(Bloomberg) -- Bain Capital matched an offer from CC Capital Partners for Insignia Financial Ltd. as the bidding frenzy for the Australian wealth management firm heated up.

Insignia granted Bain access to some private information after the Boston-based firm sweetened its bid to A$4.60 a share, matching an earlier offer from CC Capital, according to a statement Thursday. That values Insignia at about A$3.1 billion ($1.9 billion).
The mooted deal is entering its sixth week since Bain first made a takeover approach and now gives both overseas firms limited access to information on Insignia as the Sydney-listed firm tries to lure even higher bids. The buyout firms are chasing access to Australia’s pensions — one of the world’s fastest growing pools of retirement savings.
“In order to determine if Bain is able to formulate a further improved proposal from that reflected in the Bain second revised indicative proposal, Insignia Financial has offered to provide to Bain a limited period of access to certain non-public information on a non-exclusive basis,” the statement said.
Insignia manages about A$327 billion and its business spans financial advice and wealth management.
