Key Points

  • WAM says profits from Nick Bolton’s Magellan options trade are not accounted for
  • Keybridge is Bolton controlled but Geoff Wilson’s WAM is its largest shareholder
  • The pair has been feuding since 2016 

Fund manager Geoff Wilson’s Wilson Asset Management has written to activist investor Nick Bolton demanding more information about the allocation of $17.8 million of proceeds from its successful Magellan options trade.

Lawyers acting for Mr Wilson’s WAM Active say $5.6 million of profits “are unaccounted for” following an update last month from the Bolton-controlled Keybridge Capital.
