The ANZ Bank has pulled off an amazingly successful share purchase plan raising $2.2 billion from retail investors. 

The retail share placement is the largest in Australian corporate history after a planned raising of $350 million.  Investors in ANZ were allocated their full entitlement at $14.40 per share.  The ANZ share price closed down over 2% today at $15.89 indicating some retail investors were already taking profits.

The share purchase plan takes the ANZ tier one capital to 9.5%, the largest of all the banks.
