GL Limited is an investment company listed on the

New Zealand
exchanges.

History

Brierley Investments was founded by

New Zealand. It grew to become one of the biggest – and for a time most successful and glamorous – companies in the 1980s. At its peak about 150,000 New Zealanders were Brierley Investments shareholders.[3]

In the 1980s Brierley Investments was a feared

corporate raider[4] in Australia and Britain, but the firm stumbled after the 1987 sharemarket crash, and Brierley was eventually deposed in a boardroom coup. In the 1990s the firm's investments were poor, it mismanaged its foreign-exchange risk, and its balance sheet suffered. In 1999 the firm moved its head office to Singapore and listed on the Singapore Exchange.[5] In July 2002, BI was delisted from the Australian Securities Exchange.[6]

In 2003, Brierley Investments was acquired by the

New Zealand Exchange in June 2014.[8][9][10]
