Pengana profits from hedge fund web
Listed investment company Pengana Managers Limited reported its first ever half year performance today with a modest net profit of $54,248 for the second half of 2004.
The listed entity, which launched in June of last year, generated $2.6 million of revenue from investing in Australian unit trusts that serve as feeder funds to Cayman Island domiciled funds the group has controlling stakes in.

The money made by the underlying managers of these offerings collectively will contribute to the profitability of Pengana Managers Trust due to Pengana acquiring controlling stakes in the above managers after January 1, 2005.
