What Macquarie does

Australian investment bank and asset manager running infrastructure/real-asset funds, commodities and capital-markets trading, plus a retail bank.

Earns in two ways: steadier fees from managing infrastructure and real-asset funds and from retail banking and leasing, and swingier income from trading in commodities, gas and power, and from advisory and investing. Most of its income comes from outside Australia.

In one line: Australia's Goldman Sachs plus a Blackstone-style infrastructure arm.
