Part of situation: Phil King retirement from Regal Partners (2 clusters)

Phil King to retire from Regal, leaving $21 billion fund manager

Phil King Regal active fund management Australian stock market Commonwealth Bank

Phil King, the founder of the investment firm Regal, has announced his intention to retire from money management in June next year. Over the past 20 years, King has grown Regal to manage more than $21 billion in funds.

King has been a significant figure in the Australian financial markets, playing a key role in block trades, capital raisings, and floats. His departure is being viewed by some as the end of an era for active fund management in the region.

King remains committed to his recent investment positions, specifically a bet that shares in Commonwealth Bank would decline. He attributed the high valuation of the bank to massive inflows from passive funds and the Australian tax system, which he noted discourages selling due to capital gains tax implications.
