- Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Company Limited (ASX:SOL), trading as Soul Patts, is an Australian investment company that manages a diversified portfolio across listed equities, private equity, credit, emerging companies, property, and strategic holdings. The company invests in uncorrelated listed companies such as TPG Telecom (13% stake) and New Hope Group (39% stake); managed listed equities through large caps portfolios; unlisted and growing companies; credit-related financial instruments; and property development joint ventures, with a long-term, value-oriented approach emphasizing capital growth and consistent dividends since its 1903 ASX listing. Originally founded in 1872 as a pharmacy business in Sydney, where it remains headquartered, Soul Patts has evolved from pharmaceutical retailing and coal mining into a major investment house serving institutional and retail shareholders primarily in Australia. In June 2025, the company announced a transformative $14 billion merger with Brickworks Limited, its long-standing affiliate in which it holds a 43% stake, to create a combined entity retaining the Soul Patts name and ASX:SOL ticker; the deal, endorsed unanimously by both boards and subject to shareholder approval, simplifies a 56-year cross-shareholding, boosts scale by integrating Brickworks' building products operations in Australia and the US alongside its Goodman Group property joint ventures, reduces Brickworks' net debt, and positions existing Soul Patts shareholders with a 72% ownership in the enlarged group. This merger represents Soul Patts' most significant strategic shift in recent years, enhancing diversification and long-term value creation while maintaining its unconstrained mandate across public and private asset classes.
