Wizard and AMS sold for more than $A400 million
The consumer finance arm of General Electric, GE Money, is to pay something over $A400 million ($NZ433.4 million) for Australian Financial Investment Group whose subsidiaries include retailer Wizard Home Loans and wholesale mortgage funder AMS.

The sale price wasn’t officially announced and the actual amount paid will depend on how AFIG performs. AFIG, which has $A18 billion in assets, 230 branches and 80.000 customers, has been on the market for more than a year. It brings GE Money’s Australian and New Zealand assets to about $A38 billion, about $A8 billion of that in New Zealand.
It brings GE to being Australia’s sixth largest home lender behind the four major banks and St George.
The business was previously owned by a consortium including Kerry Packer’s Publishing & Broadcasting (PBL), Deutsche Asset Management and ABN Amro and founder Mark Bouris who is staying on as AFIG’s chairman – GE plans to operate AFIG as a stand-alone business.
The deal delivers PBL, the only listed company in the consortium which paid $A25 million for its stake five years ago, a $A58 million profit.
Bouris founded AFIG in 1996. Broking firm Citigroup Smith Barney estimates AFIG made a $A40million profit in 2003/04.
