Brierley Investments Limited (BIL) was established by New Zealand investment veteran Sir Ron Brierley in 1961 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://shares.intelligentinvestor.com.au/company/Brierley-Investments-Limited-BRY-249206/ )〕 and in 1985 listed on stock exchanges in Australia, England, and New Zealand (ASX, LSE, NZSX) and 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 Kiwis were shareholders. In the 1980s BIL was a feared corporate raider in Australia and Britain, but the firm stumbled after the 1987 sharemarket crash, and Sir Ron 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 1998–99 the firm moved its head office to Singapore and listed on the SGX. In June 2000, BIL's listed investments had a total market value of US$1.01858 billion, including 46% of Thistle Hotels plc; 30% of Air New Zealand; and 29% of James Hardie Industries. 〔 On 1 November 2007, the registered name BIL International Ltd changed to GuocoLeisure Ltd, and the issuer code changed from BRY to GLL. In 2013, due to a low volume of trading, GLL's board resolved to delist from the NZX, and dissolve the company. : The last day of trading of the shares on the NZX was June 24, 2014. 〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brierley Investments」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
