Australian Ethical has upgraded its profit forecast, posting that its underlying profit after tax (UPAT) for the 12 months ending 30 June will be between $6.4 and $6.6 million, representing a mid-point increase of 30 per cent on the 12 months ended 30 June, 2018.
Without the performance fee the range would be between $5.95 and $6.15 million, a midpoint increase over the previous 12 months of 21 per cent, the firm said. This would be at the upper end of the range advised on 17 April.
