Local mates find Europe unfriendly - by Rod Myer

BABCOCK & Brown and GPT have suffered rejection at the hands of European investors and been forced to abandon a €400 million ($A689.6 million) equity raising on the Euronext stock exchange in Amsterdam.

Now the two are looking at a range of options including syndication, the launch of an unlisted fund and the formation of a more acceptable public fund using recent changes to tax law.
