| | Telegraph Money Australian bank targets London Stock Exchange |
 | | However, the Macquarie and Computershare proposal would be unlikely to trouble the commission, whose main concerns with the bids from Euronext and Deutsche relate to the their interest in companies that handle the clearing and settlements of share trades after they have been struck. | | | Australian investment bank Macquarie is to launch a takeover approach for the London Stock Exchange in partnership with software firm Computershare within days. | | | Macquarie's private equity funds have been able to bid far more than rivals because Macquarie has been willing to accept a lower rate of return, and it is thought that the bank would use one of its funds as the acquisition vehicle. |

| | The LSE tried unsuccessfully to merge with Deutsche Börse in 2000 amid concern from members of both exchanges about how clearing and settlement of share transactions would work under and how much it would cost. | | | There are fears that if the LSE ends up in foreign hands, the UK's financial services sector could go the way of manufacturing. | | | Shareholders of the company, previously controlled by the brokers who trade on the exchange, now include funds run by Threadneedle Asset Management, Barclays, UBS AG, and Fidelity Investment. |
