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.
