In May 2026, Jarden Group Limited (JGL) announced a proposed scheme of arrangement with Pacific Equity Partners (PEP and the Proposed Scheme), under which:
- two newly incorporated holding companies, IB HoldCo and JW HoldCo, would respectively acquire 100% of JGL’s investment banking business (Jarden Investments Limited (JIL)) and its wealth and asset management holding company (Jarden Wealth and Asset Management Holdings Limited, which holds JGL’s interest in FirstCape Group Limited (FirstCape));
- both holding companies would be ultimately controlled by PEP Fund VI and existing JGL shareholders, with PEP increasing its holding in FirstCape from 25% to 55% and acquiring a minority shareholding interest in JIL; and
- JGL’s investment banking staff and shareholders would increase their ownership of JIL to 70%.
In July 2026, JGL advised that it was not proceeding with the Proposed Scheme at that time.
