarie Plus,
provides a comprehensive range of initiatives and benefits
designed to equip our people with the tools and resources
to own their wellbeing. The delivery of wellbeing initiatives
pivoted to provide equitable opportunity to staff, with
the program maintaining its focus through digitalised and
in person content allowing for flexible engagement. With
a strong focus on encouraging our people to balance
all aspects of their lives. Macquarie Plus comprises
four key elements:
• People: providing our people with access to a range of
benefits and initiatives designed to support their physical,
psychological and financial wellbeing through educational
seminars, health screening, fitness classes and access
to psychological support services
• Lifestyle: encouraging our people to make the most of the
rewarding and inclusive culture at Macquarie, and helping
them to integrate life and work, through initiatives from
community groups through to networking events and
school holiday programs
• Tools: promoting technology platforms to enable our
people to tap into wellbeing information regardless of
location or time of day
• Space: designing places that are not only flexible and
sustainable, but that also encourage collaboration and
connection and offer our people choice in how they work.

Diversity & Inclusion
Macquarie’s ongoing commitment to workforce Diversity
& Inclusion ensures that our business remains innovative
and sustainable and continues to meet the evolving needs
of our clients.

Business conduct and ethics
Macquarie’s organisational culture drives the way we do business and our expectations
of our staff are outlined in the Code of Conduct. Our approach is based on three long-held
principles: Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity.
Political engagement and public policy
Macquarie believes we need to be engaged and understand
the evolving policy, political and regulatory environments in
Australia and other jurisdictions in which we operate, as these
factors impact our business as well as our clients’ businesses.
As a listed financial institution operating in highly regulated
sectors, we have a responsibility to our shareholders, clients,
counterparties and employees to understand and contribute
to public policy and to ensure that our organisation and
operating environments are well understood by
parliamentarians and policy makers. Additionally, our clients,
many of whom also operate in regulated sectors, expect us
to have detailed current knowledge of public policy issues and
drivers when we provide advice and services to them.
Macquarie contributes to public policy in the markets in
which we operate in the following ways:
• making submissions to industry consultation processes
and inquiries, where appropriate. These may be processes
established by parliaments, government departments or
government agencies such as regulators. Submissions may
be made by Macquarie directly or as part of a broader
industry group
• participating in government and other policy advisory
panels when invited to do so, and where we can make a
differentiated contribution based on our expertise
• engaging with parliamentarians and policy-makers
through avenues such as formal meetings, attending
events, speaking in public forums and appearing before
parliamentary inquiries where appropriate
• contributing to the advocacy work done by industry
groups in key markets around the world. Given the
diversity of Macquarie’s business activities, we are
members of industry groups representing sectors such as
financial services and markets, infrastructure, energy as
well as general business peak bodies.
In Australia, political parties are funded by a mix of public and
private monies. As part of its engagement with the Australian
political process, Macquarie provides financial support to the
major political parties, primarily through paid attendance
at events.
Macquarie has a full disclosure policy and declares all
monies paid to political parties to the Australian Electoral
Commission (AEC) regardless of any thresholds or other
provisions that may otherwise limit the need to disclose.
This disclosure is made by way of an annual AEC return on
a 1 July to 30 June basis and is published by the AEC in the
February following the end of the disclosure year.
Macquarie’s revised purpose ‘Empowering people to innovate
and invest for a better future’ represents why we exist
and what we do. We believe that by empowering people
– our colleagues, clients, communities, shareholders and
partners – we will achieve our shared potential.
Macquarie’s Risk Culture and Conduct team is responsible
for developing and maintaining frameworks for risk culture
and conduct risk, and monitoring and reporting on the
implementation of those frameworks across Macquarie.
As part of their role, the team:
• assesses the risk culture across the group and provides
oversight of its alignment to Board expectations
• challenges and advises Macquarie teams on how to
enhance risk culture maturity
• assesses, challenges and advises on the effective
identification, evaluation, and management of
conduct risk.
Macquarie’s Integrity Office provides an internally
independent and confidential point of contact for Macquarie
staff and external parties to safely raise concerns about
improper conduct. It is responsible for implementing the
Whistleblower Policy and for managing the investigation
of concerns raised under this policy, including any raised
through the Macquarie Staff Hotline. The Integrity Office
reports to the Macquarie CEO and provides regular reports
to the BGCC.
The Integrity Office also promotes high ethical standards
and good decision-making through communications and
engagement with staff.
Information on our risk culture and approach to
conduct risk is provided in the Risk Management
section of this Annual Report
Tax transparency
Macquarie acknowledges stakeholder expectations for
increased transparency on tax-related matters. Macquarie
is a signatory to the Australian Board of Taxation’s voluntary
Tax Transparency Code.
More detailed information on Macquarie’s
approach to tax transparency is available at
macquarie.com/fy21‑tax‑transparency

Environmental, Social and GovernanceContinued In the year ended 30 June 2020, Macquarie’s political
contributions in Australia totalled $A251,230 comprising:
$A127,680 to the Liberal Party of Australia; $A112,550 to the
Australian Labor Party; and $A11,000 to the National Party.
Contributions were to meet the costs of memberships of
political party business forums, attendance at events and
party conference corporate days, and sponsorship of events.
Macquarie did not make any direct donations.
It is not Macquarie’s practice to contribute monies to political
parties in other jurisdictions.
Data privacy and security
Whenever we handle personal information, we take steps
to ensure appropriate standards of privacy practice and
security are applied.

Macquarie Group Foundation
The Macquarie Group Foundation (the Foundation) is the philanthropic arm of Macquarie.
The Foundation encourages Macquarie employees to give back to the communities in
which they live and work by contributing service, financial support and leadership to the
community organisations they feel passionately about.

During an unprecedented year, Macquarie employees and
the Foundation responded with empathy and generosity.
In FY2021 $A64 million(3) was contributed to over 2,400
non-profit organisations around the world by Macquarie
employees and the Foundation, making this a record year.
Through donations and fundraising efforts by employees and
matching by the Foundation, together with the Foundation’s
annual grant-making program, over $A475 million(1) has been
contributed to thousands of community organisations
around the world since inception.
The Foundation’s focus on the communities where Macquarie
employees live and work enables a better understanding of
local needs, and helps to leverage employees time, expertise
and networks for greater social impact. In FY2021 employees
continued to volunteer their time in a variety of ways,
including pro bono work and board positions.
Many employees provide their time and skills to non-profit
organisations aligned to the Foundation’s global grant-making
focus area of supporting social and economic opportunities
for young people.
By pivoting towards virtual volunteering throughout
FY2021, Macquarie employees continue to be highly
engaged in global initiatives such as Foundation Week, as
well as regional initiatives including Mentoring Week in the
Americas, Community Day in Asia, Australian Business and
Community Network (ABCN) programs in ANZ and Social Mobility
Week in EMEA.
During the sixth annual Foundation Week – a campaign
where non-profits receive bonus matching of amounts raised
up to $A5,000 by Macquarie teams – more than $A5.4 million
was distributed to over 208 non-profit organisations around
the world. Employees organised more than 230 events
across 41 Macquarie offices, many of which supported
Foundation grant partners. By hosting 85% of events virtually,
Macquarie employees ensured the non-profit organisations
they’re passionate about still received the support they needed.

Responding to crisis
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Macquarie Group
announced an allocation of $A20 million to the Foundation
to make donations to a number of organisations working to
combat the disease and provide relief from its impacts. The
Foundation has focused on recipients addressing areas of
immediate and medium-term need.
To date $A17.7 million in total has been allocated to
36 organisations. $A2 million has been allocated to two
Australian research projects, $A7.2 million has been allocated
across 24 non-profits internationally that focused on direct
relief efforts and most recently $A8.5 million has been
allocated to 10 organisations that are supporting workers
and businesses in restarting economic activity.
For example, through funding received from the COVID-19
donation fund, edX created the ‘Macquarie Scholarship
Program’ for economic recovery by supporting online learning
courses and programs for low-income and under-represented
groups of learners. Economic recovery grants have also been
allocated to organisations including Local Initiatives Support
Corporation (LISC) in the Americas, Regional Opportunities
Australia in ANZ, Investing in Women in Asia and the London
Community Response Fund in EMEA.
Alongside the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 also saw a
heightened focus on societal inequalities, with particular
action demanded on longstanding racial injustice in the
United States and around the world. As part of Macquarie’s
response, the Macquarie Americas Management Committee
partnered with the Foundation to create the Racial Equity
Fund. The Fund supports community groups working on
solutions towards racial equity, with a working group of
Macquarie employees engaged in nominating potential
recipients as well as educating and engaging employees on
the issue.
One organisation supported through the Racial Equity Fund
is the Robin Hood Foundation. Macquarie’s funding supports
Robin Hood’s Power Fund, an initiative to fund and elevate
non-profit leaders of colour working to increase economic
mobility for New Yorkers living in poverty.
(1) Since inception in 1985.
(2) In the 12 months to 31 March 2021.
(3) Contribution figures comprise Macquarie employees’ donations and fundraising; Foundation matching support for employees’ donations and fundraising; Foundation donations
to commemorate employees attaining 10-year and 25-year anniversaries at Macquarie; Foundation grants to non-profit organisations to recognise 12 months of board service by a
Macquarie employee; and Macquarie and Foundation grants to community organisations (including COVID-19 donation fund and Year 2 donations for the 50th Anniversary Award) in
the 12 months to 31 March 2021.

Macquarie Sports
In FY2021, Macquarie Sports clinics were heavily impacted
by the pandemic, and responded with two key initiatives.
Macquarie Sports extended 2020 funding to 31 March 2021
to allow an extra three months for sporting partners to get
through the COVID-19 restrictions, restart their programs and
utilise the funding provided to them.
Macquarie Sports also redeployed funding to selected
sporting partners to enable them to enhance an existing
program or commence a new program.
Macquarie employees selected Wheelchair Sports NSW/
ACT to receive a $A25,000 grant to deliver a second
annual residential Junior Wheelies Camp. The Macquarie
Sports Advisory Committee also selected a further two
organisations to receive $A25,000 each: Sportwell’s
Hydrothon All-Female Surf Sports Clinics (focused on
bushfire-affected surf clubs on the far south coast of NSW)
and Water Polo NSW’s Girls Making Waves program (focused
on regional communities).
In early 2021 many Macquarie Sport clinics have resumed
with appropriate COVID-19 safe protocols in place.

Macquarie Group Collection
For the first time the Macquarie Group Collection’s (the
Collection’s) ninth annual 2020 Macquarie Group Emerging
Artist Prize and Exhibition was held virtually. In order to
support more emerging artists during these challenging
times, eight artists were selected as winners. This year saw
a record number of submissions, attendance at the launch
event and social media activity.
The Collection also supported the Indigenous Art Code’s ‘Our
Art Is Our Lifeline’ national media campaign, which aimed to
support the Indigenous art industry through the global crisis
and promote fair and ethical trading.
The Collection has been supporting emerging Australian
artists for over 30 years by acquiring and displaying their
works in Macquarie offices around the world. The Collection
features art in all media, around the theme The Land and its
Psyche, reflecting the diversity of the Australian landscape
as seen through the eyes of its artists. Now comprising
more than 850 works selected by a volunteer committee of
Macquarie employees and a curatorial expert, the Collection
is on display in around 40 Macquarie offices worldwide.

Grant‑making focus for social impact
The Foundation’s global grant-making focus area of supporting
social and economic opportunities for young people in the
communities where employees live and work now represents
the majority of the global granting budget. With this focus,
the Foundation aims to maximise its social impact, using not
only its financial resources but also the skills and networks
of Macquarie employees.
Many of the grant partner organisations engage Macquarie
employees through mentoring, career development and
employability programs. These organisations include the
Double Discovery Center at Columbia University in the
Americas, Raise Mentoring in ANZ, Asha India Foundation in
Asia and Dallaglio RugbyWorks in EMEA.
Throughout FY2021, the Foundation provided flexible funding
arrangements and access to additional funding to enable
grant partners respond to the challenges of the pandemic.
Macquarie 50th Anniversary Award
In August 2019, Macquarie announced the five winners of
the Macquarie 50th Anniversary Award to each receive
$A10 million over a five year period to drive social change
through bold projects: Last Mile Health, Monash University’s
World Mosquito Program, Murdoch Children’s Research
Institute World Scabies Program, Social Finance and The
Ocean Cleanup.
Throughout FY2021, the five winners adapted to these
challenging times and continued to progress their projects.
For example, Last Mile Health, a national health assistance
program in Liberia, was able to deploy over 3,800 frontline
health workers and served more than 770,000 people since
2019 whilst also assisting with the local COVID-19 response in
Malawi and Ethiopia. The Ocean Cleanup, working to rid the
world’s oceans of plastic, successfully launched a new River
Interceptor in the Dominican Republic stemming the flow of
plastic before it gets out to sea.
Over 70 Macquarie employees from around the world
volunteered to join the Macquarie 50th Anniversary Award
Ambassador Network this year, putting their hand up to work
alongside these organisations and drive key initiatives.

Risk Management
Risk governance at Macquarie
Risk management framework
Role of the Board
The role of the Board is to promote the long-term interests
of Macquarie, taking into account Macquarie’s specific and
broader responsibilities to its shareholders, funders, clients,
staff and the communities in which it operates. The Board
is committed to oversight of Macquarie’s performance, risk
management, engagement with regulators and culture and
to promoting the creation of enduring value by realising
opportunities for the benefit of our clients, community,
shareholders and our people. Macquarie’s robust risk
management framework supports the Board in its role.
The Board is ultimately responsible for the framework,
including oversight of its operation by Management.
Role of Management
The Group Heads of the Operating and Central Service
Groups are responsible for the implementation of the risk
management framework in their groups. They are required
semi-annually to attest that key risks have been identified
and are adequately controlled in their groups. These
management representations support the sign-off of the
half-year and the full-year financial statements.
Three lines of defence
Macquarie’s approach to risk management adopts the
‘three lines of defence’ model in which risk ownership
responsibilities are functionally independent from oversight
and assurance:
• primary responsibility for risk management lies with
the business. The risk owner is the first line of defence.
An important part of the role of all staff throughout
Macquarie is to ensure they manage risks appropriately
• the Risk Management Group (RMG) forms the second line
of defence and provides independent and objective review
and challenge, oversight, monitoring and reporting in
relation to Macquarie’s material risks
• Internal Audit, as the third line, provides independent
and objective risk-based assurance on the compliance
with, and effectiveness of, Macquarie’s financial and risk
management framework.
Overview
Macquarie’s risk management framework is the totality of
systems, structures, policies, processes and people within
Macquarie that identify, measure, monitor, report and
control or mitigate internal and external sources of material
risk. Material risks are those that could have a material
impact, financial or non-financial on Macquarie. Macquarie’s
material risks include aggregate, asset, conduct, credit,
environmental and social (including climate change), equity,
financial crime, legal, liquidity, market, operational (including
cyber and information security), regulatory and compliance,
reputational, strategic, tax, and work health and safety risks.
The risk management framework applies to all Operating and
Central Service Groups.
Details about the risks we manage are available at
macquarie.com/risk‑management
Key components
Core risk management principles
Macquarie’s approach to risk management is based on stable
and robust core risk management principles. These are:
• ownership of risk at the business level: Group Heads
are responsible for ownership of all material risks that
arise in, or because of, the business’ operations, including
identification, measurement, control and mitigation of
these risks. Before taking decisions, clear analysis of the
risks is sought to ensure those taken are consistent with
the risk appetite and strategy of Macquarie
• understanding worst‑case outcomes: Macquarie’s
risk management approach is based on examining the
consequences of worst-case outcomes and determining
whether these are acceptable and within Macquarie’s risk
appetite. This approach is adopted for all material risk
types and is often achieved by stress testing. Macquarie
operates a number of sophisticated quantitative
risk management processes, but the foundation of
the approach is the informed consideration of both
quantitative and qualitative inputs by highly
experienced professionals
• requirement for an independent sign‑off by RMG:
Macquarie places significant importance on having a
strong, independent risk management function charged
with signing off all material risk acceptance decisions. It is
essential that RMG has the capability to do this effectively.
RMG has invested in recruiting skilled professionals from
a range of disciplines, including those with trading or
advisory and capital markets experience. For all material
proposals, RMG’s opinion must be sought at an early
stage in the decision-making process. The approval
document submitted to Senior Management must include
independent input from RMG on risk and return.
76
Risk Management Group
RMG, which forms the second line of defence, is an
independent and centralised function responsible for
independent and objective review and challenge, oversight,
monitoring and reporting in relation to Macquarie’s material
risks. RMG designs and oversees the implementation of
the risk management framework. RMG is structured into
specialist functional divisions, depicted below, and employs
an integrated approach to risk analysis and management
across risk classes. RMG’s assessment and monitoring of risks
involves a collaborative effort across the divisions to ensure
a detailed analysis takes place both at the individual and
aggregate risk level.
RMG’s oversight of risk is based on the following
five principles:
• Independence: RMG is independent of Macquarie’s
Operating and Central Service Groups. The Head of RMG,
as Macquarie’s CRO, reports directly to the CEO with
a secondary reporting line to the BRiC. RMG approval
is required for all material risk acceptance decisions
• Centralised risk management: RMG’s responsibility
covers the whole of Macquarie. It assesses risks from
a Macquarie-wide perspective and provides a consistent
approach across Macquarie
• Approval of all new business activities: The Operating
and Central Service Groups cannot undertake new
businesses or activities, offer new products, enter new
markets, or undertake significant projects without first
consulting RMG. RMG reviews and assesses risk and sets
limits. Where appropriate, these limits are approved by the
Executive Committees and the Board
• Continuous assessment: RMG continually reviews risks
to account for changes in market circumstances and
developments within Macquarie’s business
• Frequent monitoring and reporting: The risk profile of
Macquarie with respect to all material risks is monitored
by RMG on an ongoing basis. Centralised systems exist to
allow RMG to monitor financial risks daily. Reporting on
all material risks is provided to Senior Management and
the Board.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Internal audit
The Internal Audit Division, as the third line, provides
independent and objective risk-based assurance to the
Board Audit Committee (BAC), other Board Committees
and Senior Management on the compliance with, and
effectiveness of, Macquarie’s financial and risk management
framework, including its governance, systems, structures,
policies, processes and people for managing material
risks. Internal Audit assesses whether material risks have
been properly identified by management and key internal
controls have been properly designed and are operating
effectively and sustainably to mitigate those material risks.
The BAC has primary power of direction over the Internal
Audit Division and is accountable for reviewing the
effectiveness of the Internal Audit function. The Head
of Internal Audit reports functionally to the BAC and is
primarily accountable to them. The Head of Internal Audit
has unrestricted access to the Committee and its Chair and
meets privately with the BAC members regularly during the
year. The BAC monitors and reviews the performance, degree
of independence and remuneration of the Head of Internal
Audit. The BAC also approves any appointment and removal
of the Head of Internal Audit. The Head of Internal Audit
reports operationally to the CRO for day-to-day management.

Risk Management
Continued
Risk appetite management
Macquarie’s risk appetite, being the nature and amount of risk
that Macquarie is willing to accept in pursuit of an appropriate
and resilient long-term return on its capital is detailed in the
Board-approved Risk Appetite Statement (RAS). The RAS
states transactions must generate returns proportionate to
the risks. Accordingly, a risk and return analysis is required for
all significant new deals, products and businesses.
The RAS is accessible to all staff and is referred to in the
Code of Conduct. The principles of the RAS are implemented
primarily through the following mechanisms:
Risk tolerances
Risk tolerances have been established to ensure that we only
accept risks that are consistent with our risk appetite.
Financial risks
Limits translate risk appetite principles into hard constraints,
being the Global Risk Limit that constrains Macquarie’s
aggregate level of risk as well as granular limits for specific
financial risks.
Macquarie sets the Global Risk Limit with reference not only
to capital but also to earnings so that in a prolonged, severe
downturn, earnings and surplus capital are sufficient to cover
losses and maintain market confidence in Macquarie. The
potential financial impact of a non-financial risk event is also
included in the Global Risk Limit.
Macquarie operates under a strict principle of ‘no limits, no
dealing’. Compliance with specific limits is monitored by the
business and RMG. These granular limits are set to allow the
Businesses to achieve their near-term plans while promoting
a reassessment of the opportunity and associated risks as
the limit is approached.
Non‑financial risks
We seek the highest standards in addressing non-financial
risks. Macquarie monitors and reports on a range of metrics
for non-financial risks that provide a measure of our risk
profile for these risks.
These metrics provide a basis for analysis and
communication of risk, for forcing explicit consideration of
the risk profile, raising awareness of risks and facilitating
debate and actions in relation to potential future risks.
Further explanation on Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) and Work Health and Safety
risks in particular is set out in the ESG section of
this report.
Policies
Policies are key tools for ensuring that risks taken are
consistent with Macquarie’s risk appetite. They are designed
to influence and determine all major decisions and actions,
and all activities must take place within the boundaries
set by them.
New product and business approval process
All new businesses and significant changes to existing
products, processes or systems are subject to a rigorous,
78
interactive approval process that adheres to the principles
stated in the RAS. This results in constructive dialogue on
risk matters between RMG and the relevant business.
This formal process is designed so that the proposed
transaction or operation can be managed. All relevant risks
are reviewed to ensure they are identified and addressed
prior to implementation. These risks are also monitored on an
ongoing basis. The approvals of RMG, Financial Management
Group, Legal and Governance and other relevant
stakeholders within Macquarie are obtained. RMG also checks
that all necessary internal approvals are obtained prior to
commencement.
Stress testing
Stress testing is an integral component of Macquarie’s risk
management framework and a key input to the capital
adequacy assessment process. Stress testing incorporates
enterprise-wide scenario analyses in which losses and capital
are driven by the chosen economic parameters of a scenario.
The scenarios as well as their economic parameters are
tailored to Macquarie’s portfolio.
Stress testing is used to validate that Macquarie’s capital
targets and associated triggers remain appropriate given the
risk profile of the portfolio. It is also used to identify areas of
potential concentration in Macquarie’s portfolio as well as
being a key measure of aggregate risk appetite, calibrated to
Macquarie’s ability to withstand severe stress.
Risk culture
A sound risk culture has been integral to Macquarie’s
risk management framework since inception. Primary
responsibility for risk management in Macquarie, including
risk culture, is at the business level. The Board, assisted by the
BRiC, is responsible for:
• reviewing, endorsing and monitoring Macquarie’s approach
to risk culture and conduct
• forming a view on Macquarie’s risk culture and the extent
to which it supports the ability of Macquarie to operate
consistently within its risk appetite.
Macquarie’s approach to maintaining an appropriate risk
culture is based on three components:
Setting behavioural expectations
Senior Management, with oversight from the Board, set
behavioural expectations. The way we fulfil Macquarie’s
purpose is defined by our principles of What We Stand
For: Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity. Staff are
made aware that these principles must form the basis of all
behaviours and actions. These behavioural expectations are
specified in the Board approved Code of Conduct, which is
actively promoted by Management and cascaded through
the organisation.
Leading and executing
Management implements behavioural expectations through:
• leadership actions and communication
• organisational governance
• incentives and consequence management
• organisational and individual capability.
Monitoring, measuring and reporting
Macquarie monitors and measures its risk culture to gauge
effectiveness while promoting continuous improvement.
Mechanisms include:
• reports incorporating behavioural elements (such as
policy and limit breaches) are prepared by all Operating
and Central Service Groups, including reports prepared by
RMG, HR and Macquarie’s Integrity Office and escalated,
where relevant, according to our governance framework.
These include regular reports relating to risk culture that
are provided to Senior Management and the Board
• the Risk Culture team in RMG Behavioural Risk uses a
well-developed assessment process, governed by the Risk
Culture Framework. The team undertakes independent
risk culture reviews across the Operating and Central
Service Groups to assess the relative strengths and areas
for development within a business or function.
These mechanisms facilitate a feedback loop of sharing good
practice and lessons learned to enable cultural alignment.
Remuneration and consequence management
Macquarie’s remuneration framework and consequence
management process are designed to promote
accountability, encourage innovation, reward appropriate
behaviours and discourage inappropriate behaviours.
Effective consequence management is a key component
of Macquarie’s risk culture. Macquarie aims to apply
consequences for non-compliance in a timely manner, and as
fairly and consistently as possible.
See the Remuneration Report for more details
on Macquarie’s remuneration framework and
consequence management process
Conduct risk
Macquarie defines conduct risk as the risk of behaviour,
action or omission by individuals employed by, or on
behalf of, Macquarie or taken collectively in representing
Macquarie that may have a negative outcome for our clients,
counterparties, the communities and markets in which we
operate, our staff, or Macquarie.
Such behaviour, actions or omissions may include:
• breaches of laws or regulations
• disregard for Macquarie’s principles of What We Stand For
or the Code of Conduct
• negligence and/or a lack of reasonable care and diligence
• failure to escalate improper conduct.
Conduct risk can arise inadvertently or deliberately in any
of Macquarie’s Operating and Central Service Groups.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Macquarie’s approach to conduct risk management is
integrated in our risk management framework and is
consistent with our three lines of defence model. Risk-taking
must be consistent with Macquarie’s principles of What We
Stand For: Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity which
must form the basis of all behaviours and actions. These
behavioural expectations are outlined in the Board approved
Code of Conduct.
Macquarie has a range of controls and processes in place
to identify and manage conduct risk, including:
• new and emerging conduct risks are identified through
the annual strategy and business planning process
• conduct risks that may arise when Macquarie establishes
a new business or product, or makes a significant change
to an existing business, product, process or system are
identified and assessed through the new business and
product approval process
• independent monitoring and surveillance conducted
by RMG, in addition to front line supervisory activities
performed by the business
• the Risk and Control Self-assessment incorporates
a conduct risk lens, requiring businesses to identify
and assess their key conduct risks
• where incidents occur, we investigate the underlying
contributing behaviours and record where they are the
root cause of the incident
• performance-based remuneration reflects an
individual’s performance, which includes assessment
of a range of factors including risk management and
behavioural measures
• an Integrity Office that is an independent point of contact
for staff to safely raise concerns about misconduct,
unethical behaviour or breaches of the Code of Conduct
• a global Staff Hotline for staff who wish to speak
up anonymously.

Market and credit risk
Year end performance indicators
Macquarie monitors and measures a range of risks as outlined above in the risk management framework overview. The
following graphs provide historical and current year information on key market and credit risks.
Trading revenue
The effectiveness of Macquarie’s risk management framework can be partially measured by Macquarie’s daily trading results.
These are daily profit and loss results that are directly attributable to market-based activity from Macquarie’s trading desks.
Macquarie’s market risk activities continue to be based on earning income from client-facing businesses. The majority of trading
income is derived from client activities rather than outright proprietary trading activity.
Macquarie’s trading results over time have shown consistent profits and low volatility. This is evident in the graph below and
reflects the client-based nature of trading activities. In FY2021 Macquarie made a net trading profit on 240 out of 261 trading
days (2020 results: 208 out of 262 trading days) and trading loss profiles were consistent with previous years.

Value at Risk (VaR)
VaR provides a statistically based summary of overall market risk in Macquarie. The magnitude of VaR reflects changes in
positions as well as changes in market volatility, correlations and enhancements to the model. The integrity of the VaR model is
regularly tested against daily profit and loss.
Macquarie’s market risk remained in line with the previous year, driven by higher market volatility along with commodity
exposure driven by oil and gas activity. VaR reached a maximum towards the end of the year as a result of the extreme cold
weather in the US. VaR remains modest in comparison to capital and earnings, representing less than 0.2% of total equity.

Risk Management
Continued
Loan impairment review
Macquarie prospectively adopted AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9) effective 1 April 2018. As permitted by AASB 9,
prior year comparative information was not restated. AASB 9 contains requirements for the classification and measurement
of certain financial instruments, hedge accounting requirements and, from a credit provisioning perspective, introduced an
expected credit loss methodology, which differed to the incurred loss methodology applied prior to FY2019.
For AASB 9 disclosures refer to Note 36.1 Credit risk to the financial statements including disclosure of loan asset exposures
by stage of credit performance. Note 13 Expected credit losses to the financial statements discloses expected credit losses
on loan assets by stage of credit performance. The 2021 numbers presented below are calculated with reference to this
information. Loan assets categorised as Stage III in terms of AASB 9 are defined as ‘credit impaired’. As noted, AASB 9 did not
require the restatement of comparative information, and for that reason the comparative numbers in the graph below have
not been restated.
Underlying credit quality in FY2021, as indicated by Stage I & II provisions and credit losses, has remained broadly consistent
compared to FY2020. The level of Stage I & II provisions to loan assets and net credit losses to loans assets is primarily caused
by the deterioration of market conditions and market uncertainty, as a result of COVID-19 (as disclosed in the Notes to the
financial statements).

Net Credit Losses to Loan Assets (Prior year comparatives to FY18: Net Credit losses to loans, advances and leases) - Income statement
Notes to prior year comparatives(3)
• Loans, advances and leases excluded securitised mortgages, securitised Macquarie Capital loans/leases, segregated futures
funds and receivables in the form of fees.
• The collective provision is intended to cover losses inherent in the existing overall credit portfolio which are not yet
specifically identifiable.
• Net impaired assets and net losses excluded investment securities.
• Net credit losses represented the total P&L impact in the stated period due to additional individual provisions, direct
write-offs (net of any write-backs) and change in Stage I & II provisions.
(2) The decrease in the ratio of Net Stage III Loan Assets to Loan Assets during FY2021 is attributable to the growth in the mortgage portfolio and the carrying value of loans within
Stage III remaining relatively comparable to the prior year.
(3) The information for the financial years ended 31 March 2009–2021 is based on results using the Australian Accounting Standards that were effective and adopted by the Consolidated
Entity at the reporting dates. Reporting periods have been restated only to the extent as required by the accounting standards. The financial reporting periods may hence not be fully
comparable with one another as a result of changes in accounting standards’ requirements.

Directors’ Report
For the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued
Directors’ and officers’
indemnification and insurance
Under MGL’s Constitution, MGL indemnifies all past
and present directors and secretaries of MGL and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (including at this time the
Directors named in this report and the Secretaries),
against certain liabilities and costs incurred by them in
their respective capacities. The indemnity covers the
following liabilities and legal costs (subject to the
exclusions described as follows):
• every liability incurred by the person in their
respective capacity
• all legal costs incurred in defending or resisting
(or otherwise in connection with) proceedings in
which the person becomes involved because of their
respective capacity
The indemnities and insurance arrangements provided for
under the MGL Constitution, the Deed and the Deed Poll,
are broadly consistent with the corresponding indemnities
and insurance arrangements provided under the MBL
Constitution and deeds entered into by MBL.
Macquarie maintains a Directors’ and Officers’ insurance
policy that provides cover for each person in favour of whom
such insurance is required to be taken out under the Deed
and the Deed Poll and for MGL in indemnifying such persons
pursuant to the Deed and the Deed Poll. Relevant individuals
pay the premium attributable to the direct coverage under
the policy and MGL pays the premium attributable to the
company reimbursement coverage under the policy. The
Directors’ and Officers’ insurance policy prohibits disclosure
of the premium payable under the policy and the nature of
the liabilities insured.
• legal costs incurred by the person in good faith
in obtaining legal advice on issues relevant to the
performance and discharge of their duties as an officer
of MGL and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, if that has been
approved in accordance with MGL policy.
To the extent permitted by law, MGL has agreed to reimburse
its auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), for any liability
(including reasonable legal costs) PwC incurs in connection
with any claim by a third party arising from MGL’s breach of
the letter of engagement dated 23 June 2020.
This indemnity does not apply to the extent that:
• MGL is forbidden by law to indemnify the person against
the liability or legal costs, or
• an indemnity by MGL of the person against the liability
or legal costs, if given, would be made void by law.
MGL has also entered into a Deed of Access, Indemnity,
Insurance and Disclosure (as amended from time to time)
(Deed) with each of the Directors. Under the Deed, MGL,
inter alia agrees to:
• indemnify the Director upon terms broadly consistent
with the indemnity contained in MGL’s Constitution
• take out and maintain an insurance policy against liabilities
incurred by the Director acting as an officer of MGL or its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. The insurance policy must be
for an amount and on terms and conditions appropriate
for a reasonably prudent company in MGL’s position.
Insurance must be maintained for seven years after the
Director ceases to be a Director or until any proceedings
commenced during that period have been finally resolved
(including any appeal proceedings)
• grant access to the Director to all relevant company
papers (including Board papers and other documents) for
seven years after the Director ceases to be a Director or
until any proceedings commenced during that period have
been finally resolved (including any appeal proceedings).
In addition, MGL made an Indemnity and Insurance Deed
Poll on 12 September 2007 (Deed Poll). The benefit of the
undertakings made by MGL under the Deed Poll have been
given to each of the directors, secretaries, persons involved
in the management and certain other persons, of MGL and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and other companies where
the person is acting as such at the specific request of MGL
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Deed Poll provides for
broadly the same indemnity and insurance arrangements
for those persons with the benefit of the Deed Poll as for
the Deed described above. However, the Deed Poll does not
provide for access to company documents.
Environmental regulations
The Consolidated Entity has policies and procedures in
place that are designed to ensure that, where operations
are subject to any particular and significant environmental
regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State
or Territory, those obligations are identified, appropriately
addressed and material breaches notified.
The Directors have determined that there has not been any
material breach of those obligations during the financial year.
Non‑audit services
Fees paid or payable to PwC, being the auditor of the
Consolidated Entity, for non-audit services during the year
ended 31 March 2021 total $A11.9 million (2020: $A9.0 million).
Further details of amounts paid or payable to PwC and its
related practices are disclosed in Note 41 Audit and other
services provided by PwC in the Financial Report.
The Voting Directors are satisfied that the provision
of non-audit services did not compromise the auditor
independence requirements of the Act for the
following reasons:
• the operation of the Consolidated Entity’s Auditor
Independence Policy, restricts the external auditor from
providing non-audit services under which the auditor
assumes the role of management, becomes an advocate
for the Consolidated Entity, audits its own professional
expertise, or creates a mutual or conflicting interest
between the auditor and the Consolidated Entity. The
policy also provides that significant permissible non-audit
assignments awarded to the external auditor must be
approved in advance by the Board Audit Committee (BAC)
or the BAC Chairman, as appropriate
• the BAC has reviewed a summary of non-audit services
provided by PwC, including details of the amounts paid
or payable, and has provided written advice to the Board
of Directors.
90
Consistent with the advice of the BAC, the Voting Directors
are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during
the year by the auditor and its related practices is compatible
with the general standard of independence for auditors
imposed by the Act.
Rounding of amounts
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in
Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, amounts
in the Directors’ Report and Financial Report have been
rounded off to the nearest million Australian dollars unless
otherwise indicated.
This report is made in accordance with a resolution of
the Directors.
Events subsequent to balance date
At the date of this report the Directors are not aware of any
matter or circumstance, other than transactions disclosed in
the financial statements, that has arisen and has significantly
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the
Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations or the
state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in the financial
years subsequent to 31 March 2021.

Remuneration Report
We appreciate
the exceptional
effort made by our
staff during a very
difficult year. Their
response embodies
Macquarie’s
purpose and
core principles.”
Letter from the
Chair of the Board
Remuneration Committee
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to
present the 2021 Remuneration Report and
my first as Chair of the Board Remuneration
Committee (BRC).
The financial year 2021 (FY2021) has seen challenging market
conditions associated with the ongoing impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Our customers, clients and the broader
community have all been affected on various levels. Our
focus has been on ensuring the health and well-being of our
staff and their families, and supporting our clients and the
broader community.
During this time and amid physical changes to the working
environment, Macquarie’s culture and long-term focus on
building leadership capability and resilience in technology
have provided a platform from which our staff have
continued to respond to client needs. We appreciate the
exceptional effort made by our staff during a very difficult
year. Their response embodies Macquarie’s purpose and
core principles.
100
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Macquarie has demonstrated great resilience against this
challenging backdrop, and our purpose and culture have
guided staff through these times. Our strong financial results
and returns to shareholders in FY2021 reflect the diversity
of our businesses and our ability to support our clients and
adapt to a rapidly changing external environment.
• Net profit after tax (NPAT) is up 10% compared to FY2020.
• Return on Equity (ROE) of 14.3% is stable compared to
FY2020’s 14.5%.
• Earnings per share (EPS) of 842.9 cents per share is up 7%
compared to the prior year.
Shareholders were impacted in FY2020 with a reduced
dividend in line with regulatory expectations. The FY2021
full-year dividend is up 9% compared to the prior year.
Pay for performance
Our longstanding and consistent approach to remuneration
has served us well and has been a key driver of our sustained
success as an international organisation. Staff are rewarded
based on their performance against a wide range of
financial and non-financial considerations. This approach
aligns the interests of staff and shareholders and allows
us to deliver positive outcomes over the long-term for our
customers, clients and the broader community. The Board
believes that it is critical that Macquarie maintains its strong
entrepreneurial culture that incentivises innovation and
drives sustained success.
The Board is always mindful of the external focus on overall
remuneration levels and spends considerable time each
year determining remuneration outcomes for the CEO and
Executive Key Management Personnel (KMP). We recognise
the range of expectations and have made decisions that
we believe take into consideration the perspectives of all
stakeholders. This report has been prepared to provide
transparency around the considerations informing
our decisions.
On 1 April 2021, APRA announced actions required regarding
MBL’s risk management practices and ability to calculate
and report key prudential ratios. APRA increased MBL’s
operational risk capital requirement and made adjustments
to requirements for certain liquidity prudential ratios,
effective from 1 April 2021. The actions relate to specific
intra-group funding arrangements as well as breaches of
APRA’s reporting standards on liquidity between 2018 and
2020. APRA noted that the breaches are historical and do not
impact the current overall soundness of Macquarie Group’s
capital and liquidity positions.
The Board acknowledges the seriousness of the APRA
findings and has reflected this in its determination of
remuneration outcomes. This has been through a reduction
in the PSU allocations for Executive KMP and the imposition
of additional qualifying conditions on the release of a portion
of their retained profit share. The qualifying conditions
relate to the timely and satisfactory remediation of the
APRA findings.
Remuneration outcomes
FY2021 remuneration outcomes reflect:
• this year's achievements against a range of financial and
non-financial factors, some of which are discussed below
• the importance of our people and retaining key talent to
encourage innovation and pursue growth opportunities
• an alignment to the outcomes delivered to shareholders
• risk management, compliance and conduct outcomes.
We have firstly considered the financial results of Macquarie
overall as well as each Operating Group. Against a challenging
backdrop, all Operating Groups have been profitable this year.
These results reinforce the value of the diversification which
we have built into each of our businesses.
In determining the CEO’s remuneration, we have considered
her strong leadership through the challenges of COVID-19.
She has also advanced a process of reorganising Macquarie’s
Operating Groups and renewing the Executive Committee,
positioning the business for future opportunities.
We have also considered a number of factors, which the
Board views as critical to Macquarie’s ongoing success.
These include cross-group collaboration, the continued focus
on people and culture, the ongoing investment in technology,
progress against Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) initiatives, risk
management and Macquarie’s response to COVID-19. Further
details are set out on page 118 of this Report.
The BRC receives extensive reporting on remuneration
outcomes across Macquarie and, in addition to the CEO
and Executive KMP, individually reviews and approves the
remuneration of Banking Executive Accountability Regime
(BEAR) Accountable Persons, staff who hold regulated roles,
Designated Executive Directors(1) and other senior staff
(generally direct reports of Executive KMP), and has reviewed
overall total remuneration levels across each business to
ensure appropriate distribution of remuneration across the
organisation. The BRC has also considered the compensation
expense to income ratio as a guide as to whether the share of
profits distributed to staff and shareholders is reasonable.
After careful consideration of these factors, we believe the
following outcomes for the year are appropriate:
• CEO awarded profit share has increased 14% on the prior
year to $A19.85 million
• total Executive KMP awarded profit share is up 8% to
$A106.9 million
• reflecting the APRA findings, PSU allocations for Executive
KMP have been reduced and additional qualifying
conditions have been imposed on the release of a portion
of their retained profit share
• in FY2020, in light of the economic uncertainty due to
COVID-19, retention rates for the CEO and Executive KMP
were increased to 100%. This year, they have been reset to
levels more in line with 2019.

Regulatory environment
During the year, APRA released the revised draft of the
Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration, which requires
an increased focus on non-financial risks. We engaged
with APRA during the year with regard to the proposed
requirements and continue to participate in the consultation
process, including on the recently released draft Prudential
Practice Guide CPG 511 Remuneration. We support APRA’s
policy position and recognise that this is an evolving area
as regulators and organisations seek to define and assess
best practice.
I look forward to receiving your views and support at the 2021
Annual General Meeting.

Remuneration Report
Continued
Culture, accountability and remuneration
Macquarie’s evolution is driven by our people who are guided
by our core principles of Opportunity, Accountability and
Integrity. These principles remain pivotal to our culture
and effectively guide our staff in balancing risk and reward
and making decisions that realise opportunities for the
benefit of our clients, our shareholders, our people and the
communities in which we operate.
The BRC and the Board are able to assess Macquarie’s
culture in many ways, including through staff survey results,
human capital reporting, risk culture reporting and strategy
presentations, as well as through personal observation of
management and staff behaviours and actions. The BRC
coordinates with the Board Risk Committee (BRiC) and
Board Governance and Compliance Committee (BGCC) to
achieve an integrated approach to remuneration that reflects
prudent and appropriate risk considerations.
The remuneration framework supports our principles
by motivating staff to be innovative, to build businesses
and to be accountable for their decisions, behaviours
and their associated risk management, customer and
reputational consequences.
Strong risk management is a fundamental part of everyone’s
role at Macquarie. Staff understand that they are rewarded
for their performance, including their identification and
management of risk. They also understand that there
are consequences for non-compliance with Macquarie’s
behavioural expectations. Staff training and communications
emphasise the link between risk, conduct, policy breaches
and consequence management outcomes, including,
where appropriate, adjustments to performance-based
remuneration.
In FY2021, there were 97 (FY2020: 164) matters involving
conduct or policy breaches (for example, Code of Conduct,
appropriate workplace behaviour, risk management and
technology breaches) that resulted in formal consequences
including termination of employment or a downward
adjustment to their profit share. The remote working
environment was a key factor in the decline in the number of
matters this year. For example, fewer in-person interactions
contributed to a reduction in instances of conduct failing to
meet appropriate workplace behaviour standards. Consistent
with prior years, we have disclosed further details regarding
these matters (refer to page 111).
102
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Remuneration framework
This section explains the link between Macquarie’s purpose and its remuneration objectives and principles, and how these
are reflected in the remuneration framework.
Macquarie’s longstanding and consistent approach to remuneration continues to support our remuneration objectives,
including delivering strong company performance over the short and long-term, while prudently managing risk and reinforcing
the Code of Conduct and What We Stand For. The Board recognises that to achieve these objectives, we must attract,
motivate and retain exceptional people with deep industry expertise while aligning their interests with shareholders to meet the
needs of clients and customers while ensuring that regulatory requirements are upheld. This broad approach has been in place
since Macquarie’s inception, evolving over time to ensure the framework continues to meet our remuneration objectives.
Macquarie’s remuneration approach has been a key driver of our sustained success as an international organisation. Staff are
motivated to grow businesses over the medium to long-term, taking accountability for all decisions and their accompanying risk
management, customer, economic and reputational consequences.
This approach has been fundamental in ensuring we can continue to attract, motivate and retain exceptional, entrepreneurial
and ethical people across the global markets in which we operate. We hire world-class people in 32 highly competitive markets.
These people come from, and compete in, various industry sectors (including hedge funds, private equity firms, global
investment banks, fund managers, advisory boutiques, commodity houses and other banks, as well as industries that are not
specific to banking or financial services, for example, technology, accounting and engineering) across many jurisdictions.
The table below shows the link between Macquarie’s purpose and the remuneration objectives and principles.

Remuneration objectives
Remuneration principles
Macquarie’s remuneration framework aims to:
• deliver strong company performance over
the short and long-term whilst prudently
managing risk
• attract, motivate and retain exceptional
people with deep industry expertise
• align the interests of staff and shareholders
to deliver sustained results for our customers,
clients and community
• promote innovation and the building
of sustainable businesses
• drive behaviours that reflect Macquarie’s
culture and the principles of What We Stand For
• foster a diverse and inclusive work environment.
These objectives are achieved by:
• emphasising performance-based remuneration
• determining an individual’s variable remuneration
based on a range of financial and
non-financial factors
• retaining a significant proportion of
performance-based remuneration to enable risk
outcomes to be considered over a long period
• delivering retained profit share in equity to ensure
the interests of staff and shareholders are aligned
over the long-term
• remunerating high-performing staff appropriately,
relative to global peers
• providing consistent arrangements over time to
give staff the confidence to pursue multi-year
initiatives.

Remuneration Report
Continued
Remuneration framework continued
Macquarie’s remuneration framework works as an integrated whole. As summarised below, an individual’s remuneration
comprises fixed remuneration, profit share and, for Executive Committee members (our Executive KMP), Performance Share
Units (PSUs).
Remuneration framework
Fixed Remuneration
• primarily comprises base salary, as well as superannuation contributions and standard country-specific benefits in line
with local market practice
• for Executive KMP, is set at a comparatively low level, relative to the industry, and a low proportion of total remuneration
but sufficient to avoid inappropriate risk-taking
• is reviewed annually and reflects technical and functional expertise, role scope, market practice and regulatory
requirements
• for risk and financial control staff, is generally a higher proportion of total remuneration than for front office staff.
Performance‑based Remuneration
Criteria
Eligibility
Profit Share
• all permanent employees
Determination
Structure
• allocations reflect an individual’s
performance, which is assessed against
a range of financial and non-financial
factors including:
– contribution to financial results
– approach to risk management
and compliance
– business leadership including outcomes
for customers and the community
– people leadership and professional
conduct including the role-modelling of
Macquarie’s culture and purpose
• significant proportion is retained (80%
for the CEO and up to 70% for other
Executive KMP)
• long deferral periods (up to seven years for
the CEO and other Executive KMP)
• retained profit share is delivered in a
combination of Macquarie equity and
Macquarie-managed fund equity
Performance Share Units
• Executive Committee members
• PSU pool is determined with reference
to profits over recent years, subject to
Board discretion
• individual allocations reflect their role as
members of the Executive Committee and
their contribution to driving the collective
performance of Macquarie
• for FY2021, allocations are based on the
face value of shares on the grant date
• PSUs vest after four years, subject to
the achievement of two forward-looking
performance hurdles (no retesting

Profit share
This section describes the way in which profit share is determined, structured and delivered.
Annual process to determine profit share outcomes
Remuneration outcomes are based on realised outcomes and are determined through a principles-based approach, taking
into consideration all aspects of an individual’s performance. Significant judgement is applied in determining remuneration
outcomes to ensure that all factors that may potentially impact the quantum of profit share allocations are considered. The
table below describes how profit share allocations are determined at an individual, business group and company-wide level.
Outcomes may be adjusted downwards at any level as a result of any risk management, compliance and conduct issues that
have come to light during the year.
Individual profit
share allocations
Business group
profit share pools
Company‑wide
profit share pool
Individual profit share allocations reflect an employee’s performance. Employees are assessed against the
following areas:
Financial results
• business profits and individual contribution to profits for front office staff
• primarily based on contribution to high quality control functions for risk and financial control roles
• for other support staff, based on their contribution to delivering high quality services to support
the businesses
Risk management and compliance
• the active management and consideration of a wide range of financial and non-financial risks
• motivates a culture of disciplined risk management, and regulatory, policy and business compliance
Business leadership (including customer and community outcomes)
• business growth and innovation
• delivering solutions for our customers and the communities in which we operate
People leadership and professional conduct
• alignment to Macquarie’s purpose and culture
• conduct and behaviour consistent with the Code of Conduct and What We Stand For
• fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment
• talent development.
Individual profit share allocations also consider relativities in the market in which each business competes
for talent.
• For Operating Groups, reflects consideration of:
– each business’ contribution to company-wide profits
– each business’ capital, funding and liquidity requirements and usage
– other factors such as the quality of the income, whether the business is highly regulated or not,
the maturity of the business, and the reliance on intellectual capital versus financial capital.
• For Central Service Groups, based on the quality and integrity of control functions and support
services; not primarily determined with reference to profitability.
• Considers the risk profile of each business including consideration of any significant reputational,
cultural or compliance matters.
• Also considers overall remuneration levels in the market in which each business operates.
• Is an aggregate of the bottom-up assessment conducted at both the business and individual level.
• Is assessed for overall reasonableness, including consideration of:
– an internal reference based on Macquarie’s after-tax profits and its earnings over and above the
estimated cost of capital
– the resultant compensation expense to income ratio and how it compares to that of peers.
• The Board retains discretion to amend the final pool determined in accordance with the bottom-up
assessment to ensure that all relevant factors, including risk and conduct matters, have been
appropriately taken into consideration. For the seventh year in a row, the company-wide pool is
substantially below the internal reference described above.
• The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) confirms that the profit share pool can be supported by Macquarie’s
capital position and does not limit Macquarie’s ability to further strengthen its capital base in
the future.

Retained profit share: retention and vesting
Macquarie retains a percentage of each individuals’ annual profit share allocation (retained profit share) above certain thresholds,
which is invested in a combination of Macquarie ordinary shares under the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan
(MEREP) and Macquarie-managed fund equity notionally invested under the Directors’ Profit Share (DPS) Plan.(3) Whilst they are
employed, an individual’s retained profit share vests and is released over a period that reflects the scope and nature of their role
and responsibilities.(4) These arrangements ensure that Macquarie continues to retain high-performing staff, provide significant
long-term alignment to shareholders and customers, as well as enabling risk outcomes to be considered over long periods.
Retention and vesting arrangements are determined by the BRC according to prevailing market conditions, remuneration trends, and
compliance with regulatory requirements (including under the BEAR). For each year’s allocation, once the vesting period has been
determined it remains fixed for that allocation.
As noted in last year’s Remuneration Report, in light of the economic uncertainty due to COVID-19, retention rates in FY2020
were increased to 100% for the CEO and all Executive Committee members (no cash component). For FY2021, as a result of
improved economic conditions, the Board has determined that retention rates be reset to levels more in line with 2019. The
following table summarises the standard retention and vesting arrangements applicable for FY2021.

The Board’s discretion to change remuneration arrangements, as noted above, includes changes to profit share retention levels
provided that the retention percentage is at least 30% for all Executive Directors.
Investment of retained profit share
An individual’s retained profit share is invested in a combination of Macquarie ordinary shares under the MEREP and
Macquarie-managed fund equity notionally invested under the DPS Plan. The allocation reflects the nature of their role as set
out in the following table.

(3) Both the MEREP and DPS Plan are fundamental tools in Macquarie’s retention, alignment and risk management strategies, encompassing both long-term retention arrangements and
equity holding requirements. The MEREP has a flexible plan structure that offers different types of equity grants depending on the jurisdiction in which the participating employees
are based. In most cases, the equity grants are in the form of units comprising a beneficial interest in Macquarie ordinary shares held in a trust for the staff member (Restricted Share
Units or RSUs). For further details on the MEREP, refer to Note 32 Employee equity participation to the financial statements in the Financial Report. The DPS Plan comprises exposure
to a notional portfolio of Macquarie-managed funds. Retained amounts are notionally invested over the retention period. This investment is described as ‘notional’ because Executive
Directors do not directly hold securities in relation to this investment.
(4) Profit share that is not retained (“available profit share”) is delivered in cash except for staff (including one Executive Committee member) subject to the UK Remuneration Code
implementing CRD IV, where 50% of available profit share is delivered in Macquarie equity and is subject to a 12-month hold period.
(5) For staff (including one Executive Committee member) subject to the UK Remuneration Code implementing CRD IV, retained profit share invested in Macquarie equity is subject to
a further 12-month hold post the vesting period.
(6) Above certain monetary thresholds.
(7) For Executive Directors subject to the UK Remuneration Code implementing CRD IV, retained profit share is invested 60% in Macquarie equity and 40% in the DPS Plan.
(8) For staff other than Executive Directors, retained profit share is generally 100% invested in Macquarie equity with the exception of those staff with funds responsibilities where
retained profit share is invested in a combination of Macquarie equity and Macquarie-managed fund equity.
106
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
In addition to the arrangements set out in the tables above, different arrangements may apply in certain circumstances:
• retention rates and vesting and release schedules may vary for certain groups of staff who have become employees
as a result of an acquisition, or for staff in certain jurisdictions, for example in the UK or European Union (EU), to ensure
compliance with local regulatory requirements
• in limited circumstances, retained profit share may be allocated under arrangements other than the DPS Plan or the MEREP.
For example, this may include investment in funds or products of a specific business group where there is a need to directly
align the interests of staff with those of their clients.
Forfeiture of retained profit share – Malus and Clawback
The Board or its delegate has the ability to reduce or eliminate unvested profit share for certain senior employees in certain
circumstances (Malus), as set out on page 110. For certain employees identified in the UK or EU, the Board also has the ability to
recover (in whole or in part) vested profit share (Clawback).
Early vesting and release of retained profit share
The standard policy is that staff who cease employment with Macquarie will forfeit their unvested retained profit share.
The Board may exercise discretion to accelerate the vesting of a departing employee’s retained profit share and reduce the
retention period including where, for example, their employment ends in the case of retirement from Macquarie, redundancy,
death, serious incapacitation, disability, or serious ill-health. The Board’s discretion to accelerate the vesting of retained profit
share under these circumstances is subject to the conditions of early release as set out below for Executive Directors.
Discretion may be exercised in certain other limited exceptional circumstances on the grounds of business efficacy, in relation
to strategic business objectives, including in connection with the divestment or internalisation of Macquarie businesses,
or when an employee resigns to fulfil a public service role in a governmental organisation or agency. Where such discretion
is exercised, the Board may impose such other conditions as it considers appropriate. This year, such discretion has been
exercised and retained profit share was approved to be released on original vesting schedules for two executives due to the
transfer of their employment to an operationally segregated subsidiary or joint venture entity.
Conditions of early release to departing Executive Directors – Post Employment Events
Where discretion has been exercised to accelerate the vesting of retained profit share, the Board may reduce or eliminate their
retained profit share, if it is determined that the Executive Director has at any time during their employment or the relevant
release periods after their employment committed a Malus Event (as set out on page 110) or:
(a) taken staff to a competitor of Macquarie or been instrumental in causing staff to go to a competitor, or
(b) joined a competitor of Macquarie or otherwise participated in a business that competes with Macquarie.
Each of the above is a Post Employment Event.
In the case of death or serious incapacitation, the Board will typically accelerate the vesting of retained profit share and
immediately release it. In other circumstances, the release will occur over the period from six months to two years after the
Executive Director leaves, in accordance with the following table:
First Period
Second Period

Six months to one year
One year to two years

As above and in addition, the
release is subject to no Post
Employment Event (b) during
the Second Period
As above and in addition, the release is
subject to no Post Employment Event (b)
during the Second or Third Period
In addition to the above, for Accountable Persons, the exercise of discretion for any early release of retained profit share will be
subject to Macquarie meeting the minimum deferral periods required under the BEAR.
Where an Executive Director has a tax liability on termination of employment in respect of any unvested retained profit share,
the Board has discretion to release unvested retained profit share up to an amount equal to the Executive Director’s tax liability
at an earlier time than noted above.

Performance Share Units
This section describes the way in which Performance Share Units (PSUs) are determined, structured and delivered.
Allocation and structure
Executive Committee members are the only group of staff eligible to receive PSUs, which are subject to forward-looking
performance hurdles and determined with reference to Macquarie’s performance as a whole. As such, they provide an
additional incentive to Executive Committee members to drive company-wide performance over the long-term and beyond
their business group responsibilities. PSU awards are a meaningful incentive but are generally not the major element of an
Executive Committee member’s total remuneration.
While the PSU pool is determined with reference to profits over recent years, the Board retains discretion to determine the final
PSU pool taking into consideration both financial and non-financial factors, including the risk profile of Macquarie.
Individual allocations are based on their role as members of the Executive Committee and their contribution to driving the
collective performance of Macquarie, including their collaboration across businesses.
PSUs are granted in August each year. The number of PSUs that will be allocated will be calculated by dividing the face value of
the award by the price of Macquarie ordinary shares on or around the date of grant.
Since their introduction, PSUs have been structured as DSUs with performance hurdles. Holders have no right to dividend
equivalent payments. There is no exercise price for PSUs.
Performance hurdles
The following summarises the key terms of PSUs and the performance hurdles:
Application
EPS CAGR hurdle
50% of PSU award
Performance measure Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in EPS over the
vesting period (four years)(9)
Sliding scale applies:
• 50% becoming exercisable at EPS CAGR of 7.5%
• 100% at EPS CAGR of 12%
For example, if EPS CAGR was 9.75%, 75% of the
relevant awards would become exercisable
Hurdle
Forfeiture
ROE hurdle
50% of PSU award
Average annual ROE over the vesting period
(four years)(9) relative to a reference group of
global financial institutions(10)
Sliding scale applies:
• 50% becoming exercisable above the
50th percentile
• 100% at the 75th percentile
For example, if ROE achievement was at the
60th percentile, 70% of the relevant awards
would become exercisable
• Malus provisions apply
• the standard policy is that unvested PSUs will be forfeited upon termination
• in the case of retirement from Macquarie, redundancy, death, serious incapacitation, disability,
serious ill-health or other limited exceptional circumstances, the Board or the BRC has the
authority to either accelerate the vesting of PSUs or to permit the PSUs to continue to vest in
accordance with the original award schedule and remain subject to the same performance hurdles
• should a change of control occur(11) the Board or the BRC has discretion to determine how
unvested PSUs should be treated, having regard to factors such as the length of time elapsed in
the performance period, the level of performance to date and the circumstances of the change
in control.
(9) PSUs awarded prior to FY2020 vested in two equal tranches after three and four years.
(10) The reference group for awards is Bank of America Corporation, Barclays PLC, Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JP Morgan Chase & Co., Lazard
Ltd, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG. Comparator company information is presented in the same order throughout the Remuneration Report.
(11) Under the MEREP Plan Rules, a change in control occurs where a person acquires or ceases to hold a relevant interest in more than 30% of Macquarie shares or where the Board
resolves that a person is in a position to remove one-half or more of the Non-Executive Directors.
108
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Rationale for hurdles
The PSU hurdles are regularly reviewed by the BRC to ensure they continue to align the interests of staff and shareholders and
provide a challenging but meaningful incentive to Executive Committee members. The BRC considers historical and forecast
market data, the views of corporate governance bodies, shareholders and regulators, as well as market practice. Both the
relative ROE and absolute EPS hurdles were reviewed by the BRC during the year and were considered to still be appropriate.
No change has been made to the hurdles for FY2021 for the following reasons:
• ROE and EPS growth drive long-term shareholder value and are appropriate as the Executive Committee can affect
outcomes on both measures. In contrast, Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is influenced by many external factors over which
executives have limited control
• the approach is consistent with that advocated by APRA in not using TSR as a measure
• ROE and EPS can be substantiated using information that is disclosed in Macquarie's annual reports
• a sliding scale diversifies the risk of not achieving the hurdles and provides rewards proportionate to performance for
shareholders and is preferable to an all-or-nothing test, which some have argued could promote excessive risk-taking
• the hurdles are designed to reward sustained strong performance and are relatively well-insulated from short-term
fluctuations. The time frame used for PSUs should also be considered in light of the three- to seven-year deferral of profit
share for members of the Executive Committee
• the EPS targets are confirmed as rigorous when market performance is considered, with the EPS threshold hurdle exceeding
the performance of most of the ASX 20, global reference group and relevant indices over time
• for the EPS element to fully vest, Macquarie needs to achieve at least 12% CAGR over the vesting period. Supporting the
rigour of the hurdle, cumulative EPS growth of 57% over four years is required to achieve full vesting
• the ROE vesting thresholds and sliding scale are in line with the domestic market and are particularly challenging when
compared to international practice.
The charts below display Macquarie’s historical EPS and ROE PSU outcomes, highlighting that since their introduction in 2009,
50% of the EPS tranches and 55% of the ROE tranches have resulted in either no vesting or partial vesting.

Use of an international reference group
An international reference group(12) recognises the extent of Macquarie’s diversification and internationalisation. As at
31 March 2021, total international income represented approximately 68% of Macquarie’s total income, with approximately
56% of Macquarie’s staff located outside Australia. The BRC considers an international reference group to be appropriate
on the basis that:
• the international reference group is currently most representative of Macquarie’s business operations and talent pool.
These firms broadly operate in the same markets and in similar business segments, and compete for the same
people as Macquarie
• Macquarie has no comparable Australian-listed peers.
In addition, the BRC considers it important to not intervene reactively to remove under-performers or over-performers in any
given period. An organisation’s period of under-performance is generally followed by a period of over-performance.
(12) The reference group is Bank of America Corporation, Barclays PLC, Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JP Morgan Chase & Co., Lazard Ltd, Morgan
Stanley and UBS AG. Comparator company information is presented in the same order throughout the Remuneration Report.

Remuneration Report

Culture, accountability and remuneration
This section describes how risk and conduct are considered throughout Macquarie’s remuneration approach.
Risk culture
Macquarie’s What We Stand For principles of Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity remain pivotal to our culture and
effectively guide our staff in balancing risk and reward and making decisions that realise opportunity for the benefit of our clients,
our shareholders, our people and the communities in which we operate. Staff are continually made aware that these principles
must form the basis of all behaviours and actions. These behavioural expectations are outlined in the Board approved Code of
Conduct, which is actively promoted by Management and cascaded through the organisation through multiple mechanisms.
Macquarie invests significant time and effort into communicating and reinforcing Macquarie’s culture through communications
from senior management, policy reminders, training, and learning and development activities. The Board is able to assess
Macquarie’s culture in a number of ways including through staff survey results, human capital reporting, risk culture reports,
consequence management reports, strategy presentations as well as through personal observation of management, and staff
behaviour and actions.
Strong risk management is a fundamental part of everyone’s role at Macquarie. Staff understand that they are rewarded not
just for their contribution to financial results, but also for how those results are achieved. This includes an assessment of an
individual’s approach to managing risk, and their alignment to the What We Stand For principles. They understand there are
potential consequences for non-compliance with the risk management framework and Macquarie’s behavioural expectations.
Staff training and communications emphasise the link between risk, conduct, policy breaches and consequence management
outcomes, including, where appropriate, adjustments to performance-based remuneration.
Alignment of remuneration with risk outcomes
The Board considers that the effective alignment of remuneration with prudent risk-taking is fundamental to its remuneration
approach. The consideration of risk is embedded throughout the entire remuneration process including through the
determination of individual profit share allocations, business and company-wide profit share pools as well as through the way in
which remuneration is structured and delivered.
The Board is aware of the increasing focus of regulators and shareholders on ensuring that risk-related matters that come to
light subsequent to remuneration being awarded are appropriately factored into remuneration decisions. Macquarie’s high
retention rates and long deferral periods provide a mechanism for the Board to consider risk outcomes over a long period.
Furthermore, where an investigation has commenced into a risk or conduct-related matter that may result in forfeiture or, for
senior employees, the application of Malus, Macquarie may further defer the payment, vesting and/or release of profit share to
allow for the investigation to be completed.(13)
The following mechanisms exist to risk adjust remuneration outcomes:
In‑year profit share adjustments
• determined as part of assessing an individual’s performance each year
• the annual assessment includes consideration of compliance with the risk management framework and with the
Applies to all staff
behavioural expectations outlined in the Code of Conduct. In addition, any outcomes from the consequence management
process or the independent reporting from the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and General Counsel are also considered.
Forfeiture
• where an individual’s employment is terminated due to a compliance or conduct concern (or they resign), unvested
Applies to all staff with retained profit share
remuneration is forfeited, as per Macquarie’s standard policy.
Malus Events
Applies to senior employees
Macquarie’s Malus provisions provide the Board or its delegate with the ability to reduce or eliminate in full, the retained profit
share for senior employees and, for Executive Committee members, unvested PSUs where it is determined that the individual
has at any time:
• acted dishonestly (including, but not limited to, misappropriating funds or deliberately concealing a transaction)
• acted or failed to act in a way that contributed to:
– a breach of a significant legal or significant regulatory requirement relevant to Macquarie
– MGL or MBL making a material financial restatement
– MGL, MBL or any Operating Group within Macquarie incurring:
– significant reputational harm
– a significant unexpected financial loss, impairment charge, cost or provision.
(13) Malus also applies to any unvested profit share retained by Executive Directors on termination, in addition to the Post Employment Events set out on page 107.
110
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Additional provisions may apply to staff in certain jurisdictions to ensure compliance with local regulations. This includes,
for example:
• if an Accountable Person fails to comply with their accountability obligations under the BEAR, this may result in
consequences being applied in accordance with Macquarie’s policies, including the application of Malus
• staff in the UK and EU, including one Executive Committee member, who are subject to additional Malus and Clawback
provisions under local regulatory requirements.
The BRC considers whether, and the extent to which, to apply Malus, taking into account local employment laws, the nature and
circumstances of the event and any other redress that has been or may be applied.
Macquarie has always had and continues to have, the ability to terminate staff where a Malus Event has occurred, at which time
any unvested profit share would be forfeited in full.
Risk adjustment processes
There are robust processes in place to ensure that all risk, reputation, and conduct-related matters are specifically considered
when determining remuneration outcomes. These processes may result in a downward adjustment to group and/or individual
profit share allocations where appropriate. A wide range of risks that could have a financial or non-financial impact on
Macquarie are considered, including if there has been a detriment to customers.
The diagram below provides an overview of these processes.

Risk Management Group
Human Resources
Legal
The CRO provides the BRC with an
independent report detailing significant
regulatory and legal matters, significant
compliance and operational incidents,
internal audit issues and other financial
and non-financial risk matters.
The Global Head of HR discusses RMG’s
report with the Group Heads to ensure
any matters listed in the report are
appropriately reflected in remuneration
outcomes for relevant staff and
provides a report to the BRC on how
this has been achieved.
The General Counsel provides a further
source of independent input and, in
conjunction with HR, considers whether
there are any incidents (including any
breach of the BEAR obligations) that
should be brought to the attention
of the BRC which might lead to a
Malus determination.
Consequence management process
Incidents, breaches of policy and misconduct issues are regularly reported to senior management. The Global Head of HR
annually reports to the BRC on the outcomes from the consequence management process and confirms that these matters
have been considered in determining remuneration and promotion outcomes where appropriate.
Consequence management outcomes
Macquarie’s Consequence Management Guideline applies wherever a breach of internal policy or regulatory requirement
is identified. Consequences may include further training, removal of delegated authorities or permissions, adjustments to
performance-based remuneration, impact on promotion, formal warnings or termination.
Where an employee has received a formal warning, their performance-based remuneration will likely be impacted and in
some cases, it will be reduced to zero. Promotion decisions may also be impacted. Consequences may also be applied where a
formal warning has not been issued. In each case, judgement is exercised as to the appropriate consequence(s) based on all the
relevant circumstances.
In FY2021, there were 97 (FY2020: 164) matters involving conduct or policy breaches (for example, Code of Conduct, appropriate
workplace behaviour, risk management and technology breaches) that resulted in formal consequences. Of those:
• for 16 matters, termination of employment was the outcome (FY2020: 32)
• for 81 matters, a formal warning was issued (FY2020: 132). Additional consequences were applied as appropriate including
additional training, removal of delegated authorities or permissions, adjustments to profit share and/or impact to
promotion. Of the 81 matters, 15 have resulted in individuals subsequently leaving Macquarie before year-end outcomes were
determined and 64 individuals had their profit share reduced by an average of 48%.
The remote working environment was a key factor in the decline in the number of matters this year. For example, fewer
in-person interactions contributed to a reduction in instances of conduct failing to meet appropriate workplace behaviour
standards (50 matters in FY2020 decreasing to 20 matters in FY2021).
The 97 matters were considered isolated incidents and there was no evidence of broader systemic conduct issues.

Awards

fees
Hedging
• Role-based allowances are a component of fixed remuneration that may be awarded to certain
employees, including those identified as Material Risk Takers (MRTs) under UK or EU regulatory
requirements. These allowances are determined based on the role and organisational responsibility
of the individuals.
• Executive Directors are required to hold a relevant interest in Macquarie ordinary shares that have a value
equal to 5% of an Executive Director’s aggregate profit share allocation for each of the past five years (10
years for Executive Committee members), which can be satisfied by the requirements of the profit share
retention policy.
• For Executive Committee members, compliance with this policy equates to a minimum shareholding
requirement of between 195% to 835% of fixed remuneration, excluding the role-based allowance in
place for one Executive Committee member.
• Staff who are promoted to Associate Director, Division Director or Executive Director receive an
allocation of MEREP awards based on Director-level set with reference to an Australian dollar value.
Currently these awards range from $A25,000 to $A175,000 depending on the promotion level.
• A small number of individuals with funds responsibilities may receive a portion of their
performance-based remuneration as a share of performance fees paid by Macquarie-managed funds.
• The profit share pool is adjusted downwards to reflect these deferred remuneration arrangements, which
are also taken into account in determining the individual’s profit share allocation.
• Consistent with market practice, these individuals are allocated an entitlement to a share of performance
fees paid by a particular fund. This allocation is based on performance, seniority and the extent of the
individual’s involvement with the particular fund.
• An individual will not receive their entitlement until Macquarie has received performance fees towards
the end of the fund’s life, which is typically upwards of 10 years. The entitlement will be forfeited if their
employment ceases before five years from the date of allocation. Entitlements are subject to similar
forfeiture conditions as profit share.
• Prior to joining the Executive Committee, both Mr Stanley (ceased to be a member of the Executive
Committee effective 1 April 2021) and Mr Way (joined the Executive Committee on 1 April 2021) participated
in these arrangements for certain funds in their former roles. Upon joining the Executive Committee, they
maintained their participation in these existing funds, but they have not been allocated any additional
entitlements. No other Executive Committee members currently participate in these arrangements.
• Macquarie prohibits staff from hedging (i) shares held to meet the minimum shareholding requirement
and (ii) unvested equity held in the MEREP.

Pay for performance
This section details Macquarie’s results and demonstrates the link between pay and performance.
Macquarie’s results
Macquarie delivered strong financial results for shareholders in FY2021. NPAT has increased by 10% compared to the prior
year and EPS has increased by 7%. In addition, returns to shareholders have been strong with an increase in ordinary dividends
of 9% compared to the prior year, noting that shareholders were impacted in FY2020 with a reduced dividend in line with
regulatory expectations.
Total compensation and total Executive KMP awarded profit share has not increased to the same extent as NPAT and the
compensation expense to income ratio is consistent with FY2020. CEO awarded profit share has increased by 14%. This increase
has been explained in both the Chair letter and the CEO’s awarded pay table on page 120.

Compensation expense to income ratio
In determining the reasonableness of the company-wide profit share pool, the Board considers Macquarie’s compensation
expense to income ratio (compensation ratio) compared to that of an international reference group as a broad guide to assess
whether the share of profits distributed to staff and shareholders is reasonable. The compensation ratio effectively adjusts for
differences in size between organisations; however, some companies are or have become part of larger organisations, often
with large retail operations that can distort comparisons.
In the following chart, Macquarie’s compensation ratio is compared with that of the international reference group.(22)
Macquarie’s FY2021 compensation ratio of 40.6% is well below the average of our international peer group.

Continued
Tenure of Executive KMP(23)
One of the primary goals of Macquarie’s remuneration
framework is to attract, motivate and retain high-performing
staff. The Board’s view is that Macquarie continues to achieve
this goal as demonstrated by the following:
• Macquarie’s Executive KMP had an average tenure of
24 years with Macquarie as at 31 March 2021. Their strong
leadership and deep expertise have been integral to driving
company and business performance in FY2021
• as at 31 March 2021, 49% of Director-level staff had
more than ten years’ experience with Macquarie, while a
further 22% had between five and ten years’ experience
with Macquarie
• the 4.4% Director-level voluntary turnover rate in FY2021
is considerably lower compared with the prior year
and remains below the voluntary turnover rate across
Macquarie overall.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Executive KMP remuneration outcomes for FY2021
This section details Executive KMP remuneration outcomes for FY2021 and demonstrates the link between pay
and performance.
Executive KMP fixed remuneration outcomes
In line with our pay for performance approach to
remuneration, fixed remuneration for our Executive KMP
in FY2021 comprised approximately 10% of total awarded
remuneration, with the balance at risk and explicitly linked
to performance.
In addition to a base salary and as part of fixed remuneration,
one Executive KMP, Mr Wong, receives a role-based
allowance as described on page 112.
Process to determine Executive KMP profit
share outcomes
There is a consistent and comprehensive process for the
Board and the BRC to assess the performance of the CEO
and each Executive KMP during the year to enable them
to determine remuneration outcomes at the end of the
year. The Board is always mindful of the external focus on
overall remuneration levels and has spent considerable time
determining remuneration outcomes for the CEO and each
Executive KMP. The BRC recognises the range of expectations
and have made decisions which take into consideration the
perspectives of all stakeholders. Significant judgement is
applied in order to ensure that remuneration outcomes are
aligned both with individual and company-wide performance
and with outcomes delivered to our shareholders, our clients
and the communities in which we operate.
As part of the Board’s annual review of Macquarie’s CEO’s
performance, the CEO meets with the Non-Executive
Directors (NEDs) of the Board towards the end of each
financial year to consider formal documentation that outlines
her views of Macquarie’s performance. The presentation
includes a broad range of Macquarie’s activities covering the
following main areas:
• financial performance
• risk management and compliance
• business leadership including customer and
community outcomes
• people leadership and professional conduct consistent
with the Code of Conduct and What We Stand For.
Over the course of the year the Board receives regular
reports and updates on many of these areas. These are
summarised in the CEO’s presentation, together with
additional information on any particular matters of interest
the Board has identified for further discussion as a part
of the review process. This year, the NEDs requested that
the CEO focus on how Macquarie demonstrates its culture
of putting customers first, promotes the expansion of
businesses with new and existing customers as well an
ongoing focus on regulatory issues, including compliance and
reporting. The Board then considers the CEO’s performance
and progress against all of these topics in determining the
CEO’s remuneration for the year. A similar process is followed
for the CEO of Macquarie Bank.
The Board and the BRC consider formal documentation for
each Executive KMP, which includes consideration of the
same factors as the CEO as set out above.
The BRC also consider risk-related matters raised in the
independent reports from the CRO and the General Counsel.
To ensure that all matters are appropriately brought to
the BRC’s attention and to achieve an integrated approach
to remuneration that reflects prudent and appropriate
risk, there is a joint meeting of the BRC, BRiC and the
BGCC. Finally, the BRC considers remuneration levels for
organisations that broadly operate in the same markets and
compete for the same people as Macquarie.
FY2021 remuneration impacts –
APRA enforcement action
On 1 April 2021, APRA announced actions required regarding
MBL’s risk management practices and ability to calculate
and report key prudential ratios. APRA increased MBL’s
operational risk capital requirement and made adjustments
to requirements for certain liquidity prudential ratios,
effective from 1 April 2021. The actions relate to specific
intra-group funding arrangements as well as breaches of
APRA’s reporting standards on liquidity between 2018 and
2020. APRA noted that the breaches are historical and do not
impact the current overall soundness of Macquarie Group’s
capital and liquidity positions.
The Board acknowledges the seriousness of the APRA
findings and has reflected this in its determination of
remuneration outcomes. This has been through a reduction
in the PSU allocations for Executive KMP and the imposition
of additional qualifying conditions on the release of a portion
of their retained profit share. The qualifying conditions
relate to the timely and satisfactory remediation of the
APRA findings.
FY2021 Executive KMP profit share outcomes
FY2021 remuneration outcomes reflect:
• this year's achievements against a range of financial and
non-financial factors, some of which are discussed below
• the recognition that our people are our greatest asset,
and the importance of retaining key people to encourage
innovation and pursue growth opportunities
• an alignment to the outcomes delivered to shareholders
• risk management, compliance and conduct outcomes.
We have firstly considered the financial results of Macquarie
overall, as well as each Operating Group. Against a challenging
backdrop, all Operating Groups have been profitable this year.
These results reinforce the value of the diversification which
we have built into each of our businesses.

• Macquarie’s response to COVID‑19: There has been
a heightened awareness of the issues impacting our
customers, clients, portfolio companies, and the broader
community as a result of the pandemic, as well as the
global political and social challenges. Some of the ways
Macquarie has addressed the impact of COVID-19 include:
– payment pause and lending relief continues
although the vast majority of clients have resumed
normal payments
– within our portfolio companies, there has been ongoing
work to ensure business continuity, financial resilience
and employee well-being
– the Macquarie Group Foundation (the Foundation)
has increased financial support for urgent direct relief
needs, research, and to support workers and businesses
in restarting economic activity through the COVID-19
donation fund.
Executive KMP remuneration outcomes have been
considered in the context of the wider workforce. The BRC
receives extensive reporting on remuneration outcomes
and individually reviews and approves the remuneration
of BEAR Accountable Persons, staff who hold regulated
roles, Designated Executive Directors and other senior staff
(generally direct reports of Executive KMP) and has reviewed
overall total remuneration levels across each business to
ensure appropriate distribution of remuneration across the
organisation. The BRC has also considered the compensation
expense to income ratio as a guide as to whether the share of
profits distributed to staff and shareholders is reasonable.
Finally, the BRC also considers remuneration levels for
organisations in an international reference group that broadly
operate in the same markets and compete for the same
people as Macquarie.
After careful consideration of all these factors, we believe the
following outcomes for the year are appropriate:
• CEO awarded profit share has increased 14% on the prior
year to $A19.85 million
• total Executive KMP awarded profit share is up 8% to
$A106.9 million
• reflecting the APRA findings, PSU allocations for Executive
KMP have been reduced and additional qualifying
conditions have been imposed on the release of a portion
of their retained profit share
• in FY2020, in light of the economic uncertainty due to
COVID-19, retention rates for the CEO and Executive KMP
were increased to 100%. This year, they have been reset to
levels more in line with 2019.
Remuneration Report
Continued
In determining the CEO’s remuneration, we have considered
her strong leadership through the challenges of COVID-19.
She has also advanced a process of reorganising Macquarie’s
Operating Groups and renewing the Executive Committee,
positioning the business for future opportunities.
We have also considered the following contributing
factors which the Board views as critical to Macquarie’s
ongoing success:
• Cross‑group collaboration: There has been an increasing
focus over the last year as businesses work together
to leverage expertise and find holistic solutions for
customers and unlock new opportunities. Our culture of
putting customers first and delivering on customer and
community expectations permeates through Macquarie.
This has helped to drive growth, secure repeat business
and support our whole portfolio during COVID-19
challenged market conditions.
• The continued focus on people and culture: The
well-being and empowerment of staff is instrumental
to Macquarie’s resilience and performance. As part of
this ongoing focus, Macquarie’s rearticulated purpose
was launched this year following extensive consultation
with over 800 staff. Each group has implemented new
and reviewed existing strategies to embed our purpose:
to empower people to innovate and invest in a better
future. In addition, longstanding investment in leadership
capability and flexible working has been accelerated as
a result of the pandemic. The Macquarie Voice survey
conducted in November 2020 saw increased employee
engagement, further evidencing the focus being given to
staff well-being.
• Ongoing investment in technology: Macquarie continues
to invest in technology, systems and processes to
reduce risk, enhance the customer experience and drive
efficiencies. These investments have also underpinned
business resilience, with as many as 98% of staff across
Macquarie working remotely during the year with
minimal disruption.
• Progress against D&I initiatives: D&I continues to be
a business priority that is fundamental to Macquarie’s
ongoing success. We acknowledge the heightened political
and social focus on addressing inequality. During the year
we reaffirmed our commitment to building a diverse
workforce with the development of D&I initiatives focused
on building inclusive leadership capabilities and enhancing
the transparency of demographic data to better
understand the diversity of the workforce and where
further action is required.
• Risk management: A disciplined approach to risk
management is critical to Macquarie’s success.
Notwithstanding the APRA findings noted earlier, there
have been a number of enhancements made to ensure
that non-financial risks are identified and managed,
including:
– significant investment in Work, Health, Safety
and Environment systems, procedures, training
and oversight
– heightened focus on financial crime risk
– a comprehensive review of the ESR policy to ensure
stakeholder expectations are met
– a refresh of the Conduct Risk framework.

Remuneration Report

Executive KMP awarded pay
To clearly demonstrate the link between pay and performance, we have included awarded remuneration disclosures for fixed
remuneration and profit share as well as highlights of each Executive KMP’s performance for the year. Details of PSUs awarded
and vested in the year are set out in the following sections.
The tables on the following pages are additional disclosures that are prepared on a different basis to those included in the
statutory disclosures in Appendix 2 and are not additive. Remuneration relating to the portion of the relevant periods that each
person was an Executive KMP is disclosed.
As noted in last year’s report, in light of the economic uncertainty due to COVID-19, retention rates for FY2020 were increased
to 100% for the CEO and all Executive Committee members and there was no available profit share component. For FY2021, as
a result of improved economic conditions, retention rates have been reset to levels more in line with 2019.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Executive KMP – Allocation of PSUs for FY2021
As set out on page 108, individual PSU allocations were determined based on their role as members of the Executive
Committee and their contribution to driving the collective performance of Macquarie. This year, PSU allocations have been
reduced to reflect the APRA findings.
In a change from last year, the number of PSUs to be allocated will be calculated by dividing the face value of the PSU award
by the price of Macquarie ordinary shares on or around the date of grant. This change from a fair value methodology is not
expected to have an impact on the resulting number of PSUs to be allocated for FY2021. In the table below, we have disclosed
PSU allocations for all Executive KMP at face and fair value.
Approval will be sought at Macquarie’s 2021 Annual General Meeting to allocate PSU awards to the Macquarie CEO, who is also
an Executive Voting Director.

The fair value is estimated assuming a fair value of $A101.10 per PSU based on the share price of $A152.83, being the closing price of Macquarie ordinary shares on 31 March 2021. The
fair value takes into account trading restrictions, the fact that PSUs do not attract dividends and the vesting performance hurdles and time frames. As a result, the fair value of a PSU is
lower than the face value of a PSU. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value: a risk-free interest rate of 0.44% per annum, share volatility of 31.31% and a forecast
dividend yield of 3.96% per annum (paid in two instalments each year).
Pages 108 to 109 set out details of the performance hurdles and vesting period applicable to these awards.
Executive KMP – PSUs vesting during FY2021
The PSUs that completed their performance period on 30 June 2020 comprised the second tranche of those awards granted
in 2016 and the first tranche of those granted in 2017. The performance hurdle tests were performed using data sourced from
Bloomberg for all peers (as well as Macquarie) and the calculations were reviewed independently. The results showed that the
performance hurdles:
• based on Macquarie’s relative average annual ROE compared to the peer group have been fully met for both tranches; and
• based on the EPS CAGR in Macquarie’s reported financial year have not been met for either the 2016 or the 2017 PSU grants.
As a result, 50% of the awards became exercisable on 1 July 2020, as shown below:

Remuneration Report

Remuneration governance
Effective governance is central to Macquarie’s remuneration strategy and approach. The key elements of Macquarie’s
remuneration governance framework are described below.
MGL AND MBL BOARDS
Board Remuneration Committee
Oversees Macquarie’s remuneration policies and practices,
and makes recommendations to the Boards
Strong Board oversight
The Board oversees Macquarie’s remuneration framework.
The Board has a BRC whose objective is to assist the Board
and the Board of Macquarie Bank, a key operating subsidiary,
with Macquarie’s remuneration policies and practices. The
BRC currently comprises six independent Non-Executive
Directors (NEDs):
Board Remuneration Committee
Chair
J.R. Broadbent
Members
G.M. Cairns
P.M. Coffey
D.J. Grady
M. Roche
P.H. Warne
The BRC members have the required experience and
expertise in human resources, remuneration and risk to
enable them to achieve effective governance of Macquarie’s
remuneration framework. The BRC has a regular meeting
cycle and met six times during FY2021. Attendance at
meetings by the BRC members is set out in the Directors’
Report. Strict processes are in place to ensure conflicts of
interest are appropriately managed.
BRC responsibilities
The BRC pays close attention to the design and operation
of remuneration practices for all of Macquarie, not just for
the most senior executives. The responsibilities of the BRC
are outlined in its Charter, which is reviewed and approved
annually by the Board.
The Charter is available at
macquarie.com/corporate‑governance
Board Risk Committee &
Board Governance and Compliance Committee
Discuss any relevant matters which may impact
remuneration in a joint meeting with the Board
Remuneration Committee
Some of the responsibilities include:
• overseeing the process for the annual review by the Board
of the CEOs’ and other Executive KMPs’ performance
• recommending to the Board the remuneration outcomes
for all Executive KMP, Designated Executive Directors and
other senior executives
• assessing the effectiveness of the Remuneration Policy to
ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,
as well as to support the alignment of remuneration
with prudent risk-taking and professional conduct across
the organisation
• recommending the Remuneration Policy to the Board
for approval.
Alignment to risk
The BRC liaises with the BRiC and BGCC to ensure there is
effective co-ordination between the Committees to assist
in producing an integrated approach to remuneration that
reflects prudent and appropriate risk.
As set out on page 111, the CRO provides the BRC with an
independent report detailing significant regulatory and legal
matters, significant compliance and operational incidents,
internal audit issues and other non-financial risk matters.
A joint meeting of the BRC, BRiC and BGCC is held to discuss
these matters, with the CRO in attendance. The General
Counsel attends as required to provide a further source of
independent input, including on matters which might lead to
a Malus determination. The CFO annually confirms to the BRC
that the profit share pool can be supported by Macquarie’s
current and forecast capital position and does not limit
Macquarie’s ability to further strengthen its capital base in
the future if required.
Engagement with external stakeholders
The Chairman of the Board, the previous BRC Chair and
the current BRC Chair undertook a series of meetings with
investors and proxy advisors during the year to communicate
our remuneration approach and to hear any concerns raised
by the investor community.
They also engaged with APRA during the year during the
consultation process for CPS 511.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Pay Governance’s findings included that:
• the objectives of Macquarie’s remuneration framework
are similar to those cited by other leading global
investment banks
• Macquarie’s remuneration components support its
remuneration objectives and principles and are largely
consistent with practices at other leading global
investment banks, including that performance-based
remuneration takes risk management into account.

Independent remuneration review
The BRC has retained Pay Governance as its independent
remuneration consultant, for the use of the Board to
obtain advice on the appropriateness of Macquarie’s
remuneration framework.
The only service that Pay Governance provides to
Macquarie is executive compensation consulting to the
BRC. Pay Governance has not made any remuneration
recommendations, as defined by the Corporations Act 2001
(Cth) (the Act). The BRC is responsible for making decisions
within the terms of its Charter. Pay Governance’s terms of
engagement set out their independence from members of
Macquarie’s management. This year, Pay Governance:
• provided information on global remuneration and
regulatory trends
• considered alignment with shareholder interests
• compared individual remuneration for Executive KMP
where relevant comparator company information
was available
• considered Macquarie’s overall remuneration approach
compared to comparator company organisations.

Remuneration Report
Continued
Non‑Executive Director remuneration
The Macquarie Board seeks to attract and appoint high-calibre NEDs. Reflecting the Board’s role, the remuneration
arrangements applicable to NEDs, as outlined in this section, differ significantly from the arrangements applicable
to Executives.
Non‑Executive Director remuneration
Non-Executive Director fees are set acknowledging the level
required to appropriately remunerate highly qualified NEDs
who have the relevant skills and experience to govern as a
member of the Board.
Macquarie’s NED remuneration framework seeks to
remunerate high-calibre directors by:
• setting an overall fee that reflects the scale and
complexity of Macquarie, including risk management and
regulatory responsibilities and the global financial nature
of Macquarie’s activities
• setting Board and Committee fees to reflect the time
commitment required to meet the responsibilities involved
in the annual scheduled calendar, taking into account
market rates for relevant organisations and market trends
• paying separate fees for additional responsibilities that
may arise on an ad hoc basis
• delivering these fees in a form that is not contingent
on Macquarie’s performance
• setting a minimum shareholding requirement to align
the interest of NEDs with shareholders.
All NEDs of MGL are also NEDs of MBL. The framework
governs the remuneration of NEDs of MGL and MBL. The
CEO is not remunerated separately for acting as an Executive
Voting Director.
Unlike Macquarie executives, NEDs are not granted equity,
nor are they eligible to receive profit share payments. There
are no termination payments to NEDs on their retirement
from office other than payments relating to their accrued
superannuation contributions comprising part of their
remuneration.
NEDs may elect to receive their remuneration, in part,
in the form of superannuation contributions over and
above the minimum level of contribution required under
applicable legislation.
Macquarie’s NEDs are remunerated for their services from
the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders
for this purpose. Macquarie shareholders approved the
current limit ($A5.0 million per annum) at MGL’s 2019 AGM.
The Board ensures that NED remuneration for MGL and MBL
taken together does not exceed this shareholder approved
maximum amount.
Board and Committee fees are reviewed annually.(30)
An internal review of NED fees was completed during the
year. The Boards determined, following this review, that Board
and Committee fees should remain unchanged.
Minimum shareholding requirement for
Non‑Executive Directors
To align the interests of the Board with shareholders, the
Board has a minimum shareholding requirement for NEDs,
who are required to have a meaningful direct shareholding
in Macquarie.
The Board minimum shareholding requirements:
• for NEDs other than the Chair, an investment equivalent
to one times the average annual NED fee for the financial
year ending prior to their appointment
• for the Chair, an investment equivalent to one times the
annual Chair fee.
with the minimum number of shares to be determined using
the share price as at the date of a NED’s/Chair’s appointment.
The above requirements apply to NEDs and are to be met
within three years from appointment with one third of the
requirement to be held after one year, two thirds after two
years and in full after three years.
Under Macquarie’s Trading Policy, NEDs may only trade
Macquarie securities during designated trading windows
and are prohibited from hedging shares held to meet this
minimum Macquarie shareholding requirement. Each NED’s
current holding of Macquarie ordinary shares is included on
page 88 of the Directors’ Report.

(37) Ms Wikramanayake’s fixed remuneration increased effective 1 July 2019, to reflect her role as CEO.
(38) The movement in Mr O’Kane’s fixed remuneration reflects an adjustment to his salary on relocation to Australia in line with other Executive KMP based in Australia.
(39) Ms Reemst will retire as a member of the Executive Committee effective 1 July 2021. Her FY2021 statutory remuneration of $A7.9 million includes $A5.5 million related to the
amortisation of her equity awards. $A3.1 million of this amount represents accelerated amortisation of equity awards. As a result of her intention to retire, the amortisation of her
equity awards is being recognised over an accelerated vesting period resulting in further accounting amortisation.
(40) Mr Stanley ceased to be a member of the Executive Committee on 31 March 2021 but remains currently employed with Macquarie. Outstanding amortisation related to his equity
awards, totalling $A12.4 million, will continue to be recognised over the vesting period of the awards.

(37) Ms Wikramanayake’s fixed remuneration increased effective 1 July 2019, to reflect her role as CEO.
(38) The movement in Mr O’Kane’s fixed remuneration reflects an adjustment to his salary on relocation to Australia in line with other Executive KMP based in Australia.
(39) Ms Reemst will retire as a member of the Executive Committee effective 1 July 2021. Her FY2021 statutory remuneration of $A7.9 million includes $A5.5 million related to the
amortisation of her equity awards. $A3.1 million of this amount represents accelerated amortisation of equity awards. As a result of her intention to retire, the amortisation of her
equity awards is being recognised over an accelerated vesting period resulting in further accounting amortisation.
(40) Mr Stanley ceased to be a member of the Executive Committee on 31 March 2021 but remains currently employed with Macquarie. Outstanding amortisation related to his equity
awards, totalling $A12.4 million, will continue to be recognised over the vesting period of the awards.
(41) Comparable KMP are Executive KMP who are members of the Executive Committee for the full year in both FY2021 and FY2020.
(42) Mr Bishop ceased to be a member of the Executive Committee on 31 May 2019 and retired on 15 July 2019.
(43) Mr Farrell ceased to be a member of the Executive Committee and retired on 1 September 2019.
(44) Mr Silverton and Mr Wong were appointed to the Executive Committee effective from 1 June 2019. Mr Wong’s fixed remuneration includes a role-based allowance which is a
component of fixed remuneration which may be awarded to certain employees, including those identified as Material Risk Takers (MRTs) under UK or EU regulatory requirements.
These allowances are determined based on the role and organisational responsibility of the individuals.

Remuneration Report

Additional information regarding the statutory remuneration disclosures set out in this Appendix
The remuneration disclosures set out in this Appendix have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
and differ to the additional disclosures set out on pages 120 to 128.
Under the requirements of AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures, the remuneration disclosures for the years ended 31 March 2021
and 31 March 2020 only include remuneration relating to the portion of the relevant periods that each person was an
Executive KMP.
The following information provides more detail regarding some of the column headings in this Appendix:
(1) Short-term employee benefits:
(a) Salary: includes salary, superannuation, any accrual for long service leave and other benefits
(b) Performance-related remuneration: this represents the cash portion of each person’s profit share allocation for the
reporting period as an Executive KMP.
(2) Long-term employee benefits:
(a) Restricted profit share: this represents the amount of retained profit share awarded for the current period that is
deferred to future periods and held as a notional investment in Macquarie-managed fund equity (DPS Plan)
(b) Earnings on prior years restricted profit share: Profit share amounts retained under the DPS Plan are notionally invested
in Macquarie-managed funds, providing Executive Directors with an economic exposure to the underlying investments.
Executive Directors are each entitled to amounts equivalent to the investment earnings (dividends/distributions and
security price appreciation) on the underlying securities. The notional returns are calculated based on Total Shareholder
Return. Where these amounts are positive, they may be paid to Executive Directors and are included in these
remuneration disclosures as part of ‘Earnings on prior years restricted profit share’. If there is a notional loss, this loss will
be offset against any future notional income until the loss is completely offset and is reported as a negative amount in the
same column. These earnings reflect the investment performance of the assets in which prior years retained amounts
have been notionally invested. Their inclusion in the individual remuneration disclosures on the previous pages may,
therefore, cause distortions when year-on-year remuneration trends are examined. They do not reflect remuneration
review decisions made about the individual’s current year performance.
(3) Share-based payments:
(a) Equity awards including shares: This represents the current year expense for retained profit share that is invested in
Macquarie ordinary shares under the MEREP as described on pages 106 to 107. This is recognised as an expense over the
respective vesting periods, or service period if shorter, as described on pages 106 to 107 and includes amounts relating
to prior years equity awards that have been previously disclosed. Equity awards in respect of FY2021 performance will be
granted during FY2022; however, Macquarie begins recognising an expense for these awards (based on an initial estimate)
from 1 April 2020. The expense is estimated using the price of MGL ordinary shares as at 31 March 2021 and the number of
equity awards expected to vest. In the following financial year, Macquarie will adjust the accumulated expense recognised
for the final determination of the accounting fair value for each equity award when granted and will use this validation for
recognising the expense over the remaining vesting period
(b) PSUs: This represents the current year expense for PSUs that is recognised over the vesting period as described on pages
108 to 109. This includes amounts relating to prior years PSU awards. PSU awards in respect of FY2021 will be granted
during FY2022; however, Macquarie begins recognising an expense for these awards (based on an initial estimate) from
1 April 2020. The expense is estimated using the price of MGL ordinary shares as at 31 March 2021 and the number of
PSUs expected to vest. The estimate also incorporates an interest rate to maturity of 0.44% per annum, expected vesting
date of 1 July 2025, and a dividend yield of 3.96% per annum. In the following financial year, Macquarie will adjust the
accumulated expense recognised for the final determination of the accounting fair value for each PSU when granted and
will use this validation for recognising the expense over the remaining vesting period. Performance hurdles attached to
the PSUs allow for PSUs to become exercisable upon vesting only when the relevant performance hurdles are met. The
current year expense is reduced for previously recognised remuneration expense where performance hurdles have not
been met, have been partially met or are not expected to be met.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
RSU and DSU awards to KMP
The following table sets out details of the RSU and DSU awards associated with Macquarie equity granted to Executive KMP.
Grants made to Executive KMP prior to their joining the Executive Committee are not disclosed. PSUs are disclosed in a
separate table.
A significant portion of an Executive KMP’s retained profit share is invested in Macquarie equity, delivered as RSUs or DSUs.
RSUs are units comprising a beneficial interest in Macquarie ordinary shares held in a trust for the staff member. DSUs
are structured to provide the holder with the same benefits and risks of RSU holders. For further details, refer to Note 32
Employee equity participation to the financial statements in the Financial Report. There have been no alterations to the terms
or conditions of the grants set out below since the grant date. RSU and DSU awards are subject to forfeiture as set out on
page 110. The value of the grants at vesting could vary significantly as they are dependent on the MGL ordinary share price at
the time of vesting. Retention rates, the vesting profiles and service and performance criteria for the current year are set out
on pages 106 to 107. RSUs and DSUs are granted in the financial year following the year of Macquarie’s performance to which
the grant relates. For example, RSUs and DSUs granted to KMP in June 2020 relate to their performance in FY2020. All awards
that were eligible to vest, vested during the year. No awards were forfeited during the year.

As required under the Act, Macquarie has adopted the fair value measurement provisions of AASB 2 Share-Based Payment
for all PSUs granted to KMP. The accounting fair value of such grants is being amortised and disclosed as part of each KMP’s
remuneration on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The 2020 PSU allocation has been determined based on a
fair valuation of a PSU as at 4 August 2020. The accounting fair value of $A105.09 at this date has been estimated using a
discounted cash flow method.
The following key assumptions were adopted in determining the value of the PSUs granted:
Interest rate to maturity
Expected vesting dates
Dividend yield
0.2023% per annum
1 July 2024
4.33% per annum
PSUs have a nil exercise price. PSUs awarded prior to FY2020 vest on a pro-rata basis as set out on page 108, footnote 9. For
the 2020 grant, it will vest on 1 July 2024. The PSUs expire on 4 August 2029.
(72) Or during the period for which the Executive was a KMP if shorter.
(73) Based on the accounting fair value on the date of grant.
(74) Face value is calculated by multiplying the number of PSUs granted by the closing market price of Macquarie ordinary shares on the date of grant.
(75) Based on closing share price at 30 June 2020, being the day the PSUs were forfeited.
(76) Based on the share price at the time of exercise.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Notes to the financial statements
For the financial year ended 31 March 2021
Note 1
Basis of preparation
This Financial Report is a General Purpose Financial Report
which has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Macquarie Group Limited is a for-profit Company for the
purposes of preparing this Financial Report.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation
of this Financial Report are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the financial years
presented and are applicable to both the Consolidated
Entity (Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries) as
well as to the Company (Macquarie Group Limited), unless
otherwise stated.
(i) Compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures
that this Financial Report complies with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Consequently, this Financial Report is compliant with IFRS.
(ii) Basis of measurement
This Financial Report has been prepared under the historical
cost convention except for the following items, as disclosed
in the respective accounting policy:
• financial instruments (including derivatives) required to
be measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL),
financial assets classified as fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI) and financial instruments
that have been designated as FVTPL (DFVTPL)
• financial assets and liabilities that are otherwise measured
on an amortised cost basis but adjusted for changes in fair
value attributable to the risk being hedged in qualifying fair
value hedge relationships
• non-current assets and disposal groups that have been
classified as held for sale and where a disposal group has
been impaired to its fair value less costs to sell
• commodity inventories that are measured at fair
value less costs to sell in accordance with the
broker-trader exemption
• certain other non-financial assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value, such as investment property.
(iii) Critical accounting estimates and significant judgements
The preparation of this Financial Report in compliance with
Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting
policies. The notes to the financial statements set out areas
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or
areas where assumptions are significant to the Consolidated
Entity and the consolidated Financial Report such as:
• determining the appropriate business model for a group
of financial assets which includes determining the level at
which the business model condition is applied and whether
past or expected sales activity is consistent with a held to
collect business model (Note 44(vii))

• assessing whether the cash flows generated by a financial
asset constitute solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI) may require the application of judgement,
particularly for certain subordinated or non-recourse
positions, and in the determination of whether
compensation for early termination of a contract is
reasonable (Note 44(vii))
• the choice of inputs, estimates and assumptions used in
the measurement of Expected Credit Loss, including the
determination of significant increase in credit risk (SICR),
forecasts of economic conditions and the weightings
assigned thereto (Note 44(xxii) and Note 13)
• timing and amount of impairment of interests in
associates and joint ventures and investment in
subsidiaries, including the reversal thereof (Note 44(i),
Note 44(xxii), Note 14 and Note 17)
• the timing and amount of impairment of goodwill and
other identifiable intangible assets and, where applicable,
the reversal thereof (Note 44(xxii) and Note 16)
• fair value of assets and liabilities including the
determination of non-recurring fair values and accounting
for day 1 profits or losses for financial instruments
(Note 44(vii), Note 44(x) and Note 38)
• distinguishing between whether assets or a business is
acquired under a business combination, particularly the
determination of whether a substantive process exists
that, together with an integrated set of activities and
assets, significantly contributes to the ability to create an
output (Note 44(ii))
• determination of significant influence over associates, joint
control over arrangements and control over subsidiaries,
including the assessment of whether certain rights are
protective or substantive in nature, whether these rights are
held in the capacity as agent or principal, and whether the level
of involvement in an investee’s relevant activities is sufficient
to significantly affect the returns generated (Note 44(i))
• recoverability of tax receivables, deferred tax assets
and measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities
can require significant judgement, particularly where the
recoverability of such tax balances relies on the estimation
of future taxable profits and management’s determination
of the likelihood that uncertain tax positions will be
accepted by the relevant taxation authority (Note 44(vi),
Note 4 and Note 18)
• recognition and measurement of certain revenue streams
including performance fees from Macquarie-managed
funds and other capital market investments and
transactions (Note 44(iv))
• recognition and measurement of provisions related to actual
and potential claims, determination of contingent liabilities,
and supplemental rent, maintenance liabilities and end of
lease compensation (Note 44(iv), Note 44(xvii) and Note 33)
• the application of hedge accounting principles, including
the assessment that a forecast transaction is highly
probable (Note 44(x) and Note 35)
• the timing of derecognition of assets and liabilities
following the disposal of an investment, including the
measurement of the associated gain or loss (Note 44(i)).
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are
based on historical experience and other factors, including
reasonable expectations of future events.
155
The AASB Framework includes amendments to the definition
and recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, income and
expenses, guidance on measurement and derecognition, and
other relevant financial reporting concepts. The application
of the revised AASB Framework did not have a material
impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.
(ii) AASB 2020‑8 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform ‑ Phase 2
IBOR reform: Transition from inter‑bank offered rates (IBOR)
to alternative reference rates (ARRs)
IBOR are interest rate benchmarks that are used in a wide
variety of financial instruments such as derivatives and
lending arrangements. Examples of IBOR include ‘LIBOR’
(the London Inter-bank Offered Rate), ‘EURIBOR’ (the Euro
Inter-bank Offered Rate) and ‘BBSW’ (the Australian Bank Bill
Swap Rate). Historically, each IBOR has been calculated and
published daily based on submissions by a panel of banks.
Over time, changes in inter-bank funding markets have meant
that IBOR panel bank submissions have become based less
on observable transactions and more on expert judgement.
Financial markets’ authorities reviewed what these changes
meant for financial stability, culminating in recommendations
to reform major interest rate benchmarks. As a result of
these recommendations, many IBOR around the world are
undergoing reforms.
The nature of the reforms varies across different jurisdictions.
For example, in Australia the existing IBOR benchmark
(BBSW) has undergone reform and is expected to continue
for the foreseeable future alongside the nominated ARR
for AUD which is AONIA (AUD Overnight Index Average).
By contrast, due to a lack of observable transactions to
support robust LIBOR reference rates, LIBOR publication is
expected to cease. A transition away from LIBOR is therefore
necessary. The cessation date for all tenors of GBP, CHF,
EUR, JPY LIBOR and the one week and two-month tenors for
USD LIBOR is 31 December 2021. The cessation date for the
remaining USD LIBOR tenors is 30 June 2023.
Industry working groups have worked with authorities and
consulted with market participants to develop market
practices that may be used to transition existing LIBOR-linked
contracts for derivatives, loans, bonds and other financial
instruments that mature beyond their respective LIBOR
cessation dates, to ARRs. Amongst the issues considered
were the key differences between LIBOR and ARRs. LIBOR are
term rates which are quoted at the beginning of that period
(for example, one-, three-, six-or twelve-month periods)
and include a component of bank credit risk. ARRs on the
other hand are overnight rates with little or no credit risk. To
facilitate the transition of contracts from LIBOR to ARRs on
an economically equivalent basis, adjustments for term and
credit differences will need to be applied.
As a diversified financial services group with a variety of
global products and services, IBOR reforms, including the
transition from LIBOR to ARRs, are important changes for the
Consolidated Entity.
Note 1
Basis of preparation continued
(iii) Critical accounting estimates and
significant judgements continued
Management believes that the estimates used in preparing
this Financial Report are reasonable. Actual results in the
future may differ from those reported and it is therefore
reasonably possible, on the basis of existing knowledge, that
outcomes within the next financial year that are different
from management’s assumptions and estimates could
require an adjustment to the carrying amounts of the
reported assets and liabilities in future reporting periods.
(iv) Coronavirus (COVID‑19) impact
The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has had significant impacts
on global economies and equity, debt and commodity
markets, led to several changes in the economy and resulted
in several support actions by financial markets, governments,
and regulators. The impact of COVID-19 continues to
evolve and, where applicable, has been incorporated into
the determination of the Consolidated Entity’s results of
operations and measurement of its assets and liabilities at
the reporting date.
The Consolidated Entity’s processes to determine the impact
of COVID-19 for these financial statements is consistent with
the processes disclosed and applied in its 31 March 2020 and
30 September 2020 financial statements. Those processes
identified that expected credit losses (Note 13) and the
assessment of the impairment of non-financial assets
(Note 15 and Note 16) required continued judgement as a
result of the impact of COVID-19.
As there is a higher than usual degree of uncertainty
associated with these assumptions and estimates, actual
outcomes may differ to those forecasted which may
impact the accounting estimates included in these financial
statements. Other than adjusting events that provide
evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the
reporting period, the impact of events that arise after the
reporting period will be accounted for in future reporting
periods. The impact of COVID-19 has been discussed further
in each of the related notes.
(v) New Australian Accounting Standards and
amendments to Australian Accounting Standards that
are either effective in the current financial year or have
been early adopted
(i) AASB Revised Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting
The revised AASB Framework was effective for the
Consolidated Entity’s annual financial reporting period
beginning on 1 April 2020.
The AASB Framework provides the AASB with a base of
consistent concepts upon which future accounting standards
will be developed. The AASB Framework will also assist
financial report preparers to develop consistent accounting
policies when there is no specific or similar standard that
addresses an issue.
156
Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Note 1
Basis of preparation continued
(v) New Australian Accounting Standards and
amendments to Australian Accounting Standards that
are either effective in the current financial year or have
been early adopted continued
Impacts on financial reporting
AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform, issued in
October 2019, amended AASB 7 Financial Instruments:
Disclosures (AASB 7) and AASB 9 Financial Instruments
(AASB 9) to provide certain relief from applying specific
accounting requirements to hedge accounting relationships
directly affected by IBOR reform. The relief enables the
continuation of hedge accounting for impacted hedge
relationships during the period of uncertainty prior to IBOR
transition. The Consolidated Entity early adopted these
amendments for the year ended 31 March 2020.
In August 2020, AASB 2020-8 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
- Phase 2 amended standards including AASB 7, AASB 9
and AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) to address accounting issues
following the transition to ARR. The amendments provide
certain relief from applying specific requirements related to
hedge accounting and the modification of financial assets
and financial liabilities if certain criteria are met.
Where modifications to a contract, or changes in the basis
for determining the contractual cash flows under a contract,
are necessitated as a direct consequence of IBOR reform
and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows
is economically equivalent to the previous basis, the relief
allows an entity to reset the yield applied to such an exposure
on a prospective basis. Thus, at the time of modification,
where the relief applies, there is no impact to the income
statement. The relief requires continuation of hedge
accounting in circumstances when changes to hedged items
and hedging instruments arise as a result of changes required
by the IBOR reform.
The amendments, which are mandatorily effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, also
require additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures.
The Consolidated Entity has early adopted the amendments
for its annual financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2021.
(iii) Other amendments made to existing standards
Other amendments made to existing standards that were
mandatorily effective for the annual reporting period
beginning on 1 April 2020 did not result in a material impact
to the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.

Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Note 3
Segment reporting
(i) Operating segments
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires the ‘management
approach’ to disclosing information about the Consolidated
Entity’s reportable segments. The financial information is
reported on the same basis as used internally by Senior
Management for evaluating Operating Segment performance
and for deciding how to allocate resources to Operating
Segments. Such information may be produced using
different measures to that used in preparing the statutory
income statement.
For internal reporting, performance measurement and
risk management purposes, the Consolidated Entity is
divided into Operating Groups and a Corporate segment
(Reportable segments).
During the current year, Cash Equities was transferred
from CGM to Macquarie Capital. Comparatives have been
reclassified to reflect this reorganisation between the
Operating Groups.
The financial information disclosed relates to the
Consolidated Entity’s ordinary activities.
These segments have been set up based on the different
core products and services offered. The Operating
Groups comprise:
• MAM provides investment solutions to clients across
a range of capabilities, including infrastructure and
renewables, real estate, agriculture, transportation
finance, private credit, equities, fixed income and
multi-asset solutions
• BFS provides a diverse range of personal banking, wealth
management, business banking and vehicle finance(1)
products and services to retail clients, advisers, brokers
and business clients
• CGM provides an integrated, end-to-end offering across
global markets including equities, fixed income, foreign
exchange, commodities and technology, media and
telecoms, as well as providing clients with risk and capital
solutions across physical and financial markets. CGM
also delivers a range of tailored specialised asset finance
solutions across a variety of industries and asset classes
• Macquarie Capital has global capability in advisory and
capital raising services, investing alongside partners
and clients across the capital structure, and providing
clients with specialist expertise, advice and flexible
capital solutions across a range of sectors. It also has
global capability in the development and investment in
infrastructure and energy projects and companies, and
in relation to renewable energy projects, the supply of
green energy solutions to corporate clients. Additionally,
Macquarie Capital’s equities brokerage business provides
clients with access to equity research, sales, execution
capabilities and corporate access.

Includes general plant and equipment.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
The Corporate segment, which is not considered an
Operating Group, comprises head office and Central
Service Groups, including Group Treasury. As applicable,
the Corporate segment holds certain legacy and strategic
investments, assets and businesses that are not allocated to
any of the Operating Groups.
Items of income and expense within the Corporate segment
include the net result of managing Macquarie’s liquidity and
funding requirements, earnings on capital and the residual
accounting volatility relating to economically hedged
positions where hedge accounting is applied, as well as
accounting volatility for other economically hedged positions
where hedge accounting is not applicable.
Other items of income and expenses within the Corporate
segment include earnings from investments, changes in
central overlays to impairments or valuation of assets,
unallocated head office costs and costs of Central Service
Groups, the Consolidated Entity’s performance-related
profit share and share-based payments expense, income
tax expense and certain distributions attributable to certain
non-controlling interests.
Below is a selection of key policies applied in determining the
Operating Segment results.
Internal funding arrangements
Group Treasury has the responsibility for managing funding
for the Consolidated Entity, and Operating Groups obtain
their funding from Group Treasury. The interest rates charged
by Group Treasury are determined by the currency and term
of the funding. Break costs may be charged to Operating
Groups for the early repayment of term funding.
Generally, Operating Groups may only source funding directly
from external sources where the funding is secured by the
Operating Group’s assets. In such cases the Operating Group
bears the funding costs directly and Group Treasury may levy
additional charges where appropriate.
Deposits are a funding source for the Bank Group. The value
of deposits that the Bank Group generates is recognised
within Net interest and trading income for segment
reporting purposes.

Income tax
Income tax expense and benefits are recognised in the
Corporate segment and not allocated to the Operating
Groups. However, to recognise an Operating Group’s
contribution to permanent income tax differences, the
internal management revenue/charge category is used.
This internal management revenue/charge category, which
is primarily used for permanent income tax differences
generated by the Operating Groups, are offset by an equal
and opposite amount recognised in the Corporate segment
such that they are eliminated on consolidation.
Reportable segment assets
Segment assets are the external operating assets that are
employed by a segment in its operating activities.
Note 3
Segment reporting continued
(i) Operating segments continued
Transactions between Operating Segments
Operating Segments that enter into arrangements with other
Operating Segments must do so on commercial terms or as
agreed by the Consolidated Entity’s Chief Executive Officer or
Chief Financial Officer.
Internal transactions are recognised in each of the relevant
categories of income and expense and eliminated on
consolidation as appropriate.
Accounting for derivatives that hedge interest rate risk
With respect to businesses that predominantly earn income
from lending activities, derivatives that hedge interest
rate risk are measured at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL). Changes in fair value are presented in net trading
income and gives rise to income statement volatility unless
designated in a hedge accounting relationship, in which
case the carrying value of the hedged item is adjusted for
changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk to reduce
volatility in the income statement. If designated in a cash
flow hedge accounting relationship, the effective portion of
the derivative’s fair value gains or losses is deferred in the
cash flow hedge reserve as part of Other comprehensive
income (OCI), and subsequently recognised in the income
statement at the time at which the hedged item affects
the income statement for the hedged risk. For segment
reporting, derivatives are accounted for on an accrual basis
in the results of the Operating Groups to the extent that the
Corporate segment manages the derivative volatility, either
through the application of hedge accounting or where the
derivative volatility may offset the volatility of other positions
managed within the Corporate segment.
Central Service Groups
The Central Service Groups provide a range of functions
supporting Macquarie’s Operating Groups, ensuring they
have the appropriate workplace support and systems to
operate effectively and the necessary resources to meet
their regulatory, compliance, financial reporting, legal and risk
management requirements.
Central Service Groups recover their costs from Operating
Groups generally on either a time and effort allocation basis
or a fee for service basis. Central Service Groups include the
Corporate Operations Group (COG), Financial Management
Group (FMG), Risk Management Group (RMG), Legal and
Governance and Central Executive.
Performance‑related profit share and share‑based
payments expense
Performance-related profit share and share-based payments
expense relating to the Macquarie Group Employee Retained
Equity Plan (MEREP) are recognised in the Corporate segment
and not allocated to Operating Groups.

The 2021 interim and 2020 final dividends paid during the year were franked at 40%, based on tax paid at 30% (2020 interim
dividend franked at 40% based on tax paid at 30%; 2019 final dividend franked at 45% based on tax paid at 30%). The dividends
paid to the holders of the exchangeable shares were not franked (refer to Note 27 Contributed equity for information on
exchangeable shares).
The Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) remains active. The DRP is optional and offers ordinary shareholders in
Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to acquire fully paid ordinary shares without transaction costs. A shareholder can
elect to participate in or terminate their involvement in the DRP at any time. Equity Shares issued by the Consolidated Entity in
the current year (equity shares purchased from the market and reissued in earlier periods) were allocated as fully paid ordinary
shares pursuant to the DRP, details of which are included in Note 27 Contributed equity and Note 29 Notes to the statements
of cash flows.
(ii) Dividends not recognised at the end of the financial year
Since the end of the financial year, the Directors have resolved to pay a final dividend of $3.35 per fully paid ordinary share, 40%
franked based on tax paid at 30%. The aggregate amount of the proposed dividend expected to be paid on 2 July 2021 from
retained profits, but not recognised as a liability at the end of the year is $1,211 million(2). This amount has been estimated based
on the number of shares and MEREP awards eligible to participate as at 31 March 2021.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to ordinary equity holders
(adjusted by profit attributable to the dilutive potential ordinary shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares and potential ordinary shares that would be issued on the exchange of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into
ordinary shares.

Of the above amounts, $27,422 million (2020: $27,811 million) is expected to be recovered within 12 months of the balance date
by the Consolidated Entity.
Loan assets continue to represent the Consolidated Entity’s most significant component of credit exposures on which
expected credit losses (ECL) allowances are carried. The credit quality of the Consolidated Entity’s loan assets, which are
monitored through its credit policies, is reported under Note 36.1 Credit risk.
The carrying value of the exposure in the corporate, commercial and other lending segments reduced in the current year as a
result of repayments and the impact of the stronger Australian dollar, partially offset by new originations. Repayments, lower
drawdowns and the impact of the stronger Australian dollar contributed to the reduction in the asset financing segment during
the current year.
Repossessed collateral
In the event of a customer default, the Consolidated Entity may either take possession of the underlying collateral held as
security and/or exercise its right to dispose of the customer’s asset. At the reporting date the Consolidated Entity did not have
any material amounts of such collateral recognised in its Statement of financial position.
Finance lease receivables
Finance lease receivables are included within loan assets. The Consolidated Entity provides finance leases to a broad range of
clients to support financing needs in acquiring movable assets such as motor vehicles, small plant and equipment, electronic
and IT equipment. Finance lease receivables do not include retail products such as hire purchase, mortgages related to movable
property and consumer loans. The following table represents the maturity profile of the contractual undiscounted cashflows of

stage II exposures will suggest an increase in credit risk, it
should not necessarily be inferred that the assets are of a
lower credit quality.
Retail exposures
Exposures are assigned a behavioural score which considers
the exposures’ lifetime PD on initial recognition. This
behavioural score is periodically assessed and updated to
reflect changes in the underlying exposures’ credit behaviour.
SICR movement thresholds between origination and
reporting date for behavioural score movements have been
established that, where exceeded, result in the exposure
being categorised as stage II.
Wholesale exposures
The Consolidated Entity assigns an internal credit rating to
each exposure at origination based on information available
at that date. These internal ratings are broadly aligned to
external credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s
and Moody’s.
Where an exposures’ assigned credit rating deteriorates
beyond pre-defined thresholds, the exposure is categorised
as stage II. The methodology has been calibrated so that a
larger change in rating is required for higher quality credit
rated exposures than for lower quality credit rated exposures
to be classified as stage II.
For both retail and wholesale portfolios:
• the AASB 9 ‘low credit risk’ exemption is not applied by the
Consolidated Entity to material portfolios
• for material retail portfolios, the credit risk for an exposure
or portfolio is generally deemed to have increased
significantly if the exposure is more than 30 days past
due, unless there are product specific characteristics that
indicate that this threshold should be rebutted.
Definition of default
The Consolidated Entity’s definition of default determines
the reference point for the calculation of the ECL
components, and in particular the PD. Default is generally
defined as the point when the borrower is unlikely to
pay its credit obligations in full, without recourse by the
Consolidated Entity to the realisation of collateral; or the
borrower is 90 days or more past due.
The Consolidated Entity periodically monitors its exposures
for potential indicators of default such as significant
financial difficulty of the borrower including breaches of
lending covenants; it is probable that the borrower will
enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the
disappearance of an active market for that financial asset
because of financial difficulties; or the purchase or origination
of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the
incurred credit losses.
Note 13
Expected credit losses
The Consolidated Entity models the ECL for on-balance sheet
financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVOCI such
as loans, debt securities and lease receivables, as well as
off-balance sheet items such as undrawn loan commitments,
certain financial guarantee contracts and letters of credit.
Model inputs
The Consolidated Entity segments its credit portfolio
between retail and wholesale exposures, and further splits
these portfolios into representative groupings which are
typically based on shared risk characteristics.
The Consolidated Entity has developed several models to
predict the ECL. These models incorporate a range of inputs
notably that of Exposure at Default (EAD), Probability of
Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) (‘credit inputs’) as
well as Forward-Looking Information (FLI).
For retail portfolios, behavioural variables are also considered
in the determination of inputs for ECL modelling.
The key model inputs used in measuring the ECL include:
• exposure at default (EAD): The EAD represents the
estimated exposure in the event of a default
• probability of default (PD): The calculation of PDs for
retail and wholesale exposures is generally performed
at a facility level. Retail exposures are segmented based
on product type and shared characteristics that are
highly correlated to credit risk such as region, product,
counterparty groupings, loan-to-value ratio (LVR) and
other similar criteria. Wholesale portfolio PDs are a
function of industry type, internal credit ratings and
transition matrices used to determine a point in time
PD estimate. PD estimates for both retail and wholesale
portfolios are also adjusted for FLI
• loss given default (LGD): The LGD associated with the PD
used is the magnitude of the ECL in a default event. The
LGD is estimated using historical loss rates considering
relevant factors for individual exposures or portfolios.
Method of determining significant increase in
credit risk (SICR)
The Consolidated Entity periodically assesses exposures
to determine whether there has been a SICR, which may
be evidenced by either qualitative or quantitative factors.
Qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, whether an
exposure has been identified and placed on CreditWatch, an
internal credit monitoring mechanism supervised by the credit
watch management committee to closely monitor exposures
showing signs of stress. All exposures on CreditWatch are
classified as stage II or, if defaulted, as stage III.
SICR thresholds, which require judgement, are used to
determine whether an exposure’s credit risk has increased
significantly. The SICR methodology is based on a relative
credit risk approach which considers changes in an underlying
exposures’ credit risk since origination. This may result in
exposures being classified in stage II that are of a higher
credit quality than other similar exposures that are classified
as stage I. Accordingly, while increases in the quantum of

Expected credit losses continued
Forward‑looking information (FLI)
The inclusion of FLI in calculating ECL allowances adjusts
the PD, the determination of SICR as well as the LGD (that
is relevant to the determination of the recovery rates on
collateral). The predicted relationships between these key
indicators and the key model inputs in measuring the ECL
have been developed by analysing historical data as part of
the development of internal models, and the calibration and
validation process.
The Consolidated Entity applies its professional judgement
in determining whether there are any inherent risks in the
models’ predictive outcomes. These overlays consider the
risk that losses predicted to occur at points of particular
economic stress, which have since been passed, are yet to
occur and that uncertainty exists as to whether enhanced
levels of government and other-related support measures
may cause the loss emergence profile to differ to that for
which the models have been calibrated. These overlays also
account for the risk that underlying credit risk events have
occurred but observable modelled inputs are yet to reflect
those events, as well as risks that are specific to regional,
counterparties or industries which are difficult to account for
within the modelled outcomes. Overtime the credit models
are recalibrated to enhance the predictive capability. At the
reporting date this overlay was approximately $450 million.
These judgements are reviewed by FMG and RMG at each
reporting date.
RMG is responsible for the FLI including the development of
scenarios and the weighting applied to those scenarios. For
this purpose, three possible economic scenarios have been
developed, being an upside, downside and base case scenario.
In calculating the ECL, each of the scenarios is probability
weighted and then applied to the exposures’ PDs and LGDs.
The scenarios have been developed using a combination
of publicly available data, internal forecasts and
third-party information to form the initial baseline. Internal
specialists within the Consolidated Entity are consulted
to assist in refining and challenging the baseline and the
alternate scenarios. For the current reporting period the
Consolidated Entity has continued to anchor the upside and
downside scenarios with COVID-19 as the key driver of the
macroeconomic outlook.
The general shape of the economic recovery varies within
each scenario and is outlined in further detail in the
following section.
Refinement of the scenarios includes benchmarking to
external data from reputable sources, which includes
forecasts published from a range of market economists and
official data sources, including major central banks,
when available.
Where limited official data sources against which to
benchmark key economic indicators on a forward-looking
basis is available, management exercises judgement when
determining the duration, severity and impact of the
macroeconomic scenarios used by the Consolidated Entity.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Assigning probabilities to these scenarios requires
professional judgement which draws on internal risk and
economics specialist input and comparison to general market
outlooks and publicly available market commentary.
The scenarios and the associated probabilities are ultimately
approved by senior risk and finance executives.
The scenarios for each of the key regions where Macquarie’s
ECL is derived have been set out below. Noting the wide
range of possible scenarios and macroeconomic outcomes,
and the continuing uncertainty of how COVID-19 and
its social and economic consequences will flow, these
scenarios represent plausible forward-looking views as at the
reporting date.
These scenarios impact the modelled ECL provisioning
levels through determination of probabilities of default and
determination of losses that may be incurred should a default
occur. The ability of borrowers to service their obligations
through personal or business income is generally estimated
using unemployment rates, GDP, commodity prices and
interest rates. The losses that the Consolidated Entity may
incur should a default occur and the collateral utilised is
generally estimated through property price and share price
index outlooks.
The modelled ECL for each scenario is sensitive to the speed
and resilience of post-COVID-19 economic normalisation, and
the longevity of monetary and fiscal intervention, as these
influence both the probability of default, and the value of
collateral that may be utilised.
Future economic conditions may differ to the scenarios
outlined, the impact of which will be accounted for in future
reporting periods.

Global: The baseline assumes the global economic recovery continues through the first
half of 2021, helped by the continuation of localised health policies and enduring fiscal
and monetary stimulus across most economies. Job retention schemes and other policy
measures are expected to ease gradually through 2021 as recoveries take hold, ensuring that
official unemployment rates remain stable as economic activity returns gradually towards
normalised levels. In developed markets outside Europe, GDP is expected to return to
pre-COVID-19 levels by mid-2021.
Australia: The Australian economy is expected to recover ahead of other economies having
experienced a relatively small contraction in 2020. Equity markets are expected to continue
to stabilise and return to modest growth reaching pre-COVID-19 peaks at the end of 2021.
With localised restrictions generally eased, unemployment rates continue to fall from a peak
of 7.1% in mid-2020 declining to ~5% by the end of 2022. House prices increase by 8% in 2021,
supported by low rates as the RBA maintains the cash rate at historic lows until 2023.
United States: The unemployment rate continues to fall from its high of ~13% in the first
half of 2020, albeit at a slowing pace remaining above pre-COVID-19 levels, reaching ~5% in
early 2022. US GDP contracted by ~10% in the first half of 2020 but is expected to return
to pre-COVID-19 levels in the second quarter of 2021 fuelled by robust stimulus measures.
10-year government bond yields are expected to remain at historical lows while equities
trend higher.
Europe: European GDP is not expected to recover to pre-COVID-19 levels until the second
half of 2022. The unemployment rate is expected to peak at ~9% in mid-2021 and return
slowly to pre-COVID-19 levels of ~7% by 2025. The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to
maintain its policy rate in slightly negative territory.

(2020: $1,200 million)(1)
Global: The downside assumes the COVID-19 recovery is more protracted as fresh outbreaks
trigger renewed lockdown measures, while delayed or ineffectual vaccination programmes
fail are unable to facilitate a return to pre-COVID economic environments. The impact
to global economic output is significantly less than the initial wave in early 2020, but the
recovery trajectory is slow as low interest rates and limited fiscal capacity constrain the
scope for further stimulus. Employment rates in this scenario stagnate at elevated levels
across developed markets throughout 2021. With equity markets reversing much of their
gains in 2021 as it becomes clear that recovery will be more prolonged.
Australia: Returning to recession in 2021, the downward trend in unemployment rates ends
and remains above 6% (~1% above pre-COVID-19 levels) until mid-2023. Australian GDP in this
scenario would return to pre-COVID-19 levels in mid-2022 and growth rates would remain
modest thereafter. House prices may continue to rise by 3% in 2021 before correcting sharply
in 2022, falling by 8% and not recovering to pre-pandemic levels until late 2024. The RBA
would maintain the cash rate at historic lows until the end of 2024.
United States: GDP growth briefly tips into negative territory in the second half of 2021 but
avoids the severe shocks of 2020, ultimately restoring pre-pandemic output by early 2022.
The declining unemployment rate reverses only modestly but remains at ~6% and above into
late 2022 at ~2.5% above the pre-COVID-19 levels. 10-year government bond yields remain
below 1% for the forecast period and central bank rates are kept at all-time lows until 2025.
Europe: Hardest-hit of developed markets, European GDP stagnates through 2021, with GDP
remaining ~5% below pre-COVID-19 levels at the end of 2021, only returning to pre-pandemic
highs in 2025. Increases in the unemployment rate are contained by fiscal measures though
the rate remains slightly above pre-COVID-19 levels at 8-9% through to 2025. The ECB
maintains interest rates in negative territory for the forecast period.
Global: The scenario assumes swift results through medical developments allows for a
faster removal of restrictions without triggering subsequent outbreaks of COVID-19, enabling
normalisation and the release of pent-up demand. Governments and central banks would
gradually ease accommodative monetary and fiscal policies without economic harm in
this scenario.
The growth trajectory is steeper and maintained, allowing for the removal of active stimulus
by governments and central banks without prompting reversals. Global GDP surpasses
pre-COVID-19 levels by mid-2021 facilitating higher employment and stimulating commodity
prices. Equity markets also rally, driven by the positive economic and health developments,
and continued support from monetary policy.
Australia: GDP surpasses pre-COVID-19 levels by mid-2021 and continues to grow at upwards
of 3% annually through to 2024. The uptick in economic activity segues with the withdrawal
of job retention schemes, while unemployment rates fall to 5% by the end of 2021 and
continue to fall as low as 4.5%. House prices respond to this improved outlook and increase
sharply by ~9% in 2021 and 6% in 2022.

The Company’s ECL provision primarily relates to a $19 million (March 2020: $37 million) provision on related party receivables of
$19,260 million (March 2020: $29,466 million) that are presented as Due from Subsidiaries in the Statement of financial position
and certain off balance sheet exposures of $4,402 million (March 2020: $5,877 million). Change in the ECL allowance is primarily
due to the decrease in underlying exposures during the year as well as decrease in PD due to improved ratings.

Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation
The Consolidated Entity holds a 16.11% interest in Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC) under the MAM Operating Group
and accounts for it as an interest in associate on the basis of exercising significant influence through its advisory contract,
Board representation and secondment of key management. MIC owns, operates and invests in a portfolio of infrastructure
businesses and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
During the financial year, indicators of impairment reversal have been identified which resulted in the Consolidated Entity
calculating the investment’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount has been determined using management’s estimate
of the future risk-adjusted cash flows with significant inputs including net proceeds on realisation of the remaining portfolio
businesses. Both the investment’s fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value-in-use (VIU) resulted in a $125 million
impairment reversal, which was recognised in the income statement as part of net Other impairment charges.
(1)
Includes investments in Macquarie-managed funds of $1,076 million (2020: $1,185 million). The Consolidated Entity classifies its investments in these funds as equity-accounted
associates where it has a less than 20% ownership interest on the basis of its ability to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions through its role as manager.
(2) Excludes credit losses of $31 million (2020: $62 million) which have been recognised on loans to associates classified as FVOCI. The loans are measured at fair value through OCI hence
these expected credit losses have also been recognised in reserves.
(3) Comprises $3,039 million (2020: $6,959 million) relating to interests in associates and $1,155 million (2020: $1,360 million) relating to interests in joint ventures.
(4) Financial statements of associates and joint ventures have various reporting dates which have been adjusted to align with the Consolidated Entity’s reporting date.
(5) The comparative disclosures have been presented to align with Macquarie’s principal associates at the reporting date.

Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Note 14
Interests in associates and joint ventures continued
Macquarie AirFinance Limited
During the prior year, the Consolidated Entity disposed of its Macquarie AirFinance Limited (MAF) under the MAM Operating
Group to a newly formed joint venture of which the Consolidated Entity held a 75% interest (Refer to Note 42 Acquisitions and
disposals of subsidiaries and businesses). Subsequently, the Consolidated Entity disposed of a 25% interest in the joint venture
and the remaining 50% retained interest was classified as an equity-accounted associate due to retaining significant influence.
MAF continues to be impacted by a global reduction in airline movements due to COVID-19 resulting in a drop in cash
collections following deferrals and non-payments. As a result, an impairment analysis on an aircraft-by-aircraft basis was
undertaken by MAF. Each aircraft’s recoverable value, being the higher of its VIU and its fair value less costs of disposal, was
determined and compared to its book value. The cash flows included in the VIU assessment considered the circumstances
of each lessee and its impact on contracted lease revenue, unleased aircraft, the probability of leases being extended, the
time that an aircraft is off-lease, future lease rates and disposal proceeds. The fair value less costs of disposal was determined
with reference to independent appraisal values for each aircraft. MAF recognised an impairment for each aircraft where the
recoverable value was less than carrying value.
The recoverable value of the Consolidated Entity’s investment in MAF, after accounting for the above-mentioned
equity-accounted loss, was also considered. The investment’s VIU was determined using the income approach where significant
inputs included forecasts over the timing and amount of distributions, and the terminal value of the investment beyond the
forecast period. The investment’s fair value less costs of disposal was determined with reference to the current market value of
the net assets of MAF.
Changes in the carrying value of the investment during the year as a result of the appreciation of the Australian dollar against
the United States dollar are accounted for in the Consolidated Entity’s foreign currency translation and net investment hedge
reserve, together with applicable hedges.

The above amounts are expected to be recovered after 12 months of the balance date by the Consolidated Entity.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives comprises of $926 million (2020: $1,239 million) related to the Consolidated
Entity’s integrated consolidated businesses and $667 million (2020: $815 million) related to the Consolidated Entity’s subsidiaries
held for investment purposes.(1)
The recoverable amount was determined on the basis of the asset or cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell. This
measurement basis for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives was determined with reference to external valuations
or using Discounted Cashflow methodologies, in which case the key assumptions included discount rates ranging from 8%-13%,
forecasted cashflows and long term growth rate information specific to the underlying asset or cash generating unit.
Further, there were no significant impairment indicators for Customer and servicing contracts, Management rights and licenses
and Other identifiable intangible assets at the balance sheet date.

In accordance with its accounting policies, the Company reviewed its investments in subsidiaries for indicators of impairment and, where applicable, reversal of impairment. Where
its investments had indicators of impairment, the investments’ carrying value was compared to its recoverable value which was determined as the higher of VIU and fair value less
cost to sell (valuation). The valuations, which are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (as defined in Note 38 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities), have been
calculated using a valuation technique with significant inputs including the subsidiary’s maintainable earnings, growth rates and relevant earnings’ multiples. Taking into account the
valuations and broader macroeconomic risks, no impairment loss or reversal of previously recognised impairment losses was recognised by the Company during the year.
(2) Within the Non-Bank Group, MFHPL is the holding company for Macquarie Capital and Macquarie Transportation business of MAM.
(3) Within the Non-Bank Group, MAMH is the holding company for MAM business (except for Macquarie Transportation business and certain other excluded assets).

The above amounts are expected to be recovered after 12 months of the balance date by the Consolidated Entity and
the Company.
Potential tax assets of approximately $389 million (2020: $436 million) attributable to tax losses carried forward by subsidiaries
and other timing differences have not been brought to account in the Consolidated Entity as the Directors do not believe that
the realisation of the tax assets is probable. Included in this amount are gross losses of $34 million (2020: $71 million) that will
expire within two years, $80 million (2020: $64 million) that will expire in 2–5 years, $109 million (2020: $96 million) that will expire
in 5–10 years and $261 million (2020: $331 million) that will expire in 10–20 years. $1,060 million (2020: $1,555 million) do not expire
and can be carried forward indefinitely.

Note 25
Capital management strategy
The Consolidated Entity’s and the Company’s capital
management strategy is to maximise shareholder value
through optimising the level and use of capital resources,
whilst also providing the flexibility to take advantage of
opportunities as they may arise.
The Consolidated Entity’s capital management
objectives are to:
• continue to support the Consolidated Entity’s credit rating
• ensure sufficient capital resources to support the
Consolidated Entity’s business and operational
requirements
• maintain sufficient capital to exceed externally imposed
capital requirements
• safeguard the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a
going concern.
The Consolidated Entity’s capital management strategy uses
both internal and external measures of capital. Internally,
the Consolidated Entity has developed an Economic Capital
Adequacy Model (ECAM) that is used to quantify the
Consolidated Entity’s aggregate level of risk. The economic
capital framework complements the management of specific
risk types such as equity, credit, market and operational risk
by providing an aggregate view of the Consolidated Entity’s
risk profile. The economic capital model is used to support
business decision-making and has three main applications:
• capital adequacy assessment
• risk appetite setting
• risk-adjusted performance measurement.
The Consolidated Entity is subject to minimum capital
requirements externally imposed by Australian Prudential
Regulation Authority (APRA).
A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, MBL, is
accredited by APRA to apply the Basel III Foundation
Internal Ratings Based Approach (FIRB) for credit risk, the
Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operational
risk, the internal model approach for market risk and the
internal model approach for interest rate risk in the banking
book (IRRBB).
Regulatory capital requirements are measured at three
levels of consolidation within the Consolidated Entity. MBL
and certain subsidiaries which meet the APRA definition of
Extended Licensed Entities are reported as Level 1. Level 2
consists of MBL, its subsidiaries and its immediate parent
less certain subsidiaries of MBL which are deconsolidated
for APRA reporting purposes. These include entities
conducting insurance, funds management and non-financial
operations. Level 3 consists of the Level 2 group, other bank
entities excluded from Level 2 plus the Non-Bank Group. In
determining the capital requirements, transactions internal
to the Consolidated Entity are eliminated.
As an APRA authorised and regulated Non-Operating Holding
Company (NOHC), the Company is required to maintain
minimum regulatory capital calculated as the sum of:
• MBL’s minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, based on a
percentage of RWA plus Tier 1 deductions using prevailing
APRA ADI Prudential Standards
• the Non-Bank Group capital requirement, using the
Consolidated Entity’s ECAM.
The Consolidated Entity’s Level 3 eligible capital consists of
ordinary equity, certain reserves and hybrid instruments.
The overall Level 3 capital position is reported as an
excess over the regulatory imposed minimum capital
adequacy requirement.
The Consolidated Entity has satisfied all internally and
externally imposed capital requirements at Level 1, Level 2
and Level 3 throughout the financial year.

Award Types under the MEREP
Restricted Share Units (RSUs)
An RSU is a beneficial interest in an MGL ordinary share held on behalf of a MEREP participant by the plan trustee (Trustee).
The participant is entitled to receive dividends on the share and direct the Trustee how to exercise voting rights of the share.
The participant also has the right to request the release of the share from the MEREP Trust, subject to the vesting and
forfeiture provisions of the MEREP.

A DSU represents the right to receive on exercise of the DSU either a share held in the Trust or a newly issued share (as
determined by the Company in its absolute discretion) for no cash payment, subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions of
the MEREP. A MEREP participant holding a DSU has no right or interest in any share until the DSU is exercised. The Company
may issue shares to the Trustee or direct the Trustee to acquire shares on-market, or via a share acquisition arrangement for
potential future allocations to holders of DSUs.
Generally, where permitted by law, DSUs will provide for cash payments in lieu of dividends paid on MGL ordinary shares before
the DSU is exercised. Further, the number of shares underlying a DSU will be adjusted upon any bonus issue or other capital
reconstruction of the Company in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, so that the holder of a DSU does not receive a benefit
that holders of the Company’s shares do not generally receive. These provisions are intended to provide the holders of DSUs,
as far as possible, with the same benefits and risks as holders of RSUs. However, holders of DSUs will have no voting rights with
respect to any underlying MGL ordinary shares.
DSUs will only be offered in jurisdictions where legal or tax rules make the grant of RSUs impractical, or where PSUs are
structured as DSUs (see PSUs). DSUs have been granted with an expiry period of up to nine years.

vesting period for the award. For example, staff in jurisdictions outside Australia may have a different vesting period due to local
regulatory requirements.
For Retained Profit Share awards representing 2020 retention, the allocation price was the weighted average price of the
shares issued for the 2020 issue period, which was 25 May 2020 to 5 June 2020. That price was calculated to be $112.15
(2019 retention: $122.37).
(1) Vesting will occur during an eligible staff trading window.

Performance Share Units (PSUs)
PSUs will only be released or become exercisable upon the achievement of certain performance hurdles. Only members of the
MGL and MBL Executive Committees are eligible to receive PSUs. For the PSUs allocated to Executive Committee Members,
two performance hurdles have been determined and each will apply individually to 50% of the total number of PSUs awarded.
Hurdles are periodically reviewed by the Board Remuneration Committee (BRC) to ensure they continue to align the interests
of staff and shareholders and provide a challenging but meaningful incentive to Executive Committee members. The BRC
considers historical and forecast market data, the views of corporate governance bodies, shareholders and regulators as well as
market practice. No change has been made to the hurdles for this financial year.
The hurdles are outlined below.
Performance hurdle 1
Hurdle
50% of the PSUs based solely on the relative average annual return
on ordinary equity (ROE) over the vesting period compared to a
reference group of global financial institutions.
A sliding scale applies with 50% becoming exercisable above
the 50th percentile and 100% vesting at the 75th percentile.
Performance hurdle 2
Hurdle
50% of the PSUs based solely on the compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) in earnings per share (EPS) over the vesting period.
REFERENCE GROUP
The current reference group comprises Bank of America
Corporation, Barclays PLC, Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche
Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
Lazard Limited, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG.
REQUIRED RESULT
A sliding scale applies with 50% becoming exercisable at EPS
CAGR of 7.5% and 100% at EPS CAGR of 12%. For example,
if EPS CAGR were 9.75%, 75% of the relevant awards would
become exercisable.
Under both performance hurdles, the objective is examined once only. Testing occurs annually on 30 June immediately before
vesting on 1 July, based on the most recent financial year-end results available. To the extent that a condition is not met when
examined, the PSUs due to vest will not be exercisable upon vesting, resulting in no benefit to Executive Committee members.
RSUs and DSUs are measured at their grant dates based on their fair value (1) and for each PSU, the awards expected to vest
are measured on the basis of the assumptions below. This amount is recognised as an expense evenly over the respective
vesting periods.
RSUs, DSUs and PSUs relating to the MEREP plan for Executive Committee members have been granted in the current financial
year in respect of the 2020 performance. The accounting fair value of each of these grants is estimated using the Company’s share
price on the date of grant and for each PSU also incorporates a discounted cash flow method using the following key assumptions:
• interest rate to maturity: 0.2023% per annum
• expected vesting dates of PSUs: 1 July 2024
• dividend yield: 4.33% per annum.
While RSUs DSUs, and PSUs (for Executive Committee members) for FY2021 will be granted during the FY2022, the Company
begins recognising an expense for these awards (based on an initial estimate) from 1 April 2020 related to these future grants.
The expense is estimated using the estimated MEREP retention for FY2021 and applying the amortisation profile to the
retained amount.
For PSUs, the estimate also incorporates an interest rate to maturity of 0.44% per annum, expected vesting dates of PSUs
of 1 July 2025, and a dividend yield of 3.96% per annum. In the following financial year, the Consolidated Entity will adjust the
accumulated expense recognised for the final determination of fair value for each RSU, DSU and PSU when granted and will use
this valuation for recognising the expense over the remaining vesting period.
The Consolidated Entity annually reviews its estimates of the number of awards (including those delivered through MEREP) that
are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the employment expenses in the
income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity (for equity settled awards), or a corresponding adjustment to
liabilities (for cash settled awards).
(1) For employees categorised as Material Risk Takers who are required to comply with the European Banking Authority Guidelines on the CRD IV remuneration requirements, the fair
value of the awards granted for performance periods after 1 April 2019 has been adjusted to take into account the prohibition of dividends on unvested awards.

Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Note 32
Employee equity participation continued
Performance Share Units (PSUs) continued
For the financial year ended 31 March 2021, compensation
expense relating to the MEREP totalled $579,198 thousand
(2020: $583,161 thousand).
For the equity settled awards, the estimated future
withholding tax outflow is $391,480 thousand (2020:
$197,947 thousand).
Employee Share Plan
The Consolidated Entity continues to operate the Macquarie
Group Employee Share Plan (ESP) whereby each financial
year eligible employees are offered up to $1,000 worth of
fully paid MGL ordinary shares for no cash consideration.
Shares allocated under the ESP cannot be sold until the
earlier of three years after allocation or the time when the
participant is no longer employed by the Consolidated Entity.
In all other respects, shares allocated rank equally with all
other fully paid ordinary shares then on issue.
The latest offer under the ESP was made during November
2020. A total of 1,902 (2020: 1,531) staff participated in
this offer.
On 9 December 2020, the participants were each allocated
7 (2020: 7) fully paid ordinary shares based on the offer
amount of $1,000 and the average market share price of
$139.70 (2020: $136.37); resulting in a total of 13,314 (2020:
10,717) shares being allocated. The shares were allocated
to staff for no cash consideration. The aggregate value of
the shares allocated was deducted from staff profit share
and commissions.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2021, compensation
expense relating to the ESP totalled $1,860 thousand (2020:
$1,446 thousand).

longer granted under the Macquarie Group Employee Share
Option Plan and no options are outstanding.
Other plans
The Consolidated Entity operates other local share-based
compensation plans, none of which, individually or in
aggregate are material.
Shares issued/purchased on‑market for the purpose of an

off-market transfer from its employees during the Staff
Trading window) for MEREP. A further 13,314 shares were
issued for the ESP (2020: 10,717 shares were purchased
on-market). The average price of all share issued during
the financial year was $112.22 (2020: $122.40 for shares
purchased) and the average price of the purchases made
on-market was $Nil (2020: $125.02).

The Consolidated Entity and the Company operates in a number of regulated markets and is subject to regular regulatory
reviews and inquiries. From time to time these may result in litigation, fines or other regulatory enforcement actions. At the
reporting date there are no matters of this nature which are expected to result in a material economic outflow of resources
that has not been provided for. The Consolidated Entity and the Company considers the probability of there being a material
adverse effect in respect of litigation or claims that have not been provided for to be remote.
(1) The Company includes guarantees to counterparties with respect to their exposures to certain subsidiaries. These guarantees have a maximum value of $6,270 million (2020: $7,898 million)
with the amount disclosed in the table above being the component of that guarantee value equivalent to the fair value of the underlying risk position at the reporting date.
(2) It is not practicable to ascertain the timing of any outflow and the possibility of any reimbursement related to these contingent liabilities.
(3) Undrawn credit facilities are irrevocably extended to clients. These amounts include fully or partially undrawn commitments that are legally binding and cannot be unconditionally

Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued
Note 34
Structured entities
The Consolidated Entity engages with structured entities
(SEs) for securitisation, asset backed financing and other
businesses in order to diversify its sources of funding for
asset origination and capital efficiency purposes. SEs are
designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant
factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when
any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and
the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual
arrangements. Generally, SEs do not have a range of
operating and financing activities for which substantive
decision making is required continuously.
Securitisations
Securitisations involve transferring assets into a vehicle that
sells beneficial interests to investors through the issue of
debt and equity notes with varying levels of subordination.
The notes are collateralised by the assets transferred to
these vehicles and pay a return based on the returns of those
assets, with residual returns paid to the most subordinated
investor. These vehicles are created for securitising assets,
including mortgages and finance leases of the Consolidated
Entity or of its clients.
The Consolidated Entity may serve as a sponsor, servicer,
underwriter, liquidity provider, derivative counterparty,
purchaser of notes and/or purchaser of residual income units.
The Consolidated Entity may also provide redraw facilities or
loan commitments to securitisation vehicles.
Asset‑backed financing
Asset-backed vehicles are used to provide tailored lending
for the purchase or lease of assets transferred by the
Consolidated Entity or its clients. The assets are normally
pledged as collateral to the lenders. The Consolidated
Entity engages in raising finance for assets such as vessels,
electronic and IT equipment.
Other
Other includes structured entities established to raise
financing and fulfil obligations for prepaid commodity
delivery contracts. The Consolidated Entity has contractually
guaranteed the performance obligation under these
arrangements. Certain Macquarie-managed funds also
represent Structured entities.
Consolidated Structured Entities
The Consolidated Entity may act as a lender, manager,
derivative counterparty, purchaser of notes and/or purchaser
of residual income units or guarantor.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Interests held in unconsolidated structured entities
Interests in unconsolidated SEs include, but are not limited
to, debt and equity investments, guarantees, liquidity
agreements, commitments, fees from investment structures,
and fees from derivative instruments that expose the
Consolidated Entity to the risks of the unconsolidated SE.
Interests do not include plain vanilla derivatives (for example
interest rate swaps and currency swaps) and positions where
the Consolidated Entity:
• creates rather than absorbs variability of the
unconsolidated SE (for example purchase of credit
protection under a credit default swap)
• acts as underwriter or placement agent, or provides
administrative, trustee or other services to third party
managed SEs
• transfers assets and does not have any other interest
deemed to be significant in the SE.
Income received by the Consolidated Entity during the
financial year from interests held at the reporting date relates
to interest, management fees, servicing fees, dividends and
gains or losses from revaluing financial instruments.

The Consolidated Entity’s interests in Macquarie-managed funds, include investments, receivables, contract assets, and
undrawn commitments, which represents the Consolidated Entity’s maximum exposure to loss. The Assets under Management
(AUM) of $562 billion (2020: $598 billion) represents the indicative size of these funds and is measured as the proportional
ownership interest in the underlying assets of funds and mandated assets that Macquarie actively manages or advises on.
In certain cases the Consolidated Entity invests alongside its own managed funds to demonstrate further alignment with
investors. The funds invest in assets that include: infrastructure and renewables, real estate, agriculture, transportation finance,
equities, fixed income, private credit and multi-asset solutions. The carrying value of the Consolidated Entity’s investments in
managed funds is disclosed in Note 14 Interest in associates and joint ventures. Other interests in these managed funds, which
include receivables, contract assets, and undrawn commitments are disclosed in Note 30 Related party information. Where the
Consolidated Entity does not invest in managed funds, the interests are largely in the nature of receivables and contract assets
in relation to asset management services which are generally paid quarterly.
The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to securitisation entities in the nature of trading assets, derivatives and debt financial
investment positions are acquired for the purpose of trading and liquidity management and are typically managed under
market risk described in Note 36.3 Market risk. For these reasons, information on the size and structure for these SEs is not
considered meaningful for understanding the related risks, and so have not been presented.
In respect of the Consolidated Entity’s loan assets’ exposure in securitisation and asset backed financing entities, the total size
of the unconsolidated SEs is $32,075 million (2020: $6,853 million). Size represents either the total assets of the SE (measured
either at amortised cost excluding impairments or fair values if readily available); outstanding notional of issued notes or the
principal amount of liabilities if there is nominal equity. Size is based on the most current publicly available information to the
Consolidated Entity.
(1)
Includes non-investment grade interests of $89 million (2020: $182 million) in securitisation activities and $1,211 million (2020: $1,521 million) in asset-backed financing activities. Of
these non-investment grade interests in asset backed financing activities, the potential loss borne by holders of notes whose interests rank lower is $Nil (2020: $164 million).
(2) Maximum exposure to loss is the carrying value of debt, equity and derivatives held and the undrawn amount for commitments.
(3) Excludes $2,905 million (2020: $3,640 million) of guarantees provided by the Company in respect of a subsidiary to fulfil its obligations for certain prepaid commodity contracts
towards unconsolidated structured entities. On consolidation these guarantees are accounted for as part of borrowings that represent the subsidiary’s obligations in terms of these
commodity contracts.

Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
IBOR reform
The Consolidated Entity designates hedging relationships
where the hedged item and/or hedging instrument reference
IBOR. These rates are being transitioned to alternative
reference rates (ARRs) as described in Note 1 Basis of
preparation and Note 36 Financial risk management. IBOR
reform primarily impacts the Consolidated Entity’s hedge
relationships referencing USD LIBOR and GBP LIBOR. The
hedge relationships disclosed as impacted by IBOR reform
includes all those referencing transitioning LIBOR rates at the
reporting date and includes relationships that are expected
to expire before mandatory transition to ARRs. The majority
of these derivatives are subject to the ISDA Fallbacks
Protocol for converting LIBORs to ARRs plus a spread when
an index cessation event occurs.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) announcement
on the future cessation and loss of representativeness of
LIBOR benchmarks on 5 March 2021 constituted such an
index cessation event which fixed the spread adjustment
to be applied to such derivative contracts upon fallback.
Despite the announcement uncertainty remains with respect
to the timing of transition of the IBOR-based cash flows of
these hedging instruments. As markets continue to develop,
regulators continue to monitor the progress of transition
and have encouraged the proactive transition of positions
from IBORs to ARRs rather than reliance on fallback clauses.
As a result, the relief afforded to the Consolidated Entity
under AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 1
relief), which was early adopted during the 31 March 2020
financial year, continues to apply. Certain hedge accounting
relationships have transitioned to ARRs during the current
period and consequently the Consolidated Entity has made
use of the relief provided by AASB 2020-8 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark
Reform (Phase 2 relief) to amend the formal designation of
these hedging relationships.
Note 35
Hedge accounting
Hedging strategy
The use of derivative and non-derivative instruments to
economically hedge non-traded positions potentially gives
rise to income statement volatility as a result of mismatches
in the accounting treatment between the derivative and
non-derivative instruments and the related exposure.
The Consolidated Entity’s objective is to reduce the risk
of volatility in earnings. This volatility may be managed
by allowing hedges to naturally offset one another or, where
the earnings volatility exceeds pre-defined thresholds, hedge
accounting is considered.
Hedging instruments
Detail on hedging instruments, the nature of hedged risks,
as well as the notional and the carrying amount of derivative
financial instruments and, in the case of net investment
hedges, the notional of foreign currency denominated debt
issued, for each type of hedge relationship, is shown in the
respective sections. The maturity profile for the hedging
instruments’ notional amounts are reported based on their
contractual maturity. Where a cross currency swap has
been dual designated in both a cash flow and a fair value
hedge, the notional is shown more than once. Increases in
notional profiles of hedging instruments are presented as
negative figures, with decreases and maturities presented as
positive figures.
Hedging ineffectiveness
In the case of a fair value hedge, hedge ineffectiveness is
the extent to which the changes in the fair value of the
hedging instrument differ to that of the hedged item. In
the case of a cash flow hedge, hedge ineffectiveness is the
extent to which the change in the fair value of the hedging
instrument exceeds, in absolute terms, that of the hedged
item. In the case of net investment hedge relationships,
hedge ineffectiveness is the extent to which the change in
the carrying amount of foreign currency denominated debt
and foreign exchange contracts attributable to the change
in exchange rates exceeds, in absolute terms, that of the
hedged item. Sources of hedge ineffectiveness primarily arise
from basis and timing differences between the hedged items
and hedging instruments, and designating existing derivatives
with a non-zero fair value as hedging instruments. Hedge
ineffectiveness is reported in net trading income in the
income statement.

$3,047 million (2020: $5,049 million) would need to be deducted in this regard. The notional of commodity swaps and futures and foreign exchange contracts shown in the hedging
instrument maturity tables on pages 217 and 220 are not included in the notionals disclosed above.

Cash flow hedges
The cash flow hedge reserve, representing the effective portion of the movements in the hedging instrument, is disclosed in
Note 28(i) Reserves. Changes in this reserve are reported in the Consolidated Entity’s statements of comprehensive income.
The cumulative gains and losses remaining in the cash flow hedge reserve for hedging relationships that have ceased, but for
which the hedged cash flows are still expected to occur is $1 million (2020: $3 million). This amount will be transferred to the
income statement as a loss when the hedged item affects the income statement.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Note 35
Hedge accounting continued
Net investment in foreign operation hedges
The Consolidated Entity’s net investment in foreign operations (NIFO) changes as a result of earnings, dividends, other
capital-related events and changes in the Consolidated Entity’s group structure as a result of internal restructures. The
risk of changes in the NIFO for movements in foreign exchange rates is hedged by the Consolidated Entity through the use
of a combination of derivatives and foreign currency denominated issued debt. Refer to Note 36.3 Market risk for further
information on the Consolidated Entity’s risk management strategy.
In order to reflect the Consolidated Entity’s risk management strategy, hedge accounting is applied resulting in foreign exchange
gains or losses on the hedging instruments being recognised in the Consolidated Entity’s other comprehensive income,
within the foreign currency translation reserve. The cumulative gains or losses in the foreign currency translation reserve are
reclassified to the income statement at the time at which there is a disposal or partial disposal of the hedged foreign operation
(refer to Note 44 Significant accounting policies). Hedge ineffectiveness is recognised in net trading income in the income
statement. Given that the Consolidated Entity’s NIFO frequently changes, the hedge designations are reviewed on a monthly
basis or more frequently where required, which includes updating the NIFO exposure and rebalancing the associated
hedge designations.

In order to hedge the currency exposure of certain net investments in foreign operations, the Consolidated Entity jointly
designates both foreign exchange contracts (from the currency of the underlying foreign operation to USD) and foreign
denominated issued debt (from USD to AUD). As a result, the notional value of hedging instruments presented in the table
above of $23,332 million (2020: $22,946 million) represents the notional of both the derivative hedging instruments and the
foreign denominated issued debt and hence exceeds the $16,683 million (2020: $17,631 million) notional of the underlying hedged
component of the Consolidated Entity’s net investment in foreign operations.
Hedge ineffectiveness is the extent to which the absolute change in either the fair value of the derivative or the carrying
amount of foreign currency denominated debt issued attributable to the change in exchange rates exceeds that of the
hedged item. There was no ineffectiveness recognised in the income statement by the Consolidated Entity in the current year
(2020: $Nil).
(1) Where the fair value of the derivative is positive/(negative), the notional of the derivative has been similarly included in the table as an asset/(liability).

Fair value hedges
The fair value attributable to the hedged risk is recognised as a fair value adjustment to the hedged item on the balance sheet.
In an effective fair value hedge relationship, movements in this fair value adjustment are largely offset by movements in the fair
value of the hedging instrument. Any residual is recognised as ineffectiveness in net trading income in the income statement.
Executed rates for fair value hedges of interest rate risk and commodity price risk have not been shown as these would
represent the market reference rates at the time of designation.

(1) The carrying amounts in the table above exclude accrued interest and include fair value hedge adjustments.
(2) The carrying amount includes debt instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income. Where this applies the fair value hedge adjustment for interest rate risk
is recognised in the income statement together with changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument.
(3) These hedges remain highly effective despite temporary dislocations in the market during the current period.

Note 36
Financial risk management
Risk Management and Risk Management Group (RMG)
Risk is an integral part of the Consolidated Entity’s
businesses. The material risks faced by the Consolidated
Entity include aggregate, asset, conduct, credit,
environmental and social (including climate change), equity,
financial crime, legal, liquidity, market, operational (including
cyber and information security), regulatory and compliance,
reputational, strategic, tax, and work health and safety risks.
The primary responsibility for risk management lies with the
business. An important part of the role of all staff throughout
Macquarie is to ensure they manage risks appropriately.
RMG is independent of other areas of the Consolidated
Entity. RMG approval is required for all material risk
acceptance decisions. RMG reviews and assesses risks and
sets limits. Where appropriate, these limits are approved
by the Executive Committee and the Board. The Head of
RMG, as Macquarie’s CRO, is a member of the Executive
Committee of MGL and MBL and reports directly to the CEO
with a secondary reporting line to the Board Risk Committee.
Further details on the Risk Management Framework in the
Consolidated Entity can be found in the Risk Management
Report of this Annual Report.
On 1 April 2021, APRA announced actions required regarding
Macquarie Bank Limited’s (MBL) risk management practices
and ability to calculate and report key prudential ratios.
APRA increased MBL’s operational risk capital requirement
and made adjustments to requirements for certain liquidity
prudential ratios, effective from 1 April 2021. The actions
relate to specific intra-group funding arrangements as
well as breaches of APRA’s reporting standards on liquidity
between 2018 and 2020. APRA noted that the breaches are
historical and do not impact the current overall soundness of
Macquarie Group’s capital and liquidity positions.
While specific historical matters leading to these actions have
been addressed, Macquarie acknowledges that continued
work is required on its risk governance and operating
platform and has programs in place to strengthen capital
and liquidity reporting and its risk management framework.
Macquarie will work closely with APRA on these programs
through a period of intensified supervision.
Note 36.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to
complete its contractual obligations when they fall due.
The consequential loss is either the amount of the loan or
financial obligation not paid back, or the loss incurred in
replicating a trading contract with a new counterparty.
Credit risk assessment and approval
Exercise of credit authority within Macquarie is undertaken
under authority delegated by the MGL and MBL Boards
directly. Credit risk assessment includes a comprehensive
review of the creditworthiness of the counterparty and
related entities, key risk and mitigants, and that the downside
risk is properly understood and acceptable.
222
After this analysis is undertaken, limits are set for an
acceptable level of potential exposure. All wholesale limits and
ratings are reviewed at least once a year or more frequently if
required. Retail credit exposures are monitored by the business
units and overseen by RMG Credit on a portfolio basis.
All credit exposures are monitored regularly against limits.
Credit exposures for loan assets are reported at amortised
cost. Derivative exposures are measured using high
confidence potential future underlying asset prices.
To mitigate credit risk, where appropriate, the Consolidated
Entity makes use of margining and other forms of collateral
or credit enhancement techniques (including guarantees,
letters of credit and the purchase of credit default swaps).
Ratings and reviews
Refer to Note 13 Expected credit losses for details regarding
the manner in which the Consolidated Entity has adopted and
applied AASB 9’s expected credit loss impairment requirements.
Wholesale rating:
Macquarie wholesale ratings broadly correspond to Standard
& Poor’s credit ratings as follows:
Credit Profile
Internal Rating
Standard & Poor’s
Equivalent
Investment grade
MQ1 to MQ8
AAA to BBB-
Non-investment grade MQ9 to MQ16
BB+ to C
Default
MQ99
Default
Retail rating
Retail pools are mapped to the credit quality grades based
on their PDs.
Mapping retail portfolios to the credit grades has been
done for comparability of the overall portfolio presentation
and does not reflect the way that the retail portfolio is
segmented for management purposes. Management reviews
a range of information, including past due status for the
portfolio, to assess the credit quality of these assets.
Due from subsidiaries
Balances with subsidiaries are mapped to the rating grades
assigned internally to these counterparties for the pricing of
internal funding arrangements on an arm’s length basis.
Portfolio and country risk
A review of the credit portfolio analysing credit
concentrations by counterparty, geography, risk type,
industry and credit quality is carried out quarterly and
reported to the Board semi-annually. Policies are in place to
regulate large exposures to single counterparties or groups of
counterparties.
The Consolidated Entity has a country risk management
framework which covers the assessment of country risk and
the approval of country risk limits. Where appropriate the
country risk is mitigated by political risk insurance.

Maximum exposure to credit risk
For on-balance sheet instruments, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount reported on the balance sheet
(refer to Note 37 Measurement categories of financial instruments). For off balance sheet instruments, the maximum exposure
to credit risk is a function of the contractual notional amount except for certain usage-based guarantees in which case the
maximum exposure is determined with respect to the fair value of the underlying exposure and is disclosed in Note 13 Expected
credit losses.
Collateral and credit enhancements held
Cash collateral on securities borrowed and reverse repurchase agreements
The Consolidated Entity enters into stock borrowing and reverse repurchase transactions with counterparties which require
lodgement of collateral.
Securities borrowed require the deposit of cash collateral with counterparties at amounts equal to or greater than the market
value of the securities borrowed. Reverse repurchase agreements are collateralised financing arrangements with the market
value of the securities that have been received as collateral generally in excess of the principal amount.
The fair value of non-cash collateral held not recognised in the Statements of financial position as at 31 March 2021 is
$37,149 million (2020: $38,072 million). The Consolidated Entity is permitted to sell or re-pledge the entire value of securities
received, of which the fair value of collateral sold or re-pledged is $8,796 million (2020: $7,852 million). The value attributed to
collateral held is judgemental and is generally subject to valuation movements. Macquarie may also incur additional selling
costs when a defaulted position is closed out.
(1) Due from subsidiaries have been presented as Financial Institution and Others based on APRA’s Standard Institutional Sector Classifications of Australia (SISCA) classification.

Loan assets
Home loans
Macquarie purchases risk protection for its Home Loans portfolio. Prior to 2017 this was in the form of Lenders Mortgage
Insurance from a well rated Australian LMI provider. Since then Macquarie has diversified its risk protection coverage to a global
panel of reinsurers (panel) via an excess of loss structure for all loans whereby Macquarie is exposed to a defined first loss on
a pooled basis for each year of home loan origination after which loss protection is in place to certain pre-defined levels and is
thereafter exposed to any excess loss. From 1 April 2020 Macquarie began purchasing quota share protection for greater than
80% LVR loans from the panel as well as excess of loss for greater than 70% LVR loans. The panel has diverse lines of business
coverage and ratings ranging from AA to A- from external rating agencies. The length of cover is up to 10 years.
The following table provides information on the loan to collateral value ratio as determined using loan carrying values and the
most recent valuation of the home loan collateral. Expected credit loss provisions disclosed in Note 13 Expected credit losses
include forward-looking assumptions for the value of the collateral in determining the ECL at the reporting date.

Note 36
Financial risk management continued
Note 36.1 Credit risk continued
Asset financing
The Consolidated Entity leases assets and provides
asset-related financing, predominantly motor vehicles, to
corporate and retail clients. Titles to the underlying assets
are held by the Consolidated Entity as collateral. Of the asset
finance portfolio of $13,354 million (2020: $16,564 million), the
credit exposure after considering the depreciated value of
collateral is $5,921 million (2020: $7,514 million).
The collateralised value is based on standard recovery rates
for the underlying assets of corporate and retail clients.
Corporate, commercial and other lending
Collateral held against corporate, commercial and other
lending consists of secured positions over assets of the
counterparty, often in the form of corporate assets. Of the
term lending of $17,396 million (2020: $18,403 million), the
credit exposure after considering the estimated value of
collateral and credit enhancements is $3,108 million (2020:
$2,853 million).
Investment lending
The Consolidated Entity lends to clients for investment
lending, where it holds the underlying investment and/or
alternative acceptable assets as collateral or holds security
by way of a registered pledge over the underlying investment.
Investment lending portfolio of $2,274 million (2020: $2,559
million) is fully collateralised.
Derivative instruments
Derivatives may be traded on an exchange (exchange traded)
or they may be privately negotiated contracts, which are
referred to as Over the Counter (OTC) derivatives. The
Consolidated Entity’s OTC derivatives are cleared and settled
either through central clearing counterparties (OTC-cleared),
or bilateral contracts between two counterparties.
Exchange traded derivative contracts have reduced credit
risk as the Consolidated Entity’s counterparty is a clearing
house except for the cases where it is trading through
another clearing house member. The clearing house is
responsible for managing the risk associated with the
process on behalf of their members and providing a high
level of confidence that adequate resources exist to fulfil its
obligations when they become due. Members are required to
provide initial margins in accordance with the exchange rules
in the form of cash or securities and provide daily variation
margins in cash to cover changes in market values of the
underlying derivatives. Further, all members are generally
required to contribute to (and guarantee) the compensation
or reserve fund which may be used in the event of default
and shortfall of a member. The Consolidated Entity held
exchange traded derivatives with positive replacement values
as at 31 March 2021 of $1,379 million (2020: $5,662 million).
For OTC derivative contracts, the Consolidated Entity
often has master netting agreements (usually ISDA Master
Agreements) with certain counterparties to manage
the credit risk. The credit risk associated with positive
replacement value contracts is reduced by master netting
arrangements which, in the event of default, require balances
with a particular counterparty covered by the agreement
(for example derivatives and cash margins) to be terminated
and settled on a net basis. The Consolidated Entity also often
executes a Credit Support Annexure in conjunction with a
master netting agreement. This facilitates the transfer of
margin between parties during the term of arrangements
and mitigates counterparty risk arising from changes in
market values of the derivatives.
As at 31 March 2021, the Consolidated Entity held OTC
contracts with a positive replacement value of $19,263 million
(2020: $39,945 million). The credit risk of these contracts
has been reduced due to master netting agreements
covering negative OTC contracts of $11,048 million (2020:
$24,154 million) and margins and financial collateral held
(excluding the impact of over-collateralisation) of
$3,054 million (2020: $5,882 million).
Financial investments
This classification mainly includes debt securities held by
the Consolidated Entity primarily in the nature of bonds,
negotiable certificates of deposits (NCD), floating rate
notes (FRN), commercial paper and other debt securities
for liquidity management purposes and other securities for
short-term gains.
The Consolidated Entity utilises Credit Default Swaps (CDS),
guarantees, other forms of credit enhancements or collateral
in order to minimise the exposure to this credit risk.
Margin money and settlement assets
Security and commodity settlements of $7,253 million
(2020: $6,698 million) and $2,292 million (2020: $2,457 million)
respectively included in margin money and settlement assets,
represent amounts owed by an exchange (or a client) for
equities, commodities and other securities sold. These assets
are collateralised with the underlying securities, commodities
or cash held by the Consolidated Entity until the date of
settlement. The period between trade and settlement date
varies as per regional regulatory and business norms.
Credit commitments
Undrawn facilities and lending securities commitments of
$7,210 million (2020: $4,844 million) are secured through
collateral and credit enhancement out of the total
undrawn facilities and lending securities commitments of
$14,041 million (2020: $11,948 million).

Additional collateral
Apart from collateral details disclosed above, the
Consolidated Entity also holds other types of collateral, such
as unsupported guarantees. While such mitigants have value
as a credit risk mitigant often providing rights in insolvency,
their assignable values are uncertain and therefore are
assigned no value for disclosure purposes.
The home loan and asset finance balance includes
$11,344 million (2020: $16,402 million) of loans which has
been securitised by consolidated SEs.
For all collaterals, in the event of default realised collateral
values may be lower than the value of collateral as at the
reporting date.
Note 36.2 Liquidity risk
Governance and oversight
Macquarie’s liquidity risk management framework is designed
to ensure that it is able to meet its funding requirements as
they fall due under a range of market conditions.
Liquidity management is performed centrally by Group
Treasury, with oversight from the Asset and Liability
Committee (ALCO) and RMG. Macquarie’s liquidity policy is
approved by the MGL and MBL Boards after endorsement
by the ALCO and liquidity reporting is provided to the Boards
on a regular basis. The ALCO includes the MGL CEO, MBL
CEO, CFO, CRO, Co-Heads of Group Treasury and Operating
Group Heads.
RMG provides independent oversight of liquidity risk
management, including ownership of liquidity policies and key
limits and approval of material liquidity scenario assumptions.
Liquidity policy and risk appetite
The MGL and MBL liquidity policies are designed so that
each of Macquarie, the Bank Group and the Non-Bank
Group maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations
as they fall due. The MBL Liquidity Policy outlines the
standalone framework for the Bank Group and its principles
are consistent with the MGL Liquidity Policy. MGL provides
funding predominantly to the Non-Bank Group. Macquarie’s
liquidity risk appetite is intended to ensure that Macquarie
is able to meet all of its liquidity obligations during a period
of liquidity stress: a twelve month period with constrained
access to funding markets for MBL, no access to funding
markets for MGL and with only a limited reduction in
Macquarie’s franchise businesses.
Reflecting the longer-term nature of the Non-Bank Group
asset profile, MGL is funded predominantly with a mixture
of capital and long-term wholesale funding. MBL is an
authorised deposit-taking institution and is funded mainly
with capital, long-term liabilities and deposits.
Liquidity contingency plan
Group Treasury maintains a Liquidity Contingency Plan, which
outlines how a liquidity crisis would be managed. The plan
defines roles and responsibilities and actions to be taken
in a liquidity event, including identifying key information
requirements and appropriate communication plans with
both internal and external parties.
Specifically, the plan details:
• factors that may constitute a crisis
• the officers responsible for enacting the plan
• a committee of senior executives responsible for
managing a crisis
• the information required to effectively manage a crisis
• a communications strategy
• a high level checklist of possible actions to conserve or
raise additional liquidity
• contact lists to facilitate prompt communication with all
key internal and external stakeholders.
In addition, Macquarie monitors a range of early warning
indicators on a daily basis that might assist in identifying
emerging risks in Macquarie’s liquidity position. These
indicators are reviewed by Senior Management and are used
to inform any decisions regarding invoking the plan.
The Liquidity Contingency Plan is subject to regular review by
both Group Treasury and RMG. It is submitted annually to the
ALCO and the MGL and MBL Boards for approval.
Macquarie is a global financial institution, with branches and
subsidiaries in a variety of countries. Regulations in certain
countries may require some branches or subsidiaries to have
specific local contingency plans. Where that is the case, the
Liquidity Contingency Plan contains either a supplement or
a reference to a separate document providing the specific
information required for those branches or subsidiaries.
Funding strategy
Macquarie prepares a Funding Strategy for both MGL and
MBL on an annual basis and monitors progress against the
strategy throughout the year.
The Funding Strategy aims to maintain Macquarie’s diversity
of current and projected funding sources for MGL and
MBL, ensure ongoing compliance with all liquidity policy
requirements and facilitate forecast asset growth.
The Funding Strategy is reviewed by the ALCO and approved
by the respective Boards.
Scenario analysis
Scenario analysis is central to Macquarie’s liquidity risk
management framework. In addition to regulatory defined
scenarios, Group Treasury models additional liquidity
scenarios covering both market-wide and Macquarie
name-specific crises.
These scenarios use a range of assumptions, which
Macquarie intends to be conservative, regarding the level
of access to capital markets, deposit outflows, contingent
funding requirements and asset sales.
236
Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Note 36
Financial risk management continued
Note 36.2 Liquidity risk continued
As an example, one internal scenario projects the expected
cash and liquid asset position during a combined market-wide
and Macquarie name-specific crisis over a twelve month
time frame. This scenario assumes no access to wholesale
funding markets, a significant loss of customer deposits
and contingent funding outflows resulting from undrawn
commitments, market moves impacting derivatives and
other margined positions combined with a multiple notch
credit rating downgrade. Macquarie’s cash and liquid
asset portfolio must exceed the minimum requirement as
calculated in this scenario at all times.
Liquid asset holdings
Group Treasury centrally maintains a portfolio of highly
liquid unencumbered assets which are intended to ensure
adequate liquidity is available under a range of market
conditions. The minimum level of cash and liquid assets is
calculated with reference to internal scenario projections and
regulatory requirements.
The cash and liquid asset portfolio contains only
unencumbered assets that can be relied on to maintain their
liquidity in a crisis scenario. Specifically, cash and liquid assets
held to meet minimum internal and regulatory requirements
must be held in cash (including central bank reserves and
overnight lending to financial institutions), qualifying High
Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) or be eligible as collateral in
the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) facilities such as the
Committed Liquidity Facility (CLF) – so called ‘Alternative
Liquid Assets’ (ALA). Composition constraints are also applied
to ensure appropriate diversity and quality of the assets
in the portfolio. The cash and liquid asset portfolio is held
in a range of currencies consistent with the distribution of
liquidity needs by currency, allowing for an acceptable level of
currency mismatches.
Funds transfer pricing
An internal funds transfer pricing framework is in place that
has been designed to produce appropriate incentives for
business decision-making by reflecting the true funding costs
arising from business actions and the separate funding tasks
and liquidity requirements of the Bank and Non-Bank Groups.
Under this framework, each business is allocated the full cost
of the funding required to support its products and business
lines, recognising the actual and contingent funding-related
exposures their activities create. Businesses that raise
funding are compensated at a level that is appropriate for the
liquidity benefit provided by the funding.
Undrawn credit lines and facilities
The Consolidated Entity has $2,279 million (March 2020:
$2,775 million) of available undrawn credit lines and facilities
at 31 March 2021. On 19 March 2020, the RBA announced
that it was establishing a Term Funding Facility (TFF) that
would offer authorised deposit-taking institutions three
year funding at a rate of 0.25% per annum in response
to COVID-19. Subsequent to the Initial and Additional
Allowances, the RBA expanded the facility by introducing
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
a Supplementary Allowance and also reduced the rate
on subsequent drawdowns to 0.10% (for Additional and
Supplementary Allowances). As at March 2021, MBL has been
granted a Funding Allowance of $7,625 million (March 2020:
$1,911 million) and has drawn $1,723 million (March 2020: $Nil)
of this Funding Allowance. MBL has not included the TFF in
the available undrawn credit lines and facilities balance.
Contractual undiscounted cash flows
The following tables summarise the maturity profile of
the Consolidated Entity’s financial liabilities as at 31 March
based on a contractual undiscounted repayment basis and
hence would vary from the carrying value as reported on
the Statements of financial position at the balance date.
Repayments subject to notice are treated as if notice were
given immediately. This does not reflect the behaviour of the
expected cash flows as indicated by the Consolidated Entity’s
deposit retention history since the Consolidated Entity
expects that many customers will not request repayment
on the earliest date the Consolidated Entity could be
required to pay.

Note 36.3 Market risk
Traded market risk
Market risk is the risk of adverse changes in the value of the
Consolidated Entity’s trading positions as a result of changes
in market conditions. The Consolidated Entity is exposed to
the following risks:
• price: The risk of loss due to changes in price of a risk
factor (interest rates, foreign exchange, commodities etc.)
• volatility: The risk of loss due to changes in the volatility of
a risk factor
• basis: Risk of imperfect correlation between offsetting
investments in a hedging strategy
• correlation: Risk that the actual correlation between
two assets or variables is different from the assumed
correlation
• illiquid market: Risk of inability to sell assets or close out
positions in the thinly-traded markets at close to the last
market prices
• concentration: Risk of over concentration of trading
exposures in certain markets and products
• valuation adjustments (XVA): Risk of actual valuation
adjustments to derivative positions; specifically Credit
Valuation Adjustment (CVA), Debit Valuation Adjustment
(DVA) and Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA).
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
It is recognised that all trading activities contain calculated
elements of risk taking. The Consolidated Entity is prepared
to accept such risks provided they are within agreed limits,
independently and correctly identified, calculated and
monitored by RMG, and reported to Senior Management
on a regular basis. RMG monitors positions within the
Consolidated Entity according to a limit structure which sets
limits for all exposures in all markets.
Limits are for both individual trading desks and divisions as
well as in aggregate.
RMG sets three complementary limit structures:
• contingent loss limits: worst case scenarios that shock
prices and volatilities by more than that which has
occurred historically. Multiple scenarios are set for each
market to capture the non-linearity and complexity
of exposures arising from derivatives. A wide range of
assumptions about the correlations between markets
is applied
• position limits: volume, maturity and open position limits
are set on a large number of market instruments and
securities in order to constrain concentration risk and to
avoid the accumulation of risky, illiquid positions
• Value‑at‑Risk (VaR) limits: a statistical measure based
on a 10-day holding period and a 99% confidence level,
as stipulated by the APRA capital adequacy standard.
The model is validated daily by back testing a one-day VaR
against hypothetical and actual daily trading profit or loss.

The VaR model uses a Monte Carlo simulation to generate

effectiveness of VaR in predicting future price moves:
• the use of historical data means that the current model
parameters may not reflect future market conditions
especially when entering a period of heightened volatility.
The model utilises exponential weighting to place
emphasis on the most recent market movements to more
accurately reflect current conditions
• VaR focuses on unexceptional price moves so that it does
not account for losses that could occur beyond the 99%
level of confidence.
For capital adequacy purposes, debt-specific risk is measured
using APRA’s standard method, whilst all other exposures
are captured by the VaR model. This combined approach has
been approved by APRA and is subject to periodic review.
Non‑traded market risk
The Consolidated Entity has exposure to non-traded market
risks arising from transactions entered into during its normal
course of business and as a result of its investments in
foreign operations. These risks include:
• Interest rate: changes in the level, shape and volatility of
yield curves, and/or client behaviour given these changes
• Foreign exchange: changes in the spot exchange rates.
The Consolidated Entity has limited appetite for non-traded
market risks. Where commercially feasible, these risks
are transferred into the trading books of CGM and Group

Treasury and governed within the traded market risk
framework described above. Responsibility for managing
exposures rests with individual businesses, with additional
central monitoring from FMG for foreign exchange risks. Any
residual non-traded market risks are subject to independent
limits approved by RMG and reported regularly to
Senior Management.
Where foreign exchange exposures arise as a result of
investments in foreign operations, a key objective of the
Consolidated Entity’s Non-traded market risk policy is to
reduce the sensitivity of regulatory capital ratios to foreign
currency movements. This is achieved by leaving specific
investments in core foreign operations exposed to foreign
currency translation movements and captured in the foreign
currency translation reserve, a component of regulatory
capital. This aligns the currency of capital supply with
capital requirements.
As a result of this policy, the Consolidated Entity is therefore
partially exposed to currency risk in relation to the translation
of its net investment in foreign operations to Australian
dollars. Apart from this there is no material non-trading
foreign exchange risk.
Accounting considerations arising from hedging activities
The use of derivative and other financial instruments to
hedge non-traded positions potentially gives rise to income
statement volatility due to accounting treatments. The
Consolidated Entity manages this through hedge accounting
as set out in Note 44(x) Derivative instruments and hedging
activities and Note 35 Hedge accounting.

Interest rate risk‑ Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
(IBOR)
During 2018, the Consolidated Entity initiated a project,
which is sponsored by its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to
manage the impacts of IBOR reform, including overseeing
the transition from LIBOR to ARRs. A group-wide steering
committee was established with its key responsibility
being the governance of the project. This committee
includes senior executives from the Consolidated Entity’s
Operating Groups, Financial Management Group (FMG), Risk
Management Group (RMG), Corporate Operations Group
(COG) and Legal and Governance.
In addition to the project’s scoping and assessments outlined
in the Consolidated Entity’s annual financial report for
the year ended 31 March 2020, and the progress reported
in 30 September 2020 interim financial statements, the
project achieved several important milestones in line with
recommendations from industry working groups that
included:
• the Consolidated Entity’s successful transition of its
internal funding from GBP LIBOR to SONIA
• an increasing range of ARR products becoming available
to offer clients, supported by changes to key systems
and processes
• several Group entities have adhered to the ISDA Fallbacks
Protocol which introduce robust fallbacks for legacy
derivatives, and work has progressed on the development
of a transition framework for managing client transitions.
Macquarie has identified the following four inherent risks
arising from IBOR transitions:
• Financial Risk: This includes (i) value transfers during
transition to ARRs, or triggering of fallback terms and
default interest payment terms, (ii) basis risk from
products and currencies moving at different times, (iii)
change in accounting treatment impacts including hedge
accounting, capital, tax and reported earnings, and (iv)
loss in revenue / market share from not being ready to
participate in ARR markets
• Conduct Risk: This includes (i) real or perceived benefit
of information asymmetry between financial institutions
and clients during transition, (ii) clients being sold LIBOR
contracts today who are unaware of the impending
transition or inappropriate advice given to clients, (iii) real
or perceived unfair treatment of clients during transition,
and (iv) market participants attempt to influence ARRs
during transition or misconduct in markets where there is
insufficient liquidity
• Legal Risk: This includes (i) client disputes over
amendment terms, (ii) litigation from clients and
counterparties (including potential class actions) due to
inappropriate / unenforceable contractual terms or losses
from transition
• Operational Risk: This includes (i) infrastructure and
processes not ready to support ARR products, (ii)
infrastructure and processes that result in errors upon
transition, and (iii) reduced model accuracy due to lack of
historical data.
Whilst IBOR reforms, including the transition from LIBOR to
ARRs, are important changes for the Consolidated Entity,
they have not resulted in changes to the Consolidated
Entity’s risk management strategy and these risks are
managed within the existing risk management framework.
Exposure yet to be transited to ARRs: Notional value
information relating to the Consolidated Entity’s financial
instruments which have yet to transition to ARRs as at the
reporting date includes(1):
• Derivatives: Primarily includes USD LIBOR ($51,057 million),
GBP LIBOR ($25,857 million), JPY LIBOR ($728 million) and
other currencies ($129 million)
• Non‑Derivative financial assets: Primarily includes USD
LIBOR ($5,234 million), GBP LIBOR ($904 million) and other
currencies ($48 million)
• Non‑Derivative financial liabilities: Primarily includes USD
LIBOR ($13,839 million) and GBP LIBOR ($1,882 million).
The scope of the above mentioned exposures has been
determined as follows:
• the benchmark will be replaced, and the replacement
date is known. Only exposures with contractual
maturities extending beyond the replacement date have
been included
• the gross notional values of both on-balance sheet and
off-balance sheet exposures have been included
• for contracts that reference more than one benchmark,
such as a cross currency swap, the exposure includes both
benchmarks to reflect the absolute exposure to different
reference rates
• exposures where a benchmark rate is not subject to
mandatory replacement (e.g. BBSW exposures), will be
considered in scope only if the Consolidated Entity makes
a determination to transition to an ARR
• derivative contracts of $261 million designated in
hedge accounting relationships and have synthetically
transitioned from GBP LIBOR to SONIA have
been excluded.
(1) The notional amounts of hedged items and/or hedging instruments designated in hedge relationship are covered in Note 35 Hedge accounting.

Foreign currency risk
The Consolidated Entity is active in various currencies globally. The net investment in foreign operations generates capital
requirements in foreign currencies and results in sensitivity of the capital ratio to movements in the Australian dollar rate
against various foreign currencies. The Consolidated Entity hedges this exposure by leaving specific investments in foreign
operations exposed to foreign currency translation movements, which aligns the currency of capital supply with capital
requirements. Refer to Note 44(x) Derivative instruments and hedging activities and Note 34 Hedge accounting for details
regarding the application of hedge accounting to the Consolidated Entity’s net investment in foreign operations.
The sensitivity of the Consolidated Entity net investment in foreign operations to the most material currencies after
considering related hedges is presented in the table below.

Note 38
Fair value of financial assets and
financial liabilities
Fair value reflects the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
Quoted prices or rates are used to determine fair value
where an active market exists. If the market for a financial
instrument is not active, fair values are estimated using
present value or other valuation techniques, using
inputs based on market conditions prevailing at the
measurement date.
The values derived from applying these techniques are
affected by the choice of valuation model used and the
underlying assumptions made regarding inputs such as the
timing and amounts of future cash flows, discount rates,
credit risk, volatility and correlation.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are categorised
in their entirety, in accordance with the levels of the fair value
hierarchy as outlined below:
Level 1
Level 2
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities
inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived
from prices)
Level 3
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs)
The appropriate fair value hierarchy level for an instrument
is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement. AASB 13 Fair
Value Measurement requires the use of the price within the
bid-offer spread that is most representative of fair value.
Valuation systems will typically generate mid-market prices.
The bid-offer adjustment reflects the extent to which
bid-offer costs would be incurred if substantially all of the
residual net exposure to market risks were closed, on a
portfolio basis, using available hedging instruments.
The fair values calculated for financial instruments which are
carried in the Statements of financial position at amortised
cost (as disclosed in Note 37 Measurement categories of
financial instruments) are for disclosure purposes only. The
following methods and assumptions applied to derive these
fair values can require significant judgement by management
and therefore may not necessarily be comparable to other
financial institutions nor may it be the price at which the asset
is sold or a liability repurchased in a market-based transaction:
• the fair values of liquid assets and other instruments
maturing within three months approximate their carrying
amounts. This assumption is applied to liquid assets and
the short-term portion of all other financial assets and
financial liabilities
• the fair value of demand deposits with no fixed maturity
approximates their carrying amount as they are
short-term in nature or are payable on demand
• the fair values of variable rate financial instruments,
including cash collateral on securities borrowed, cash
collateral on securities lent and repurchase agreements
approximates their carrying amounts
• the fair values of all loan assets, term deposits and debt
liabilities carried at amortised cost, are determined with
reference to changes in interest rates and credit spreads
• the fair value of fixed rate loans and debt investments
carried at amortised cost is estimated by reference to
current market rates offered on similar loans and the
creditworthiness of the borrower
• the fair value of issued debt and loan capital, where carried
at amortised cost, is based on quoted prices in active
markets where available. Where quoted prices are not
available the fair value is based on discounted cash flows
using rates appropriate to the term and incorporates
changes in the Consolidated Entity’s own credit spread
• substantially all of the Consolidated Entity’s commitments
to extend credit are at variable rates. As such, there is no
significant exposure to fair value fluctuations resulting from
interest rate movements relating to these commitments.
The following methods and significant assumptions have
been applied in determining the fair values of financial
instruments which are measured at fair value:
• trading assets and liabilities, derivative financial
instruments and other transactions undertaken for
trading purposes are measured at fair value by reference
to quoted prices in active markets where available (for
example listed securities). If quoted prices in active
markets are not available, then fair values are estimated
on the basis of pricing models or other recognised
valuation techniques
• repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, being
collateralised financing arrangements, are measured at
fair value with reference to the securities which are held or
provided as the collateral for the financing agreement
• financial investments classified as FVTPL or FVOCI are
measured at fair value by reference to quoted prices
in active markets where available (for example listed
securities). If quoted prices in active markets are not
available, the fair values are estimated on the basis of
pricing models or other recognised valuation techniques
that maximise the use of quoted prices and observable
market inputs. Unrealised gains and losses on FVOCI debt
financial assets, excluding impairment write-downs on debt
instruments, are recorded in the FVOCI reserve in equity
until the asset is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of
• fair values of variable rate loans classified at FVOCI is equal
to its carrying value on the basis that the interest rates are
reflective of market rates offered on similar loans

Note 38
Fair value of financial assets and
financial liabilities continued
• fair values of fixed rate loans classified as FVTPL or FVOCI
and issued debt classified as DFVTPL are estimated by
reference to current market rates offered on similar loans
and issued debt
• for financial assets carried at fair value, in order to
measure counterparty credit risk, an adjustment is
incorporated into the valuation. Where exposures are
managed on a portfolio basis then the adjustment is
calculated on a counterparty basis for those exposures
• for financial liabilities carried at fair value, in order to
measure the Consolidated Entity’s own credit risk, an
adjustment is incorporated into the valuations
• the Consolidated Entity has incorporated the market
implied funding costs for uncollateralised derivative
positions as a Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA). FVA
is determined by calculating the net expected exposures
at a counterparty level and applying the Consolidated
Entity’s internal Treasury lending rates as an input into
the calculation. The approach takes into account the
PD of each counterparty, as well as any mandatory
break clauses.
Where valuation techniques are used to determine fair
values, they are validated and periodically reviewed by
qualified personnel independent of the area that created
them. All models are certified before they are used, and
models are calibrated periodically to test that outputs reflect
prices from observable current market transactions in the
same instrument or other available observable market data.
To the extent possible, models use only observable market
data (for example OTC derivatives), however management
is required to make assumptions for certain inputs that are
not supported by prices from observable current market
transactions in the same instrument such as volatility
and correlation.

Note 38
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities continued
Significant transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
During the financial year, the Consolidated Entity did not have significant transfers between Level 1 and 2.
Transfers into Level 3 were due to the lack of observable valuation inputs for certain investments and trading balances.
Transfers out of Level 3 were principally due to valuation inputs becoming observable during the year. Financial assets
reclassified into/out of the fair value hierarchy disclosure due to recognition and measurement category changes, or due to
changes in significant influence or control are also presented as transfers into/out of Level 3.
Unrecognised gains or losses
For financial instruments, the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition is its transaction price, unless its fair value is
evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation
technique for which variables include only data from observable markets. Where such alternative evidence exists, the
Consolidated Entity recognises profit or loss immediately when the financial instrument is recognised (‘day 1 profit or loss’).
When significant unobservable inputs are used to determine fair value, the day 1 profit or loss is deferred and is recognised in
the income statement over the life of the transaction or when the inputs become observable.
The table below summarises the deferral and recognition of profit or loss where a valuation technique has been applied for
which significant unobservable inputs are used:
Balance at the beginning of the financial year
Deferrals on new transactions and other adjustments

Sensitivity analysis of valuations using unobservable inputs
The table below shows the sensitivity to reasonably possible alternative assumptions, for Level 3 financial instruments whose
fair values are determined in whole or in part using unobservable inputs and valuation techniques such as discounted cash
flows based on assumptions by reference to historical company and industry experience. The impact of the sensitivity of
financial instruments which hedge the Level 3 positions but are classified as Level 1 or 2 is not included in the table below.

The favourable and unfavourable changes of using reasonable possible alternative assumptions for the valuation of above
product types have been calculated by recalibrating the valuation model using stressed significant unobservable inputs of the
Consolidated Entity’s range of possible estimates.

Significant unobservable inputs
The following table contains information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 valuations, and the valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The range of values represent the highest and lowest input used in the valuation
techniques. The range does not therefore reflect the level of uncertainty regarding a particular input, but rather the different
underlying characteristics of the relevant assets and liabilities.

Correlation is a measure of the relationship between the movements of two variables (i.e. how the change in one variable
influences a change in the other variable). Correlation is a key input into the valuation of derivatives with more than one
underlying and is generally used to value hybrid and exotic instruments.
Volatility
Volatility is a measure of the variability or uncertainty in returns for a given derivative underlying. It represents an estimate of
the amount a particular underlying instrument, parameter or index will change in value over time. Volatility is an input into the
valuation of derivatives containing optionality. Volatility and skew are impacted by the underlying risk, term and strike price of
a derivative.
Correlations and volatilities are derived through extrapolation of observable volatilities, recent transaction prices, quotes from
other market participants, data from consensus pricing services and historical data adjusted for current conditions.
(1) The range of inputs related to NAV is not disclosed as the diverse nature of the underlying investments results in a wide range of inputs.

Inputs for equity and equity‑linked products
Unlisted equity securities are generally valued based on earnings or revenue multiples, referencing market transactions for
comparable companies adjusted as appropriate for current economic conditions. Other significant unobservable inputs may
include NAV and discount rates determined using inputs specific to the underlying investment, and forecast cash flows and
earnings/revenues of investee entities.
Inputs for interest rate products (discount rate)
Loans are generally valued using discount rates. Significant unobservable inputs may include interest rates and credit spreads of
counterparties, and original issue discounts on primary debt issuances.
Note 39
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
The Consolidated Entity and the Company present financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis in the Statements
of financial position when they meet the criteria described in Note 44(vii) Financial instruments. The following tables provide
information on the impact of offsetting of financial instruments in the Statements of financial position, as well as amounts
subject to enforceable netting arrangements that do not meet all the criteria for offsetting and therefore presented gross in
the Statements of financial position. Enforceable netting arrangements may allow for net settlement of specified contracts
with a counterparty only in the event of default or other pre-determined events, such that their potential effects on the
Consolidated Entity and Company’s financial position in that circumstance is to settle these contracts as one arrangement.
The Consolidated Entity uses a variety of credit risk mitigation strategies in addition to netting and collateral arrangements,
therefore amounts presented in this note are not intended to represent the credit risk exposure of the entity. Refer to Note 36.1
Credit risk for information on credit risk management.

(2020: $1,214 million) transferred in return for the loan of other securities where there is no associated liability on the Consolidated Entity’s Statement of financial position.
(2) Includes $2,605 million of SEs securitised bonds that have been pledged against repurchase agreement liabilities, including $505 million (2020: $531 million) relating to a repurchase
liability with a related body corporate.
(3) Of the $37,149 million (2020: $38,072 million) of collateral received against reverse repurchase and collateral arrangements (refer Note 36.1 Credit risk), this balance represents
securities transferred under repurchase agreements for which a corresponding liability is recognised on the Consolidated Entity’s Statement of financial position and security swap
arrangements where there is no associated liability on the Consolidated Entity’s Statement of financial position.

Financial investment – Total return swap
Financial assets sold, while concurrently entering into
a total return swap with the counterparty, continue to
be recognised along with an associated liability for the
consideration received. The Consolidated Entity does not
have legal rights to these assets but has full economic
exposure to them. The transferred assets cannot otherwise
be pledged or sold by the transferee.
Other financial transfers
Includes loans and leases sold or lent to an external funder
but the Consolidated Entity still has full economic exposure
to them. In such instances the Consolidated Entity has a right
to receive cash from the lessee and an obligations to pay
those cash flows to the external funder.
Trading assets under other financial assets not derecognised
represents gold and bonds transferred for margins in relation
to trading activities.
Note 40
Pledged assets and transfers of financial assets
continued
Transfer of financial assets
The Consolidated Entity may enter into transactions in the
normal course of business that transfer risks and rewards
of financial assets recognised in the Consolidated Entity’s
Statement of financial position to other entities. Depending
on the criteria discussed in Note 44(vii) Financial instruments,
the Consolidated Entity may be unable to derecognise the
transferred asset, be able to derecognise the transferred
assets in full or continue to recognise the asset to the extent
of its continuing involvement.
Transferred financial assets that are derecognised
When financial assets are derecognised in their entirety,
some continuing involvement may be retained in the assets
through liquidity support, financial guarantees, certain
derivatives or certain securitisation interests. For the
financial years ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020, there
were no material transfers of financial assets where the
Consolidated Entity has had continuing involvement.
Transferred financial assets that are not derecognised
The Consolidated Entity did not derecognise any financial
assets to the extent of continuing involvement in the years
ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020. The following
transactions typically result in the transferred assets
continuing to be recognised in full.
Repurchase and securities lending agreements
Securities and commodities sold under an agreement to
repurchase and securities subject to lending agreements
continue to be recognised in the Statements of financial
position and an associated liability is recognised for the
consideration received.
Where securities are transferred in return for loan of other
securities, the transferred asset continues to be recognised
in full. There is no associated liability as the non-cash
collateral received is not recognised on the balance sheet.
The Consolidated entity is unable to use, sell or pledge the
transferred assets for the duration of the transaction and
remains exposed to interest rate risk and credit risk on
these assets.
In certain arrangements transferee cannot otherwise sell or
pledge the transferred securities, however the assets may be
substituted if the required collateral is maintained.

Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Note 43
Events after the reporting date
On 30 April 2021, the Consolidated Entity acquired control
of Waddell & Reed Financial Inc., a publicly traded US
asset manager providing wealth management and asset
management services, for consideration of $2,175 million.
On completion, the Consolidated Entity sold the wealth
management business to LPL Financial Holdings Inc. for
$400 million. While the purchase price allocation for
the acquisition and disposal is yet to be completed, it is
estimated that it will result in an increase in goodwill and
other intangible assets net of deferred tax of approximately
$1,200 million and other net assets of approximately
$600 million. Had the Consolidated Entity acquired control
on 1 April 2020, the Consolidated Entity’s net operating
income for the year ended 31 March 2021, excluding the
wealth management business, would have increased
by approximately $660 million. The contribution to the
Consolidated Entity’s profit after income tax in this year,
after acquisition-related costs and the amortisation of
intangible assets but excluding integration costs and
synergies, would have been approximately $50 million.
There were no other material events subsequent to
31 March 2021 and up until the authorisation of the financial
statements for issue, that have not been disclosed elsewhere
in the financial statements.
Note 44
Significant accounting policies
(i) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated Financial Report reflects the financial
performance and financial position of the Consolidated
Entity. Subsidiaries are all those entities (including structured
entities) which the Consolidated Entity controls. The
Consolidated Entity controls an entity where it has:
• power to direct the relevant activities
• exposure, or rights, to significant variable returns, and
• the ability to utilise power to affect the entity’s returns.
The determination of control is based on current facts and
circumstances and is continuously assessed. The Consolidated
Entity has power over an entity when it has existing
substantive rights that provide it with the current ability to
direct the entity’s relevant activities, being those activities
that significantly affect the entity’s returns. The Consolidated
Entity also considers the entity’s purpose and design. If the
Consolidated Entity determines that it has power over an
entity, the Consolidated Entity then evaluates its exposure, or
rights, to variable returns by considering the magnitude and
variability associated with its economic interests.
All variable returns are considered in making that assessment
including, but not limited to, returns from debt or equity
investments, guarantees, liquidity arrangements, variable
fees and certain derivative contracts.
Structured entities
Structured Entities (SEs) are those entities that have
been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the
dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such
as when voting rights relate to administrative tasks only
and the relevant activities of the SE are directed by means
of contractual arrangements. When assessing whether the
Consolidated Entity controls (and therefore consolidates) a
SE, judgement is required as to whether the Consolidated
Entity has power over the relevant activities as well as
exposure, or rights, to significant variable returns of the SE.
Where the Consolidated Entity has power over the SE’s relevant
activities, has assessed that its exposure to variable returns
(through the residual risk associated with its involvement in
SEs) is sufficient, and is able to affect its returns, the underlying
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of these SEs are
reported in the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidation
The effects of all transactions between subsidiaries in the
Consolidated Entity are eliminated in full. Unrealised losses
are eliminated in the same manner as unrealised gains but
only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Non-controlling interests (NCI) in the results and equity of
subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income
statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive
income and consolidated statement of financial position
and are determined on the basis of the Consolidated Entity’s
present ownership interest in the entity.
Where control of an entity was obtained during the financial year,
its results are included in the consolidated income statement
from the date on which control was obtained. Where control of
an entity ceased during the financial year, its results are included
for that part of the financial year during which control existed.
The Consolidated Entity determines the dates of obtaining
control (i.e. acquisition date) and losing control (i.e. disposal
date) of another entity based on an assessment of all
pertinent facts and circumstances that affect the ability
to direct the relevant activities and the extent of the
Consolidated Entity’s exposure to the entity’s variable returns.
Facts and circumstances that have the most impact include
the contractual arrangements agreed with the counterparty,
the manner in which those arrangements are expected
to operate in practice and whether regulatory approval
is required (including the nature of such approval). The
acquisition or disposal date does not necessarily occur when
the transaction is closed or finalised under law.
Subsidiaries held by the Company are carried in its financial
statements at cost less accumulated impairment.
Interests in associates and joint ventures
Associates and joint ventures are entities over which
the Consolidated Entity has significant influence or joint
control. Existing ownership interests (including in substance
ownership interests) in associates and joint ventures are
accounted for under the equity method. In-substance
ownership interests are interests that are substantially
similar to an investee’s ordinary shares. Equity accounting
of the ownership interests is applied from the date that the
Consolidated Entity has significant influence or joint control
and ceases when the Consolidated Entity no longer has
significant influence or joint control.

Note 44
Significant accounting policies continued
(i) Principles of consolidation continued
The Consolidated Entity determines the dates of obtaining
or losing significant influence or joint control of another
entity based on an assessment of all pertinent facts and
circumstances that affect the ability to significantly influence
the financial and operating policies or jointly control the
relevant activities of that entity. Facts and circumstances
that have the most impact include the contractual
arrangements agreed with the counterparty, the manner
in which those arrangements are expected to operate
in practice, and whether regulatory approval is required
(including the nature of such approval). The acquisition
or disposal date does not necessarily occur when the
transaction is closed or finalised under law.
The equity method of accounting is applied in the
consolidated Financial Report and requires the recognition
of the Consolidated Entity’s share of its associates’ and
joint ventures’ post acquisition profits or loss (including
impairments of the associates’ or joint ventures’ assets) in
the consolidated income statement, and the share of the
post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Transactions reported directly in equity (besides those
reflected in other comprehensive income) are accounted for
by the Consolidated Entity in accordance with the substance
of the transaction and whether the transaction is dilutive
to the Consolidated Entity’s ownership interest. Where the
transaction is dilutive, the impact is recorded as part of the
Consolidated Entity’s share of profits or losses of associates
and joint ventures.
Equity accounting of losses is restricted to the Consolidated
Entity’s interests in its associate or joint venture, unless the
Consolidated Entity has an obligation or has made payment
on behalf of the entity.
Long-term interests in an associate or joint venture, to which
the equity method is not applied but in-substance form
part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture,
are accounted for in accordance with the Consolidated
Entity’s financial instruments’ accounting policies, which
includes accounting for expected credit losses, where
applicable. Subsequently, the loss allocation and impairment
requirements in AASB 128 Investments in Associates and
Joint Ventures are applied to long-term interests.
At the end of each reporting period, management reviews
the Consolidated Entity’s investments in associates and
joint ventures for indicators of impairment. Where there
is an indicator of impairment, the carrying amount of the
investment is tested for impairment by comparing its
recoverable amount with its carrying value. Impairment
losses are recognised in other impairment charges/reversal.
A reversal of a previously recognised impairment loss is
recognised only to the extent that the investment’s carrying
value does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined (including consideration of any equity
accounted losses) if no impairment loss had been recognised.
268
Interests in associates and joint ventures are classified as
held for sale when the Consolidated Entity determines that
the interest will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use. Equity
accounting is suspended when the interest is classified as
held for sale.
On disposal of an investment in an associate or a joint
venture, the difference between the sales consideration, any
retained interest and the carrying value is recognised as a
gain or loss in investment income as part of other operating
income and charges together with any gains and losses in OCI
that related to the associate or joint venture.
Changes in ownership interests
When acquiring additional interests:
• of a financial asset (such that it becomes an associate, joint
venture or subsidiary), or
• in an investment in an associate or joint venture (such that it
becomes a subsidiary), where the underlying entity constitutes
a business, previously held interests are revalued to their fair
value and any gain or loss is recognised in investment income
as part other operating income and charges.
Similarly, when selling ownership interests of a subsidiary
(such that control is lost), or an investment in an associate or
joint venture (such that it becomes a financial asset), retained
ownership interests are revalued to their fair value and any
gain or loss is recognised in investment income as part of other
operating income and charges. Retained ownership interests
are not revalued where the sale represents a contribution to an
associate or joint venture.
Increases and decreases in the Consolidated Entity’s interest
in a subsidiary (that do not result in the loss of control)
are accounted for directly within equity. Increases in the
Consolidated Entity’s ownership interest in an associate or joint
venture are accounted for as an increase in the carrying value
of the interest in associate or joint venture. The difference
between the reduction in the Consolidated Entity’s interest
in an associate or joint venture that remains an associate or
joint venture and the fair value of consideration received is
accounted for as a gain or loss within investment income as
part of other operating income and charges. A proportionate
amount of associated OCI is reclassified to profit or loss, or
reclassified within equity, as would otherwise be required on
disposal of the underlying position.
(ii) Business combinations
Distinguishing between whether assets or a business is acquired
involves judgement. The Consolidated Entity identifies a
business where an acquired integrated set of activities and
assets includes an economic resource (input) and a substantive
process that together significantly contribute to the ability to
provide goods or services to customers, generate investment
income or other income from ordinary activities (outputs).
On a transaction-by-transaction basis, the Consolidated
Entity may use a practical expedient to determine that
an acquired set of activities is not a business. Under this
assessment, the transaction is accounted for as an asset
acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the gross
assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset
or group of similar identifiable assets.
Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Note 44
Significant accounting policies continued
(ii) Business combinations continued
Business combinations are accounted for using the
acquisition method. The consideration exchanged is
measured as the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair values
of assets transferred, equity instruments issued, and liabilities
incurred. Transaction costs of a business combination are
recognised directly in the consolidated income statement as
part of other operating expenses.
Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
at fair value on the acquisition date. The Consolidated Entity
elects, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, to initially
measure NCI either at fair value or at the NCI’s proportionate
share of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration
exchanged, recognised NCI, and the fair value of previously
held equity interests over the fair value of the identifiable net
assets of the business acquired and is recognised as part of
intangible assets in the Statement of financial position. Goodwill
is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
If the consideration is less than the Consolidated Entity’s
share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the
business acquired, the difference is recognised in investment
income as part of other operating income and charges,
but only after a reassessment of the identification and
measurement of the net assets acquired.
Contingent consideration that is dependent on any
subsequent event is measured at fair value with changes
in its fair value recognised in investment income as part of
other operating income and charges.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is
deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted
to their present values as at the acquisition date. The
discount rate used is the Consolidated Entity’s incremental
borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing
could be obtained from an independent financier under
comparable terms and conditions.
(iii) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity in the Consolidated
Entity is determined as the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates. The
Consolidated Entity and the Company’s financial statements
are presented in Australian dollars (the presentation
currency), which is also the Company’s functional currency.
Transactions and balances
At initial recognition, a foreign currency transaction is
translated into the entity’s functional currency using the
spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the
foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
At the end of each reporting period:
• foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are
translated using the closing exchange rate
• non-monetary items (including equity) measured in
terms of historical cost in a foreign currency remain
translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the
transaction, and
• non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
date that the fair value was measured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the
settlement or translation of monetary items, or
non-monetary items measured at fair value are recognised
in net trading income, with one exception. Where such
monetary items are designated as hedging instruments
in qualifying cash flow hedge or net investment hedge
relationships, the foreign exchange gains and losses may be
deferred in OCI to the extent the hedge is effective (refer
to Note 35 Hedge accounting and Note 44(x) Derivative
instruments and hedging activities).
Subsidiaries and other entities
The results and financial position of all entities that have
a functional currency other than Australian dollars are
translated into Australian dollars as follows:
• assets and liabilities for each Statement of financial
position presented are translated at the closing exchange
rate at the date of that Statement of financial position.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the
acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets
and liabilities of the foreign operation and are translated at
the closing exchange rate
• income and expenses for each income statement are
translated at actual or average exchange rates at the
dates of the transactions
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised in OCI
within a separate component of reserves, being the
foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR).
Foreign currency gains and losses on intragroup loans are
recognised in the income statement except where the
loan is in substance part of the Consolidated Entity’s net
investment in the foreign operation, in which case the foreign
currency gains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated
Entity’s FCTR.
The exchange gains or losses recognised in FCTR are
reclassified to the income statement or reattributed within
equity as follows:
• if there is a disposal of a foreign operation, then the
accumulated FCTR is reclassified from OCI to investment
income within other operating income and charges
• if there is a partial disposal of a foreign operation that
is an associate or joint arrangement, without loss of
significant influence or joint control, then a proportionate
share of the accumulated FCTR is reclassified to
investment income
• if there is a partial disposal of a foreign operation that is a
subsidiary, without loss of control, then a proportionate
share of the accumulated FCTR is reattributed within
equity to non-controlling interests.

Significant accounting policies continued
(iv) Revenue and expense recognition
Net interest income
Interest income and interest expense (with the exception
of borrowing costs that are capitalised on a qualifying asset
which is not measured at fair value) are recognised using
the effective interest rate (EIR) method for financial assets
and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost, and debt
financial assets classified as at fair value through OCI. The
EIR method calculates the amortised cost of a financial
instrument at a rate that discounts estimated future cash
receipts or payments through the expected life of the
financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the
financial asset or liability. Fees and transaction costs that are
integral to the lending arrangement are recognised in interest
income or interest expense, as applicable, over the expected
life (or, when appropriate, a shorter period) of the instrument
in accordance with the EIR method.
When the estimates of payments or receipts of a financial
instrument are subsequently revised, the carrying amount
is adjusted to reflect the actual or revised cash flows with
the remeasurement recognised as part of interest income
(financial assets) or interest expense (financial liabilities).
The calculation of the EIR does not include ECL, except for
financial assets which on initial recognition are classified
as purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI). Interest
income on these assets is determined using a credit adjusted
EIR by discounting the estimated future cash receipts,
including credit losses expected at initial recognition, through
the expected life of the financial instrument to the net
carrying amount of the financial asset.
Interest income on financial assets that are not credit
impaired is determined by applying the financial asset’s
EIR to the financial asset’s gross carrying amount. Interest
income on financial assets that are not classified as POCI but
are subsequently classified as credit-impaired (stage III), is
recognised by applying the EIR to the amortised cost carrying
value (being the gross carrying value after deducting the
impairment loss).
Interest income and expense on financial assets and liabilities
that are classified as FVTPL is accounted for on a contractual
rate basis.
Fee and commission income
Revenue earned by the Consolidated Entity from its
contracts with customers primarily consists of the following
categories of fee and commission income:
Base and other asset management fees, and
performance fees
The Consolidated Entity earns base and other asset
management and performance fees for providing asset
management services for listed and unlisted funds, managed
accounts and co-investments arrangements. It has been
determined that the provision of asset management services
is typically a single performance obligation.
270
Base management fees are recognised over the life of the
contract as the asset management services are provided.
Any associated performance fees are deemed to be a
variable component of the same asset management
service and are recognised only when it is highly probable
that the performance hurdles are met, and a significant
reversal of cumulative fees recognised to date will not occur.
Determining the amount and timing of performance fees
to be recognised involves judgement, the use of estimates
(including management estimates of underlying asset values)
and consideration of a number of criteria relating to both the
fund or managed account in which the asset(s) are held, as
well as the underlying asset(s), such as:
• the extent to which performance fee liabilities have been
accrued by the fund or managed account to date or
consideration of the current valuation case of the assets
in relation to the related performance fee hurdle rate
• the proportion of assets realised and returns on
those assets
• nature of remaining underlying fund or managed account’s
assets and potential downside valuation risks on each
• time remaining until realisation of the assets and the
fund’s life or asset management services’ timeline
• consideration of the ability to dispose of the asset,
including any barriers to divest.
Mergers and acquisitions, advisory and
underwriting fees
The Consolidated Entity earns revenue through its role as
advisor on corporate transactions as well as through its role
as manager and underwriter of equity and debt issuances.
The revenue from these arrangements is recognised at a
point in time, and when it has been established that the
customer has received the benefit of the service such that
the performance obligation is satisfied. For advisory services
this is typically at the time of closing the transaction.
Where mandates contain rights to invoice upon reaching
certain milestones, the Consolidated Entity assesses
whether distinct services have been transferred at these
milestones and accordingly recognises revenue. If not,
the fee recognition will be deferred until such time as the
performance obligation has been completed. Management
of capital raisings and underwriting of debt or equity capital
raisings are each considered distinct performance obligations
that are typically satisfied on the allocation date of the
underwritten securities.
Brokerage and other trading‑related income
The Consolidated Entity enters into contracts with
customers to act as an agent to buy and sell securities. The
brokerage and commission income related to this service is
recognised on trade date and is presented net of any rebates.
Other fee and commission income
Other fee and commission income includes fees earned on
a range of banking products and services platforms, wealth
services, credit cards, structuring fees, lending services, stock
borrow and lending activities and income on structured
products which is recognised when the performance
obligation is satisfied.
Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Note 44
Significant accounting policies continued
(iv) Revenue and expense recognition continued
Net operating lease income
Operating lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. It comprises operating lease income
and supplemental rent and is presented net of the related
depreciation expense.
Supplemental rent, maintenance liability and end of
lease compensation
Generally, under operating lease contracts the lessee is
responsible for maintenance. Supplementary rent received
from lessees in relation to maintenance is recognised as
a maintenance liability where the lessee is responsible for
maintenance and the Consolidated Entity is obligated to
reimburse lessees for the maintenance.
In certain circumstances, the Consolidated Entity, as lessor,
agrees to an alternative mechanism related to maintenance
known as end of lease compensation. This compensation
is typically calculated on the basis of the condition of each
major component at the end of the lease relative to the
commencement of the lease measured by hours, number
of cycles or calendar time at an agreed rate specified in the
lease. The expected compensation for the use of the asset
is accrued over the term of the lease and receipt of this
compensation is deferred until the end of the lease.
In other leases, the lessee is required to enter into a contract
with an approved third-party maintenance service provider
and make payments on a monthly basis to the service
provider based on hours operated.
Maintenance liabilities are recognised separately and are
disclosed in Note 23 Held for sale and other liabilities.
Other operating income and charges
Other operating income and charges includes investment
income, and other income.
Investment income includes gains and losses arising from
subsequent changes in the fair values of equity and debt
investment securities that are classified as FVTPL and
dividends or distributions on these securities which represent
the return on such investments. Impairment losses/reversal
of impairment losses on these financial assets are not
reported separately.
Gains or losses on the change of control, joint control and/or
significant influence and reclassifications to/from held
for sale also forms part of investment income. Refer to
Note 44(i) Principles of consolidation for details on the timing
of recognition of such gains or losses.
Dividends
Dividends or distributions are recognised when the right to
receive a dividend or distribution is established, it is probable the
economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the
Consolidated Entity and the dividend can be measured reliably.
Dividends or distributions from HFT assets are recognised in
net trading income, as investment income as part of other
operating income and charges for other financial assets
measured at FVTPL or FVOCI, or as a reduction to the
carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint
ventures in the Consolidated Entity’s Statement of financial
position. Where associates and joint ventures are classified as
held for sale, dividends or distributions are recognised within
other income as part of other operating income and charges.
Judgement is applied in determining whether distributions
from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are to be
recognised as dividend income or as a return of capital.
Distributions that represent a return of capital are accounted
for by the Company as a reduction to the cost of its
investment and are otherwise recognised by the Company
within investment income as part of other operating income
and charges when the recognition criteria are met.
Expenses
Expenses are recognised in the income statement as and
when the provision of services is received.
(v) Segment reporting
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal
reports to Senior Management about components of
the Consolidated Entity that are regularly reviewed by
Senior Management who have been identified as the chief
operating decision makers, in order to allocate resources
to the segment and to assess its performance. Information
reported to Senior Management for the purposes of resource
allocation and assessment of performance is specifically
focused on core products and services offered, comprising
five reportable segments as disclosed in Note 3
Segment reporting.
Information about products and services is based on the
financial information used to produce the Consolidated
Entity’s financial statements. Information about
geographical segments is based on the jurisdiction of the
respective entities.
(vi) Taxation
The balance sheet approach to tax effect accounting has
been adopted whereby the income tax expense for the
financial year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable
income adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
in the financial statements, and unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets are recognised when temporary
differences arise between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their respective carrying amounts which give
rise to a future tax benefit, or when a benefit arises due to
unused tax losses. In both cases, deferred tax assets are
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available against which to utilise
those temporary differences or tax losses.

(vi) Taxation continued
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised when such temporary
differences give rise to taxable amounts that are payable
in future periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognised at the tax rates expected to apply when the
assets are recovered, or the liabilities are settled under
enacted or substantively enacted tax law.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is
a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the
same taxation authority.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset and an intention to either
settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred taxes attributable to amounts
recognised in OCI are also recognised in OCI.
The Consolidated Entity exercises judgement in determining
whether deferred tax assets, particularly in relation to tax
losses, are probable of recovery.
Factors considered include the ability to offset tax losses
within the tax consolidated group in Australia or groups
of entities in overseas jurisdictions, the nature of the tax
loss, the length of time that tax losses are eligible for carry
forward to offset against future taxable profits and whether
future taxable profits are expected to be sufficient to allow
recovery of deferred tax assets.
The Consolidated Entity undertakes transactions in the
ordinary course of business where the income tax treatment
requires the exercise of judgement. The Consolidated
Entity estimates the amount expected to be paid to/
(recovered from) tax authorities based on its understanding
and interpretation of the law. Uncertain tax positions are
presented as current or deferred tax assets or liabilities with
reference to the nature of the underlying uncertainty.
Tax consolidation
The Consolidated Entity’s Australian tax liabilities are
determined according to tax consolidation legislation.
The Company, together with all eligible Australian resident
wholly owned subsidiaries, comprise a tax consolidated group
with the Company as the head entity. As a consequence,
the relevant subsidiaries are not liable to make income tax
payments and do not recognise any current tax balances or
any deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses.
The tax consolidated group recognises its current and
deferred taxes using the ‘group allocation approach’ detailed
in AASB Interpretation 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting.
Under the terms and conditions of a tax funding agreement,
the Company charges each subsidiary for all current tax
liabilities incurred in respect of their activities and reimburses
each subsidiary for any tax assets arising from unused
tax losses.
272
Should the Company be in default of its tax payment
obligations, or a default is probable, the current tax balances
of its subsidiaries will be determined in accordance with the
terms and conditions of a tax sharing agreement between
the Company and entities in the tax consolidated group.
Goods and Services tax (GST)
Where GST (or other value added tax) is not recoverable from
global tax authorities, it is either capitalised to the Statement
of financial position as part of the cost of the related asset or
is recognised as part of other operating expenses. Where GST
(or other value added tax) is recoverable from or payable to
global tax authorities, the amount is recorded as a separate
asset or liability in the Statement of financial position.
(vii) Financial instruments
Recognition of financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the Consolidated
Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instrument.
A financial instrument is initially recognised at fair value
and is adjusted (in the case of instruments not classified
at FVTPL) for transaction costs that are incremental and
directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the
financial instrument, and fees that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate. Transaction costs and fees paid or
received relating to financial instruments carried at FVTPL
are recorded in the income statement.
The best evidence of a financial instruments’ fair value at
initial recognition is its transaction price, unless its fair value
is evidenced by comparison with other observable current
market transactions in the same instrument or based on a
valuation technique for which variables include only inputs
from observable markets. Where such alternative evidence
exists, the Consolidated Entity recognises profit or loss
immediately when the instrument is recognised (‘day 1 profit
or loss’). When significant unobservable inputs are used
to determine fair value, the day 1 profit or loss is deferred
and is recognised in net trading income over the life of the
transaction or when the inputs become observable.
Financial instruments arising in multiple transactions are
accounted for as a single arrangement if this best reflects
the substance of the arrangement. Factors considered in this
assessment include whether the financial instruments:
• are entered into at the same time and in contemplation of
one another
• have the same counterparty
• relate to the same risk
• there is no apparent economic need or substantive
business purpose for structuring the transactions
separately that could not also have been accomplished in
a single transaction, or
• whether each of the financial instruments has its own
terms and conditions and may be transferred or
settled separately.

(vii) Financial instruments continued
Derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised from the Statement of
financial position when:
• the rights to cash flows have expired, or
• the Consolidated Entity has transferred the financial asset
such that it has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
A financial asset is transferred if, and only if, the Consolidated
Entity i) transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash
flows of the financial asset, or ii) retains the contractual rights
to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes
a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more
recipients in an arrangement where:
• the Consolidated Entity is not obligated to pay amounts
to the eventual recipients unless it collects equivalent
amounts from the original asset
• the Consolidated Entity is prohibited from selling or
pledging the original asset other than as security to the
eventual recipients, and
• the Consolidated Entity is obligated to remit any cash
flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients
without material delay.
In transactions where the Consolidated Entity neither retains
nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
of a financial asset, the asset is derecognised if control over the
asset is lost. Any interest in the transferred and derecognised
financial asset that is created or retained by the Consolidated
Entity is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
In transfers where control over the asset is retained, the
Consolidated Entity continues to recognise the asset to the
extent of its continuing involvement as determined by the
extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the
transferred asset.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised from the Statement of
financial position when the Consolidated Entity’s obligation
has been discharged, cancelled or has expired.
Gains and losses on the derecognition of debt
financial assets and liabilities
Gains and losses arising from the derecognition of debt
financial assets or financial liabilities are recognised in:
• net trading income in respect of trading-related balances
that are subsequently measured at amortised cost
• investment income within other operating income and
charges in respect of financial investments and loans to
associates, and
• other income and charges as part of other operating
income and charges for all other financial assets and
financial liabilities.
Financial guarantee contracts issued
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial
liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is
initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the
higher of:
• the amount determined in accordance with the expected
credit loss model under AASB 9, or
• the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate,
the cumulative amount of income recognised in
accordance with the principles of AASB 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers.
Modification of financial instruments
A financial instrument is modified when its original
contractual cash flows are renegotiated or modified. A
financial asset that is renegotiated is derecognised if the
rights to receive cash flows from the existing agreement have
expired, either through replacement by a new agreement
or the existing terms are modified to that effect. A financial
liability that is renegotiated is derecognised if the existing
agreement is cancelled and a new agreement is made on
substantially different terms or if the existing terms are
modified such that the renegotiated financial instrument
is a substantially different financial instrument. Where the
modification results in derecognition of the original financial
instrument, the new financial instrument is recorded initially
at its fair value and the resulting difference is recognised in
the income statement in accordance with the nature of the
financial instrument as described in the derecognition of
financial instruments policy.
For financial instruments measured at amortised cost,
and for debt financial assets measured at FVOCI, when the
modification does not result in derecognition, a gain or loss
is recognised in the income statement in accordance with
the nature of the financial instrument as described in the
derecognition of financial instruments policy. The gain or loss
is measured as the adjustment of the gross carrying amount
to reflect the renegotiated or modified contractual cash
flows, discounted at the instrument’s original EIR.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
Financial assets are classified based on the business model
within which the asset is held and on the basis of the financial
asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics.
Business model assessment
The Consolidated Entity uses judgement in determining
the business model at the level that reflects how groups of
financial assets are managed and its intention with respect
to its financial assets. In determining the business model,
all relevant evidence that is available at the date of the
assessment is used including:
• how the performance of the financial assets held within
that business model is evaluated and reported to the
Consolidated Entity’s Senior Management personnel and
senior executives

• the risks that affect the performance of the business
model (and the financial assets held within that business
model) and, in particular, the way in which those risks are
managed, and
• how managers of the business are compensated (for
example, whether the compensation is based on the fair
value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash
flows collected).
Solely payment of principal and interest (SPPI)
The contractual cash flows of a financial asset are assessed
to determine whether these represent SPPI on the principal
amount outstanding. This includes an assessment of whether
the cash flows primarily reflect consideration for the time
value of money and credit risk of the principal outstanding.
Interest may also include consideration for other basic
lending risks and costs.
Amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the EIR method where:
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows,
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise
on specified dates to cash flows that meet the SPPI
requirements, and
• the financial asset has not been classified as DFVTPL.
Interest income is determined in accordance with the
EIR method and recognised as part of interest and
similar income.
Fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at FVOCI if the
following conditions are met:
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose
objective is to both collect contractual cash flows and to
sell the financial asset,
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise
on specified dates to cash flows that meet the SPPI
requirements, and
• the financial asset has not been classified as DFVTPL.
Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in OCI, with
the exception of interest (which is recognised as part of
interest income), ECL (which is recognised in credit and other
impairment charges/reversal) and foreign exchange gains
and losses (which are recognised in net trading income) and
is net of any related hedge accounting adjustments. When
debt financial assets classified as at FVOCI are derecognised,
the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is
reclassified from OCI to investment income in respect of
debt financial investments and loans to associates, or to
other income and charges as part of other operating income
and charges for all other financial assets.
Fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be
measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are subsequently
measured at FVTPL.
For the purposes of the Consolidated Entity’s financial
statements, the FVTPL classification consists of the
following:
• financial assets that are held for active trading (held for
trading (HFT)). This classification includes all derivative
financial assets, except those that are designated as
hedging instruments in qualifying hedge relationships and
are classified as FVTPL
• financial assets in a business model whose objective is
achieved by managing the financial assets on a fair value
basis in order to realise gains and losses as opposed
to a business model in which the objective is to collect
contractual cash flows (FVTPL)
• financial assets that fail the SPPI test (FVTPL), and
• financial assets that have been designated to be measured
at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or
significantly reduce an accounting mismatch (DFVTPL).
Equity financial assets that are not held for active trading
are measured at FVTPL. Subsequent changes in fair value
are recognised as investment income within other operating
income and charges.
Subsequent changes in the fair value of debt financial assets
measured at FVTPL are presented as follows:
• changes in the fair value of financial assets that are
classified as HFT and financial assets managed on a fair
value basis are recognised in net trading income
• changes in the fair value of debt financial investments
and loans to associates and joint ventures that fail SPPI
are recognised in investment income as part of other
operating income and charges
• changes in the fair value of all other FVTPL and DFVTPL
financial assets are recognised as part of other income
and charges within other operating income and charges.
Where applicable, the interest component of these financial
assets is recognised as interest and similar income.

(vii) Financial instruments continued
Reclassification of financial instruments
The Consolidated Entity reclassifies debt financial assets
when and only when its business model for managing those
assets changes. Financial assets that are reclassified are
subsequently measured based on the financial asset’s new
measurement category.
The Consolidated Entity does not reclassify financial liabilities
after initial recognition.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised
cost, unless they are either HFT, or have been designated to
be measured at FVTPL (DFVTPL). A financial liability may be
DFVTPL if:
• such a designation eliminates or significantly reduces an
accounting mismatch that would otherwise have arisen
• a group of financial liabilities, or financial assets and
financial liabilities, is managed and its performance is
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a
documented risk management or investment strategy, or
• the liability contains embedded derivatives which must
otherwise be separated and carried at fair value.
All derivative financial liabilities are classified as HFT, except
those that are designated as hedging instruments in
qualifying hedge relationships and are classified as FVTPL.
Refer to Note 44(x) Derivative instruments and hedging
activities for the detailed hedge accounting policy.
Changes in the fair value of financial liabilities that are not
classified as HFT are, with the exception of changes in fair
value relating to changes in the Consolidated Entity’s own
credit risk, that are presented separately in OCI and are not
subsequently reclassified to profit or loss, recognised in
other income and charges as part of other operating income
and charges.
Where applicable, the interest component of these financial
liabilities is recognised as interest and similar expense.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the
net amount reported in the Statement of financial position,
when there is a current legally enforceable right to offset
the amounts and either there is an intention to settle on a
net basis or realise the financial asset and settle the financial
liability simultaneously.
(viii) Cash collateral on securities borrowed and lent and
repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements
As part of its trading and financing activities, the Consolidated
Entity borrows and lends securities, commodities and other
assets (‘underlying’) on a collateralised basis. The underlying
that is subject to the arrangement is not derecognised from
the Statement of financial position of the relevant parties,
as the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the
initial holder.
These transactions include:
• reverse repurchase transactions, where the
Consolidated Entity purchases an underlying under an
agreement to resell
• repurchase transactions, where the Consolidated Entity
sells an underlying under an agreement to repurchase.
The Consolidated Entity continually reviews the fair values
of the underlying on which the above transactions are based
and where appropriate, requests or provides additional
collateral to support the transactions, in accordance with the
terms of the respective agreements.
Reverse repurchase agreements are measured as follows by
the Consolidated Entity:
• agreements that are collateralised with commodities
are measured at amortised cost when they are held in
a business model to collect contractual cash flows and
AASB 9’s SPPI criteria are met
• agreements that are held within the Consolidated Entity’s
cash and liquid assets portfolio are measured at FVOCI
as they are held in a business model to both collect
contractual cash flows and with the intention to sell
• all other reverse repurchase agreements are measured
at FVTPL to reflect the Consolidated Entity’s business
model to realise fair value gains and losses as opposed
to a business model in which the objective is to collect
contractual cash flows.
Also refer to Note 37 Measurement categories of
financial instruments.
Repurchase agreements are subsequently measured
at amortised cost, except where they are DFVTPL to
eliminate an accounting mismatch created by managing the
agreements together with the associated reverse repurchase
agreements that are measured at FVTPL.
(ix) Trading assets and liabilities
The Consolidated Entity uses trade date accounting when
recording regular way purchases and sales of financial
assets and liabilities that are classified as HFT. At the date
a purchase transaction is entered into (trade date), the
Consolidated Entity recognises the resulting financial asset
or liability and any subsequent unrealised gain or loss arising
from revaluing that contract to fair value as part of net
trading income, except for interest income on HFT debt
financial assets which is recognised in interest income. Refer
to Note 44(vii) Financial instruments.
Trading assets (long positions) comprise financial instruments
such as debt and equity securities, bank bills, treasury
notes, and loans, commodity contracts and commodities
purchased with the intent of being actively traded either
individually or as part of a portfolio.
Trading liabilities comprise obligations to deliver assets (short
positions) across the same trading categories and which the
Consolidated Entity intends to actively trade.

Hedge accounting
As part of its ongoing business, the Consolidated Entity
is exposed to several financial risks, principally that of
interest rate, foreign exchange rate and commodity price
risk (collectively referred to as the hedged risk or exposure).
The Consolidated Entity has limited appetite for such risks
and has policies and practices in place to ensure that these
risks are effectively managed. The Consolidated Entity
mitigates these risks through the use of derivative financial
instruments, and, in the case of foreign currency risk,
foreign-denominated debt issued (collectively referred to as
hedging instruments). The Consolidated Entity applies hedge
accounting to manage accounting mismatches arising from
the difference in measurement bases or location of the gains
and losses recognised between the exposure that is being
hedged and the hedging instrument. Refer to details provided
in the table on the following page.
Note 44
Significant accounting policies continued
(ix) Trading assets and liabilities continued
Commodity inventory is recognised when the Consolidated
Entity controls the commodity, the determination of which
includes consideration of price risk, and is measured at fair
value less costs to sell in accordance with the broker-trader
exemption, on the basis that such assets are acquired with
the purpose of selling in the near future and generating a
profit from fluctuations in price or broker traders’ margin.
When the Consolidated Entity becomes party to a sale
contract, and the derecognition criteria are met (refer to
Note 44(vii) Financial instruments), it derecognises the trading
asset or liability and recognises a trade receivable or trade
payable from trade date until settlement date.
(x) Derivative instruments and hedging activities
Derivative instruments entered into by the Consolidated
Entity include futures, forwards and forward rate
agreements, swaps and options in the interest rate,
foreign exchange, commodity, credit and equity
markets. These derivative instruments are principally
used by the Consolidated Entity for the purposes of risk
management of existing financial assets and liabilities and
forecast transactions and are also entered into for client
trading purposes.
Derivatives are recognised in the Statement of financial
position as an asset where they have a positive fair value at
the reporting date or as a liability where they have a negative
fair value at the reporting date.
Derivatives that may have both positive or negative values
must meet both the asset and liability derecognition
tests before being derecognised from the Statement of
financial position.
Fair values are obtained from quoted prices in active markets
where available, or valuation techniques including discounted
cash flow models and option pricing models, as appropriate.
The accounting for derivatives is subject to the application
of the day 1 profit or loss policy as described in Note 44(vii)
Financial instruments.
The Consolidated Entity applies trade date accounting to the
recognition and derecognition of derivative financial instruments.

Designation and
documentation
At inception of the hedge relationship, documentation is required of the risk management objective and strategy for
the hedge, the hedging instrument, hedged item, hedged risk and how the hedge relationship will meet the hedge
effectiveness requirements.
Hedge
effectiveness
method
All hedge relationships are assessed for prospective hedge effectiveness both at the inception of the hedge, at each
reporting period and following any significant change in circumstances affecting the hedge, by demonstrating that:
• an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedging instrument
• credit risk does not dominate the changes in value of either the hedged item or the hedging instrument; and
• the hedge ratio is reflective of the Consolidated Entity’s risk management approach.
The hedge effectiveness assessment is performed by a combination of qualitative and, where applicable,
quantitative assessments. Changes in the hedge ratio, or rebalancing, may be required to adjust the designated
quantities of either the hedged item or the hedging instrument.
Accounting
treatment for
the hedging
instrument
Fair value through the income
statement, aligned to the
presentation of the hedged item.
Fair value through the cash flow
hedge reserve as part of OCI, and
then recognised in the income
statement at the time at which the
hedged item affects the income
statement for the hedged risk.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
are recognised in the Net Investment
Hedge Reserve (NIHR), a separate
component of FCTR in OCI.
Accounting
treatment for
the hedged
item
Adjustments to the carrying value
are recognised in the income
statement for changes in fair
value attributable to the
hedged risk.
Accounted for on an amortised cost
basis or under other accounting
standards as appropriate (such as
executory contracts for the sale of
commodities).
Foreign exchange gains and losses are
recognised in the Consolidated Entity’s
foreign currency translation reserve as
part of OCI.

Recognised as part of net

statement to the extent that
changes in fair value of the
hedged item attributable to
the hedged risk are not offset
by changes in fair value of the
hedging instrument.
Where the hedged item still

EIR basis.
Recognised as part of net trading income in the income statement
to the extent to which changes in the fair value of the hedging
instrument exceed, in absolute terms, the change in the fair value of
the hedged item.
The gain or loss remains in the
cash flow hedge reserve to
the extent that the hedged
cash flows are still expected to
take place and subsequently
recognised in the income
statement at the time at which
the hedged item affects the
income statement for the
hedged risk.
Where the hedged cash flows
are no longer expected to take
place, the gain or loss in the cash
flow hedge reserve is recognised
immediately in the income
statement.
The exchange gains or losses
recognised in the NIHR
within FCTR are reclassified
to the income statement or
reattributed within equity as
follows:
• if the hedge is discontinued
due to a disposal of the
hedged foreign operation,
then the accumulated NIHR
is reclassified from OCI to
investment income within
other operating income
and charges
• if there is a partial disposal
of a foreign operation that
is an associate or joint
arrangement, without loss of
significant influence or joint
control, then a proportionate
share of the accumulated
NIHR is reclassified to
investment income
• if there is a partial disposal
of a foreign operation that is
a subsidiary, without loss of
control, then a proportionate
share of the accumulated NIHR
is reattributed within equity to
non-controlling interests.
Other accounting policies
None
The foreign currency basis spread of the hedging instrument, being
the liquidity charge for exchanging different currencies, is excluded
from the hedge designation. This spread is deferred in the cost of
hedging reserve and released to the income statement at the time
at which the hedged exposure affects the income statement.

Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Right-of-use (ROU) assets are measured at cost and comprise
of the amount that corresponds to the amount recognised
for the lease liability on initial recognition together with any
lease payments made at or before the commencement date
(less any lease incentives received), initial direct costs and
restoration-related costs.
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
includes assets leased out under operating leases.
Depreciation to allocate the difference between cost and
residual values over the estimated useful life is calculated on
the following bases:
• diminishing balance method for aviation assets
• unit of production method for certain
infrastructure assets
• straight-line basis for all other assets.
A ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.

(xi) Margin money and settlement assets and liabilities
Margin money and settlement assets and liabilities includes
trade settlement balances, margin monies and balances with
clearing houses. Margin monies primarily represent deposits
placed with clearing houses in relation to futures trading and
other derivatives transactions. The balance includes both
initial and variance margin which varies based on trading
activities. The balance also includes client margin calls which
are funded by the Consolidated Entity. Settlement balances
represent outstanding trade timing balances as at the
reporting date due to the timing difference between trade
and settlement date. Balances are carried at amortised cost
except for certain margin money balances that are held in
money market funds and certain settlement balances which
are carried at FVTPL.
(xii) Financial investments
Investment securities in this category include investments in
equity or debt securities which are not actively traded by the
Consolidated Entity.
Debt investment securities in this category comprise bonds,
negotiable certificates of deposits (NCD), floating rate notes
(FRN), commercial paper and other debt securities.
Financial investments are initially recognised on trade date at
fair value (adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs
for debt investments subsequently measured at FVOCI)
and subsequently measured in accordance with Note 44(vii)
Financial instruments.
(xiii) Loan Assets
This category includes loans that are not held for trading
purposes and typically includes the Consolidated Entity’s
lending activities to its customers.
Loan assets are initially recognised on settlement date at fair
value (adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs
for loan assets subsequently measured at amortised cost or
FVOCI) and subsequently measured in accordance with
Note 44 (vii) Financial instruments.
Certain finance lease receivables are also presented as
part of asset financing within loan assets. For the detailed
policy on financial instruments, including treatment of
derecognition, refer to Note 44(vii) Financial instruments.
(xiv) Property, plant and equipment and
right‑of‑use assets
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost
(which includes, where applicable, directly attributable
borrowing costs and expenditure directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset) less, accumulated depreciation and,
where applicable, accumulated impairment losses.
(1) Where remaining lease terms are less than five years, leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining lease term.
(2) Includes infrastructure assets, for which depreciation is calculated on a unit of production basis.
(3) Includes aircraft, for which depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis.
279
Certain other intangible assets held for trading, including
emission certificates, are measured at fair value less costs
to sell in accordance with the broker-trader exemption (on
the basis that such assets are acquired with the purpose
of selling in the near future and generating a profit from
fluctuations in price or broker traders’ margin).
Amortisation of intangible assets held by trading related
business is recorded in net trading income and for others
is recognised in other operating expenses. Impairments
(reversal of impairments) of intangible assets are recognised
in other impairment charges/reversal.
Software
Certain internal and external costs directly incurred in
acquiring and developing certain computer software
programmes are capitalised and amortised over the
estimated useful life, usually a period of three to seven years
on a straight-line basis. The capitalised software asset is
subject to impairment testing on an annual basis.
Costs incurred on the maintenance of software is expensed
as incurred and recognised in other operating expenses.
(xvi) Deposits
Deposits include customer deposits, business banking
and home loan related deposits, deposits from financial
institutions and other balances such as client monies.
These deposits are initially recognised at fair value less
directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently
measured at amortised cost.
(xvii) Other assets and liabilities
Contract assets, contract liabilities and capitalised expenses
Where the Consolidated Entity provides services to
clients and the consideration is unconditional, a receivable
is recognised. Where the consideration is conditional
on something other than the passage of time, such as
performance fees, these are recorded as contract assets.
Both receivables and contract assets are assessed for
impairment in accordance with AASB 9.
The Consolidated Entity, as permitted by AASB 15, has
applied the practical expedient that allows for costs incurred
to obtain a contract to be expensed as incurred where the
amortisation period for any asset recognised would be
less than 12 months. The Consolidated Entity also applies
the practical expedient not to adjust consideration for the
effects of a significant financing component, where the
period between transferring a good or service and when the
customer pays for that good or service is expected to be one
year or less.
Contract liabilities relate to prepayments received from
customers where the Consolidated Entity is yet to satisfy its
performance obligation.
Note 44
Significant accounting policies continued
(xiv) Property, plant and equipment and
right‑of‑use assets continued
The depreciation charge relating to corporate building
leases is presented as part of Occupancy expenses while
depreciation relating to leases entered into or assets held
by trading-related businesses for the purpose of facilitating
trading activities is presented as part of Net trading income.
All other depreciation is presented as part of Other operating
expenses. The Consolidated Entity does not recognise a ROU
asset for short-term or low value leases, instead the expense
is recognised over the lease term as appropriate as part of
operating expenses.
(xv) Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration,
recognised NCI, and the fair value of previously held equity
interests over the fair value of the identifiable net assets
of the business acquired. Goodwill arising from business
combinations is included in intangible assets in the
Statement of financial position.
Other acquired identifiable intangible assets
At the time at which the Consolidated Entity determines that
it has acquired a business, the Consolidated Entity identifies
intangible assets that are required to be initially recognised
at fair value. An intangible asset is considered to have an
indefinite useful life where it is expected to contribute to the
Consolidated Entity’s net cash inflows indefinitely.
The following intangible assets are typically identified and
recognised by the Consolidated Entity:
• licences and trading rights: generally carried at cost less
accumulated impairment loss. Where no contractual or
legal limitation exists, these assets are not amortised
because they are considered to have an indefinite
useful life
• management rights: carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment loss. Certain
management right intangible assets, which have indefinite
useful lives as the underlying income stream is related
to the management of funds that have no defined end
date and are expected to operate perpetually, are not
amortised. For management rights that have a finite
useful life, amortisation is calculated using the straight-line
method to allocate the cost of management rights
over the estimated useful life usually being a period not
exceeding 20 years
• customer and servicing contracts acquired with a finite
useful life: carried at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment loss. Amortisation is
calculated over the period for which the customer
relationship is expected to exist
• customer and servicing contracts with an indefinite useful
life: carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

(xvii) Other assets and liabilities continued
Non‑current assets and liabilities of disposal groups
classified as held for sale
This category includes assets and disposal groups (groups
of assets to be disposed in a single transaction and directly
attributable liabilities) for which the carrying amount will
be recovered principally through a sale or distribution
transaction rather than continuing use. This includes assets
and liabilities of businesses and subsidiaries, associates and
joint ventures, other assets and liabilities, and subsidiaries
that are acquired exclusively with a view to sell or distribute.
These assets and disposal groups are classified as held for
sale when they are available for immediate sale in their
present condition and the sale or distribution is highly
probable, including that the sale or distribution is expected
to occur within 12 months. Where there is a planned partial
disposal of a subsidiary resulting in loss of control, but the
Consolidated Entity retains an interest in the disposed
subsidiary, the entire carrying value of the subsidiary’s assets
and liabilities is classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets and liabilities of disposal groups classified
as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying
amount and fair value less costs to sell. Equity accounting,
depreciation and amortisation is suspended when the held
for sale criteria are met.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent
write down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell and
is recognised in other impairment charges/reversal. A gain
is recognised for any subsequent increase in fair value
less costs to sell, limited to the cumulative impairment
loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously
recognised by the date of sale is recognised at the
date of sale.
Financial assets and liabilities that are classified as held for
sale are measured in accordance with the Consolidated
Entity’s financial instruments’ policies.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when it is probable that an outflow
of economic benefits will be required to settle a present legal
or constructive obligation that has arisen as a result of past
events and for which a reliable estimate can be made.
Contingent liabilities, which generally include letters of
credit, indemnities, performance-related contingents
and guarantees (other than financial guarantees) are not
recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed
in the notes to the financial statements unless they are
considered remote.
Employee benefit provisions
Employee benefit provisions are recognised by the
Consolidated Entity as and when the service has been
rendered after deducting amounts already paid. Liabilities for
unpaid salaries, salary-related costs and provisions for annual
leave are recorded in the Statement of financial position
at the salary rates which are expected to be paid when the
liability is settled. Provisions for long service leave and other
long-term benefits are recognised at the present value of
expected future payments to be made.
In determining this amount, consideration is given to
expected future salary levels and employee service histories.
Expected future payments are discounted to their net
present value using discount rates on high quality corporate
bonds, except where there is no deep market, in which case
rates on Government securities are used. Such discount rates
have terms that match as closely as possible the expected
future cash flows.
Provisions for unpaid employee benefits are derecognised
when the benefit is settled or is transferred to another entity
and the Company and Consolidated Entity are legally released
from the obligation and do not retain a constructive obligation.
Dividends
Where a dividend is determined or resolved by the
Company’s Board of Directors, consideration is given to
the record date when determining the date on which the
provision for the dividend is recognised in the Statement of
financial position as a liability, with a corresponding reduction
in retained earnings.
(xviii) Borrowings
Borrowings include loans and other payables due to banks
and financial institutions. These balances are subsequently
measured at amortised cost.
(xix) Due to/from subsidiaries
Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries
principally arise from the provision of lending arrangements
and acceptance of funds on deposit, intercompany services
and transactions and the provision of financial guarantees,
and are accounted for in accordance with Note 44(iv)
Revenue and expense recognition and Note 44(vii) Financial
instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are
presented net where the offsetting requirements are met
(Note 44(vii)), such that the net amount is reported in the
Statement of financial position.

(xx) Debt issued
Debt issued includes debt securities issued by the
Consolidated Entity. These balances are subsequently
measured at either amortised cost or are DFVTPL and
measured at fair value in accordance with the Consolidated
Entity’s accounting policy for financial instruments, refer to
Note 44(vii) Financial instruments.
(xxi) Loan capital
Loan capital represents issued debt with terms and
conditions that qualify for inclusion as capital under
Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) Standards.
Capital instruments are first assessed to determine whether
the Consolidated Entity is required to deliver cash or another
financial asset on the occurrence of a contingent event that
is considered genuine and is beyond the control of both
the issuer and the holder (such as Common Equity Tier 1
Trigger Events or Non-Viability Trigger Events). Where such
a contingent event exists, the Consolidated Entity does
not have the unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or
another financial asset and the capital instrument is classified
as a financial liability. The financial liability is initially measured
at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and is
subsequently measured at amortised.
For compound instruments that have both equity and
liability features, the liability component is initially measured
at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs
(and is thereafter measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method), with the residual being accounted for within the
Consolidated Entity’s equity.
(xxii) Impairment
Expected credit losses
The ECL requirements apply to financial assets measured
at amortised cost or FVOCI, lease receivables, amounts
receivable from contracts with customers, loan
commitments, certain letters of credit and financial
guarantee contracts issued that are not DFVTPL. The
Consolidated Entity applies a three-stage approach to
measuring the ECL based on changes in the financial asset’s
underlying credit risk and includes forward looking and
macroeconomic information (FLI).
The calculation of ECL requires judgement and the choice
of inputs, estimates and assumptions. Refer to Note 13
Expected credit losses for further information. Outcomes
within the next financial period that are different from
management’s assumptions and estimates could result in
changes to the timing and amount of ECL to be recognised.
The ECL is determined with reference to the following stages:
Stage I – 12 month ECL
At initial recognition, and for financial assets for which there
has not been a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since
initial recognition, ECL is determined based on the probability
of default (PD) over the next 12 months and the lifetime
losses associated with such PD, adjusted for FLI.
(i) Stage II – Not credit‑impaired
When there has been a SICR since initial recognition, the
ECL is determined with reference to the financial asset’s
lifetime PD and the lifetime losses associated with that PD,
adjusted for FLI. The Consolidated Entity exercises judgement
in determining whether there has been a SICR since initial
recognition based on qualitative, quantitative, and reasonable
and supportable information that includes FLI. Detail on the
Consolidated Entity’s process to determine whether there
has been a SICR is provided in Note 13 Expected credit losses.
Use of alternative criteria could result in significant changes to
the timing and amount of ECL to be recognised. Lifetime ECL
is generally determined based upon the contractual maturity
of the financial asset. For revolving facilities, the Consolidated
Entity exercises judgement based on the behavioural, rather
than contractual characteristics of the facility type.
(ii) Stage III – Credit‑impaired
Financial assets are classified as stage III where they are
determined to be credit impaired, which generally matches
the APRA definition of default. This includes exposures that
are at least 90 days past due and where the obligor is unlikely
to pay without recourse against available collateral.
The ECL for credit impaired financial assets is generally
measured as the difference between the contractual and
expected cash flows from the individual exposure, discounted
using the EIR for that exposure. For credit-impaired exposures
that are modelled collectively for portfolios of exposures,
ECL is measured as the product of the lifetime PD, the
loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD),
adjusted for FLI.
(iii) Purchased or originated credit‑impaired financial
assets (POCI)
POCI financial assets are initially recognised at fair value with
interest income subsequently determined using a credit-adjusted
EIR, which is the EIR adjusted for ECL on initial recognition.
This ECL is measured as the product of the lifetime PD, LGD
and EAD adjusted for FLI or by discounting the difference
between the contractual and expected cash flows from
the individual exposure using the credit adjusted EIR, with
increases and decreases in the measured ECL from the date
of origination or purchase being recognised in the income
statement as a credit impairment charges/reversal.
282
Notes to the financial statementsFor the financial year ended 31 March 2021 continued Note 44
Significant accounting policies continued
(xxii) Impairment continued
Presentation of ECL allowances
The ECL allowances are presented in the Statement of
financial position as follows:
• loan assets, loans to related body corporate entities and
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures measured
at amortised cost – as a deduction to the gross
carrying amount
• loan assets, loans to associates and joint ventures,
and debt financial investments measured FVOCI – as a
reduction in the FVOCI reserve within equity. The carrying
amount of the asset is not adjusted as it is measured at
fair value
• lease receivables, contract receivables and other assets
measured at amortised cost – as a deduction to the gross
carrying amount
• undrawn credit commitments and financial guarantees (not
measured at FVTPL) – as a provision included in other liabilities.
When the Consolidated Entity concludes that there is no
reasonable expectation of recovering cash flows from the
financial asset, and all possible collateral has been realised,
the financial asset is written off, either partially or in full,
against the related provision. Recoveries of loans previously
written off are recorded based on the cash received.
Impairment of interests in associates and
joint ventures
The Consolidated Entity performs an assessment at each
reporting date to determine whether there is any objective
evidence that its interests in associates and joint ventures are
impaired. The main indicators of impairment are significant
changes in the market, economic or legal environment and a
significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost.
In making this judgement, the Consolidated Entity evaluates,
among other factors, the normal volatility in share price and
the period of time for which fair value has been below cost.
If there is an indication that an investment in an associate
or joint venture may be impaired, then the entire carrying
amount of the investment in the associate or joint venture
is tested for impairment by comparing the recoverable
amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and
value-in-use, with its carrying amount.
Impairment losses recognised in the income statement
for investments in associates and joint ventures are
subsequently reversed through the income statement
if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the recoverable amount since the impairment
loss was recognised. The impairment losses (reversal of
impairments) on investments in associates and joint ventures
are recognised in the income statement as part of other
impairment charges/reversal.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Fair value less costs to sell is estimated using market-based
approaches using revenues, earnings and assets under
management and multiples based on companies deemed
comparable as well as other publicly available information
relevant to the business.
Value-in-use is calculated using pre-tax cashflow projections
of operating revenue and expenses. Forecasts are
extrapolated using a growth rate and discounted using a
pre-tax discount rate incorporating market risk determinants,
adjusted for specific risks related to the cash generating
units, if any, and the environment in which it operates.
Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries in the Company’s financial
statements are reviewed annually for indicators of
impairment or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be recoverable. An impairment is recognised in other
impairment charges/reversal, for the amount by which
the investment’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell
and value-in-use. At each reporting date, investments
in subsidiaries that have been impaired are reviewed for
possible reversal of impairment. The amount of any reversal
of impairment recognised must not cause the investment’s
carrying value to exceed its original cost.
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets;
property, plant and equipment and right‑of‑use assets
Intangible assets with indefinite lives (goodwill and certain
intangible assets) are not subject to amortisation but are
tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
For intangible assets that have a finite useful life and property,
plant and equipment and ROU assets, an assessment is made
at each reporting date for indications of impairment.
Impairment losses are recognised in other impairment
charges as part of other operating income and charges for
the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of
the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped
at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable
cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows
from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating
units). Intangible assets (other than goodwill) for which an
impairment loss has been recognised are reviewed for possible
reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. A reversal
is recognised only to the extent that the asset’s carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no
impairment loss had been recognised.
In relation to businesses acquired and held for disposal, the
individual business is treated as a cash generating unit. Assets
associated with strategic business acquisitions are allocated
to each of the operating segments (refer to Note 3 Segment
reporting) and assessed for impairment.

(xxiii) Performance based remuneration
Share‑based payments
The Consolidated Entity operates share-based compensation
plans, which include awards (including those delivered
through the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan
(MEREP)) granted to employees under share acquisition plans.
Information relating to these schemes is set out in Note 32
Employee equity participation.
The Consolidated Entity accounts for its share-based
payments as follows:
Equity settled awards: The awards are measured at their
grant date fair value and based on the number of equity
instruments expected to vest. Expenses are recognised as
part of employment expenses with a corresponding increase
in equity with reference to the vesting period of those
awards. Performance hurdles attached to Performance
Share Units (PSUs) under the MEREP are not taken into
account when determining the fair value of the PSUs at the
grant date. Instead, these vesting conditions are taken into
account by adjusting the number of equity instruments
expected to vest. On vesting, the amount recognised in the
share-based payments reserve is transferred to contributed
equity. For the Company, the accounting is dependent on
whether the Company is compensated for its obligations
under the MEREP award. To the extent that employing
subsidiaries compensate the Company for the MEREP offered
to their employees, a recharge liability due to subsidiaries is
recognised by the Company at grant date representing the
payment received in advance of the award being settled. This
liability reduces over the vesting period with a corresponding
increase in the share-based payments reserve. MEREP
liabilities are recognised and disclosed in Note 30 Related
party information. To the extent that employing subsidiaries
do not compensate the Company for the MEREP offered
to their employees’, the Company reflects the provision of
the equity settled award as a contribution to its subsidiary
and as a result increases its investment in the subsidiary
with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments
reserve. On vesting, amounts recognised in the share-based
payments reserve are transferred to contributed equity.
Cash settled awards: The award liability is measured with
reference to the number of awards and the fair value
of those awards at each reporting date. Expenses are
recognised as part of employment expenses with reference
to the vesting period of those awards. Changes in the value of
the liability are recognised in employment expenses.
(xxiv) Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Consolidated Entity
assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. At
inception, or on reassessment of a contract that contains
a lease component, the Consolidated Entity allocates the
consideration in the contract to each lease component
unless an election is made to account for the lease and non
lease components as a single lease component.
(i) Accounting where the Consolidated Entity is the lessee
The Consolidated Entity leases corporate buildings,
commodity storage facilities, technology and other
equipment for which contracts are typically entered into
for fixed periods of 12 months to 33 years and may include
extension options. Leases are recognised as an ROU asset
(as explained in Note 44(xiv) Property, plant and equipment
and right-of-use assets) and a corresponding liability at the
commencement date, being the date the leased asset is
available for use by the Consolidated Entity.
Lease liability
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value
of the future lease payments at the commencement date,
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease
(or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate). Lease payments are allocated
between principal and interest expense. Interest expense
is, unless capitalised on a qualifying asset which is not
measured at fair value, recognised as part of interest and
similar expense over the lease period on the remaining
lease liability balance for each period. Any variable lease
payments not included in the measurement of the lease
liability are also recognised as net operating lease income in
the period in which the event or condition that triggers those
payments occurs.
Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in
future lease payments arising from a change in lease term, an
assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, an
index or rate, or a change in the estimated amount payable
under a residual value guarantee.
When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding
adjustment is made to the carrying value of the ROU asset,
or, as net operating lease income, where the carrying value of
the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.
Presentation
The Consolidated Entity presents ROU assets in Property,
plant and equipment and right-of-use assets (refer to Note 15)
and lease liabilities in Held for sale and other liabilities (refer
to Note 23) in the Statement of financial position.
Profit share remuneration
(ii) Accounting where the Consolidated Entity is a lessor
The Consolidated Entity recognises a liability and an expense
for profit share remuneration to be paid in cash with
reference to the performance period to which the profit
share relates.
Leases where the lessee has substantially all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets are
classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as
operating leases.

Note 44
Significant accounting policies continued
(xxiv) Leases continued
Finance lease
Where finance leases are granted to third parties, the present
value of the minimum lease payments plus an estimate of
the value of any unguaranteed residual value is recognised as
a receivable and included in loan assets.
The difference between the gross receivable and the present
value of the receivable is unearned interest income. Lease
receipts are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease. Interest income is recognised over the term of the
lease using the EIR method, which reflects a constant rate of
return. Finance lease income is presented within interest and
similar income in the income statement.
Operating lease
Where the Consolidated Entity is the lessor under an
operating lease, the underlying asset is carried at cost and
depreciated over its useful life in accordance with the rates
specified in Note 44(xiv) Property, plant and equipment and
right-of-use assets. Operating lease income is recognised
on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless
another systematic basis is more appropriate. Assets leased
out under operating leases are included in property, plant and
equipment and right of-use assets.
When the Consolidated Entity is an intermediate lessor,
it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub
lease separately. The lease classification of the sublease is
determined with reference to the ROU asset arising from the
head lease.
(xxv) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares and other similar instruments are classified
as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue
of new shares are recorded in equity as a deduction, net of
tax, from the issue proceeds.
(xxvi) Fiduciary assets and client money
The Consolidated Entity engages in trust, fund or other
fiduciary activities as well as certain brokerage and other
trading-related activities that result in the holding or placing
of assets on behalf of third parties. Where such assets are
controlled, and future economic benefits are expected to
be realised by the Consolidated Entity, such assets and the
income thereon are reflected in the Statement of financial
position and income statement respectively. Where this
is not the case, these assets and the income thereon are
excluded from the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements
as they are not the assets of the Consolidated Entity. Fee
income earned by the Consolidated Entity relating to its
responsibilities from fiduciary and brokerage and other
trading-related activities is included as part of fee and
commission income.
(xxvii) Cash and bank balances
Cash and bank balances includes currency on hand, demand
deposits and short-term balances with Central and other
banks including unallocated precious metal balances. These
balances are subsequently measured at amortised cost
except unallocated precious metals which are held at FVTPL.
(xxviii) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash and bank
balances (except unallocated precious metal balances) as
well as certain liquid financial investments and non trading
reverse repurchase agreements that have a contractual
maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition
and which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash,
are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and are
available to meet the Consolidated Entity’s short-term cash
commitments. Cash and cash equivalents exclude margin
money balances, trading assets and certain client-related
balances which are segregated from the Consolidated Entity’s
own funds and are thus restricted from use.
(xxix) Investment property
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost and
subsequently stated at fair value at each reporting date.
Any change in fair value, in addition to any lease income
generated, is recognised in other income as part of other
operating income and charges.
(xxx) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative information has been
re-presented to conform to changes in presentation in the
current year.

• giving a true and fair view of the Company’s and
Consolidated Entity’s financial positions as at 31 March
2021 and of their financial performance for the year
then ended
• complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth).
What we have audited
The Consolidated Entity and Company financial report comprises:
• the Consolidated and Company statements of financial
position as at 31 March 2021

standards are further described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of
our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company and the Consolidated
Entity in accordance with the auditor independence
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the
ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the
Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Our audit approach for the Consolidated Entity
An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance
about whether the financial report is free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud
or error. They are considered material if individually or in
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the
financial report.
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we
performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on
the financial report as a whole, taking into account the
geographic and management structure of the Consolidated
Entity, its accounting processes and controls and the
industry in which it operates.
The Consolidated Entity is structured into four operating
groups and a corporate segment. The Consolidated Entity
has operations in multiple overseas locations, including
sites in Gurugram in India, Jacksonville in the United States
and Manila in the Philippines, which undertake operational
activities that are important to the financial reporting
processes.

Consolidated Entity materiality
For the purpose of our audit we used overall Consolidated
Entity materiality of $182 million, which represents
approximately 5% of the Consolidated Entity’s profit
before tax.
We applied this threshold, together with qualitative
considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the
nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to
evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report
as a whole.
We chose Consolidated Entity profit before tax because, in
our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance
of the Consolidated Entity is most commonly measured.
We utilised a 5% threshold based on our professional
judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly
acceptable thresholds.
287
Independent auditor’s report
To the members of Macquarie Group Limited
Consolidated Entity audit scope
Our audit focused on where the Consolidated Entity
made subjective judgements; for example, significant
accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently
uncertain future events. To conduct this risk assessment,
we considered the inherent risks facing the Consolidated
Entity, including those arising from its respective business
operations, and how the Consolidated Entity manages
these risks. We also considered a number of other factors
including the design and implementation of the Consolidated
Entity’s control environment relevant to the audit, the
appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial report and the
risk of management override of controls.
We aligned our audit to the Consolidated Entity’s structure
by instructing a component audit team for each of the
four operating groups and the corporate segment. These
component audit teams, in consultation with the group
audit team, established an audit strategy tailored for each
operating group and the corporate segment.
Given the extent of the overseas operations of the
Consolidated Entity, the component audit teams instructed a
number of other member firms of the PwC global network to
perform audit procedures ranging from an audit of financial
information to specified procedures. The group audit team
determined the level of supervision and direction it needed
to have over the audit work performed by the component
audit teams, including over the component audit teams’
review and supervision of the overseas audit teams they, in
turn, instructed.
The work performed by the component audit teams and
the overseas audit teams, together with additional audit
procedures performed by the group audit team such as
procedures over the Consolidated Entity’s consolidation
and the financial report disclosures, provided us with the
information we needed for our opinion on the Consolidated
Entity’s financial report as a whole.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the
outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Board Audit
Committee. The key audit matters identified below relate to the audit of the Consolidated Entity, unless otherwise noted.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Provision for expected credit losses on loan assets (Refer to Note 13)
Under the credit impairment model required by AASB 9: Financial
Instruments (AASB 9), losses are recognised on an Expected
Credit Loss (ECL) basis. ECLs are required to incorporate
forward-looking information, reflecting the Consolidated Entity’s
view of potential future economic scenarios.
The global economic outlook remains uncertain, the
impact of COVID 19 has been more pronounced on certain
industries, and the economic recovery from the pandemic
has been markedly different around the world. As a result,
significant judgement was required to be exercised by the
Consolidated Entity in calculating the ECL. Specifically, this
includes judgements around the use of forward-looking
information, including developing macroeconomic scenarios
and their associated weightings and the use of post model
adjustments in the calculation of the ECL. In order to meet
the ECL requirements of AASB 9, the Consolidated Entity
has developed models that involve judgement including
determining assumptions such as defining a significant
increase in credit risk (SICR). The ECL models of the
Consolidated Entity rely on numerous data elements and
certain post model adjustments are applied based on the
Consolidated Entity’s judgement.
Given the extent of judgement involved, we consider this to
be a key audit matter.
Our procedures included assessing the design and testing the
operating effectiveness of certain controls supporting the
Consolidated Entity’s estimate of the ECL including controls
relating to:
• review, challenge and approval of certain forward-looking
macroeconomic assumptions and scenario weightings,
including specifically the consideration of impacts
from COVID-19
• monitoring of the effectiveness of models used to support
ECL estimates, and the validation of new and revised
models implemented
• assessment of the credit quality of counterparties
• accuracy of certain critical data elements used in key ECL
models, and
• review and challenge forums to assess the ECL output and
post model adjustments.
In addition to controls testing, we also performed substantive
procedures including:
• using PwC credit modelling experts to assess the
appropriateness of conclusions reached by the
Consolidated Entity from model monitoring performed on
key models. This included assessing key model components
such as SICR and also involved independent reperformance
of certain tests within the model monitoring performed
• using PwC credit modelling experts to test the
appropriateness of changes to key models
• using PwC credit modelling experts to assess whether the
list of critical data elements identified by the Consolidated
Entity was appropriate for key models
• engaging PwC economics experts to assess and challenge
the appropriateness of macroeconomic scenarios
developed and certain forward-looking economic data
developed by the Consolidated Entity, with a particular
focus on the impacts of COVID-19 in light of certain
available information and consensus views
• assessing the appropriateness of individual credit ratings
used in ECL models to determine whether these have
incorporated the impact of COVID-19 at balance date
• tests of the completeness and accuracy of certain critical
data elements used in key ECL models
• assessing certain post model adjustments identified by
the Consolidated Entity
• considering the impacts on the ECL of events occurring
subsequent to balance date.
For credit impaired loan (stage III) provisions, we examined
a sample of individual loan exposures to consider the
appropriateness of provisions adopted.
We assessed the reasonableness of the Consolidated Entity’s
disclosures in the financial report.

Independent auditor’s report
To the members of Macquarie Group Limited
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment of interests in associates and joint ventures, intangible assets including goodwill, held for sale assets, property, plant
and equipment (PPE) and right‑of‑use assets (Refer to Note 2, Note 14, Note 15 and Note 16)
In accordance with AASB 136: Impairment of Assets (AASB
136), interests in associates and joint ventures, identifiable
intangible assets including goodwill, PPE and right-of-use
assets need to be assessed by the Consolidated Entity
for indicators of impairment at the reporting date. If
indicators of impairment, or reversal of impairment exist, the
recoverable amount for each asset needs to be estimated.
Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment,
goodwill is required to be tested annually for impairment by
comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount.
In accordance with AASB 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale
and Discontinued Operations, held for sale assets need to
be measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell. These assessments involve significant
judgements such as estimating future cash flows and the
rate at which they are discounted and in evaluating fair value
less costs to sell.
Given the extent of judgement involved in light of the
continued impact and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19
pandemic and the financial significance of impairments and
impairment reversals recognised, we considered this to be a
key audit matter.
We evaluated the Consolidated Entity’s valuation
methodologies used to estimate the recoverable amounts
of material interests in associates and joint ventures,
intangible assets including goodwill, held for sale assets, PPE
and right-of-use assets and the process by which they were
developed. For samples selected, our procedures included:
• evaluating the Consolidated Entity’s assessments of
whether there were any indicators of impairment or
whether impairment losses recognised in prior periods
should be reversed
• evaluating the appropriateness of the impairment
assessment methodology and significant assumptions
applied in calculating the recoverable amount
• comparing previous cashflow forecasts to actual results
to assess the ability of the Consolidated Entity to
forecast accurately
• assessing the appropriateness of discount rates used
in valuations
• assessing the competence, capability and objectivity of
the external appraisers, where relevant
• engaging PwC valuation experts where relevant
• applying sensitivity analysis to key assumptions
• assessing certain underlying data used in determining the
carrying value and recoverable amount, and
• testing the mathematical accuracy of the Consolidated
Entity’s discounted cashflow models which were used to
determine the recoverable amount of the asset.
We assessed the reasonableness of the Consolidated Entity’s
disclosures in the financial report.
Valuation of financial assets and liabilities held at fair value with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 financial instruments)
(Refer to Note 38)
The Consolidated Entity exercises judgement in valuing
certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value where there
are significant unobservable inputs for the valuation of these
assets and liabilities. These assets and liabilities are known as
Level 3 financial instruments.
For the Consolidated Entity, these Level 3 financial
instruments predominantly consist of trading assets,
financial investments, loan assets and derivative financial
instruments. Judgement is required in estimating the
fair value of these financial instruments in determining
appropriate models and inputs.
Given the extent of judgement involved in valuing these
Level 3 financial instruments, we considered this to be a key
audit matter.
Our procedures included assessing the design and testing the
operating effectiveness of certain controls relating to Level 3
financial instruments, including controls over:
• approval and validation of the models adopted
• accuracy of inputs to models
• the Consolidated Entity’s process for testing
valuations, and
• governance and review.
For derivative financial instruments and trading assets, we
assessed a sample of valuations by considering the modelling
approaches and inputs, assisted by PwC valuation experts.
We also considered a sample of collateral disputes, gains
and losses on disposals and other events to help assess the
appropriateness of the valuations.
For a sample of financial investments and loan assets, we
assessed the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies
applied, as well as the appropriateness of the inputs used.
For a sample of financial investments we assessed the
sensitivity of the valuations to alternative assumptions where
appropriate.
We assessed the reasonableness of the Consolidated Entity’s
disclosures in the financial report.

Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries 2021 Annual Report
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
IT systems and controls over financial reporting
The Consolidated Entity’s operations and financial reporting
systems are heavily dependent on IT systems, including
automated accounting procedures and IT dependent
manual controls. The Consolidated Entity’s controls over IT
systems include:
• the framework of governance over IT systems
• controls over program development and changes
• controls over access to programs, data and IT
operations, and
• governance over generic and privileged user accounts.
Given the reliance on the IT systems in the financial reporting
process and the impact on relevant controls we seek to
rely on as part of our audit, we considered this to be a key
audit matter.
Our procedures included evaluating the design and testing
the operating effectiveness of certain controls over the
continued integrity of the IT systems that are relevant to
financial reporting.
We also carried out direct tests, on a sample basis, of system
functionality that was key to our audit testing in order to
assess the accuracy of certain system calculations, the
generation of certain reports and the operation of certain
system enforced access controls.
Where we identified design and operating effectiveness
matters relating to IT systems or application controls
relevant to our audit, we performed alternative audit
procedures. We also considered mitigating controls in order
to respond to the impact on our overall audit approach.
Valuation of tax payable relating to tax uncertainties and tax receivable (Refer to Note 11 and Note 23)
The Consolidated Entity is subject to taxation in a number
of jurisdictions. The assessment of the amounts expected
to be paid to and received from tax authorities is considered
initially by the Consolidated Entity at a local level and then
reviewed centrally, with consideration given to particular
tax positions in certain jurisdictions. In some cases, the
treatment of tax positions requires judgement to estimate
the ultimate amounts of tax that will be paid and received.
Given the extent of judgement involved, we consider this to
be a key audit matter.
Our procedures included evaluating the analysis conducted
by the Consolidated Entity which sets out the basis for
judgements made in respect of the ultimate amounts
expected to be paid to and received from tax authorities.
Assisted by PwC tax experts, we read a risk focused selection
of correspondence with tax authorities and external
advice obtained by the Consolidated Entity and used our
understanding of the business to assess and challenge the
completeness and quantum of the provision for tax and tax
receivable. We independently considered the likelihood of
additional tax exposures occurring based on our knowledge
of tax legislation, applicable precedent and industry
developments, noting the level of judgement involved.
We assessed the reasonableness of the Consolidated Entity’s
disclosures in the financial report.

Independent auditor’s report
To the members of Macquarie Group Limited
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue recognition (Refer to Note 2)
In some cases, judgement is required by the Consolidated
Entity in relation to the timing of recognition and
measurement of revenue streams, including non-routine
fee income, revenue from the disposal of assets and
performance fees. Further, the determination of
performance fees recognition involves judgements relating to
the timing and amount of variable consideration to
be recognised.
Given the extent of judgement involved, we considered this
to be a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included evaluating the design and
testing the operating effectiveness of relevant controls
relating to the recognition and measurement of fee income,
revenue from disposal of assets and performance fees.
In assessing the appropriateness of the recognition of
revenue from fee income and performance fees, we
recalculated revenue for a sample of fees based on relevant
information in supporting documents including contracts,
trust constitutions and management agreements.
Specifically for performance fees, we also considered the
nature of the underlying fund assets, the proportion of
assets already realised, the returns on the assets realised to
date and the potential for volatility in the valuation of the
remaining unrealised assets.
We performed testing to confirm the timing of revenue
recognition in respect of certain transactions where sale
agreements were in place at year end but the transaction had
not yet been fully completed to assess the appropriateness
of the recognition of revenue from the disposal of assets.
We assessed the appropriateness of the Consolidated
Entity’s disclosures in the financial report.
Carrying amount of investment in subsidiary (Company Only) (Refer to Note 17)
At year end, the Company considered whether there were
any indicators of impairment or whether impairment losses
recognised in prior periods on an investment in subsidiary
should be reversed.
Given the impairment losses recognised in prior periods on
an investment in subsidiary, an estimate of the investment’s
recoverable amount was calculated by determining the
higher of the value-in-use and fair value less cost of disposal
for the investment.
The Company’s calculation of the recoverable amount of the
subsidiary supported the current carrying value. Given the
quantum of the investment and the judgement involved in
determining the recoverable amount, we considered this to
be a key audit matter.
Our procedures included:
• evaluating the Company’s assessment of whether there
were any indicators of impairment or whether impairment
losses recognised in prior periods should be reversed
• evaluating the appropriateness of the impairment
assessment methodology and significant assumptions
applied in calculating the recoverable amount
• comparing previous cashflow forecasts to actual results to
assess the ability of the Company to forecast accurately
• engaging PwC valuation experts to assist in assessing
the appropriateness of key inputs in determining
the recoverable amount including applicable
valuation multiples
• applying sensitivity analysis to key assumptions
• assessing certain underlying data used in determining the
carrying value and recoverable amount, and
• testing the mathematical accuracy of the Company’s
valuation model which was used to determine the
recoverable amount of the subsidiary.
We assessed the reasonableness of the Company’s
disclosures in the financial report.
292
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the
annual report for the year ended 31 March 2021, but does not
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other
information and accordingly we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the
financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are
responsible for assessing the ability of the Company and
the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or
the Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the
Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis
of the financial report.

the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/
