The company said it sold its share of the Belgium-based financial market infrastructure company for a total consideration of €455 million.
TCorp is the investment and financial management partner of the New South Wales (NSW) public sector and is considered a top 10 Australian investment manager, with $115 billion in assets under management.
J.P. Morgan and BNP Paribas acted as advisors to LSEG on the transaction.
