Key Points

  • ASX-listed Pacific Current has bucked an industry trend to report fund growth
  • Regal Partners and GQG are in a potential bidding war for control of the company
  • The board of the owner of boutiques funds is due to update shareholders

Pacific Current Group, the ASX-listed owner of boutique investment managers and the subject of a bidding war, says the fundies it backs have withstood tough fundraising conditions to grow their assets by 9 per cent during the quarter to $204.4 billion.

The group owns minority stakes in 10 fund managers and said that stronger equity markets and private capital raisings meant that funds under management, adjusted for ownership, increased from $US13.4 billion ($20 billion) to $US14.1 billion.
