Keybridge deflates Mariner result
Mariner Financial Group has weathered market volatility to produce a $2.2 million profit for the six months to December 31, excluding what it described as the mark-to-market effect of its shareholding in Keybridge Capital Limited.
It said including the unrealised mark-to-market effect of Keybridge Capital Limited, the net loss after tax was $13.9 million.
Keybridge Capital was formerly known as Mariner Bridge Investments and is majority owned by Mariner.
Commenting on the results, Mariner executive chairman Bill Ireland said the company was confident that transactions currently being constructed would generate profit and value added outcomes over the next six months.
Looking over the horizon, the company said its overall corporate objective was to grow assets under management to increase recurring management fees.
It said that amid the current market volatility it would continue to focus on sourcing assets through third-party and joint venture equity.
