- Increased performance fees from MIRA-managed funds and co-investors
- Increased base fees primarily driven by favourable foreign exchange movements and investments made by MIRA-managed funds and mandates.
Partially offset by:
- Higher operating expenses mainly driven by foreign exchange movements and the full period impact of the GLL and ValueInvest business acquisitions completed in the prior corresponding period
- Decreased net operating lease income driven by the disposal of Macquarie AirFinance to a newly-formed joint venture, of which MAM has a 75% interest.

- Growth in BFS deposits, Australian loan portfolio and funds on platform average volumes
- Reduced average headcount mainly due to the realignment of the wealth advice business to focus on the high net worth segment.
Partially offset by:
- Lower wealth management fee income associated with realigning the wealth advice business to focus on the high net worth segment
- Increased costs associated with investment in technology to support business growth and to meet regulatory requirements
- Higher credit provisions in business banking loans and leasing.
- Lower fee and commission income due to lower debt capital markets fee income
- Lower net interest and trading income due to reduced interest income from the debt portfolio
- Higher credit and other impairment charges due to a small number of underperforming investments
- Higher operating expenses reflecting additional headcount and foreign exchange movements.
Partially offset by:
- Higher net income on equity and debt investments due to asset realisations in Europe particularly in the green energy sector.

- Strong results across the commodities platform from increased client hedging activity particularly in Global Oil, North American Gas and Power and EMEA Gas and Power
- Timing of income recognition on storage and transport agreements
- Improved foreign exchange, interest rates and credit results driven by increased client activity across all regions
- Improved equity trading and retail results primarily in Asian markets.
Partially offset by:
- Increased operating expenses driven by expenditure on upgrading technology infrastructure and increased cost of regulatory compliance.
Operating Groups update
In the current period, CAF's businesses were aligned to other Operating Groups, where they have the greatest opportunities in terms of shared clients and complementary offerings:
- CAF Principal Finance joined Macquarie Capital to bring together all principal investing activity and enhance our ability to invest directly and alongside clients and partners
- CAF Transportation Finance joined MAM, reflecting its evolution towards a fiduciary business following the sale of Macquarie AirFinance to a newly-formed joint venture
- CAF Asset Finance moved to CGM, reflecting a longstanding, shared focus on innovative financing solutions for corporates, some of which are already shared clients.
In addition, certain fiduciary businesses, such as the infrastructure debt business (MIDIS), moved from CAF Asset Finance in the Bank Group to MAM in the Non-Bank Group.
During half-year ended 31 March 2019, certain businesses were reorganised between Operating Groups:
- Macquarie's Australian vehicle finance business moved from CAF into BFS
- Macquarie Capital's global real estate business moved into MAM and merged with MIRA Real Estate. Comparatives have been reclassified to reflect this reorganisation between Operating Groups.

The effective tax rate for the half-year ended 30 September 2019 was 20.5%, down from 22.2% in the prior corresponding period and 23.2% in the prior period.

the Consolidated Entity has not restated previously reported financial periods. Refer to Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies in the Financial Report for details regarding the Consolidated Entity's transition to AASB 16.
