Insignia Financial's shares hit a three-year high on Thursday, driven by a revised takeover offer of A$3.07 billion ($1.92 billion) from U.S.-based Bain Capital, matching the bid of rival CC Capital Partners and fuelling a heated bidding war.

Insignia has announced a revised bid from Bain Capital, alongside its quarterly business update which pointed to FUMA growth of 2.2 per cent as at 31 December.

Insignia Financial will open its books to Bain Capital in the hopes of enticing a higher offer from the suitor – and potentially heightening the bidding war with rival CC Capital.
