BMO Financial Group has agreed to acquire the Australia-based capital markets business of Euroz Hartleys Group, a metals and mining-focused advisory firm. The deal combines BMO's global metals and mining franchise with Euroz Hartleys' Australian equity distribution platform, creating an integrated capability across North America, Europe and Australia. Euroz Hartleys' private wealth business will remain independent and enter a strategic alliance with BMO. Approximately 40 Euroz Hartleys team members are expected to join BMO Capital Markets upon closing, which is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
