ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
30 January 2026
Funds under management as at 31 December 2025
Pacific Current Group Limited ( ASX:PAC ), a global multi-boutique asset management firm, is reporting total Funds under Management ( FUM ) managed by boutique asset managers within PAC’s portfolio decreased to A$28.8b from A$29.8b for the quarter ended 31 December 2025.
Aggregate FUM declined by 3.2% in AUD, primarily driven by market revaluations, distributions, and AUD appreciation during the quarter. FUM for the sole AUD-denominated fund manager declined 7.1%, driven primarily by outflows.
Pacific Current Group’s Managing Director, Michael Clarke, noted, “Funds under management remained stable during the quarter, with Astarte and IMC Global contributing to modest net FUM inflows and increases related to market performance. Pennybacker and Victory Park had inflows that were offset with decreases related to market performance. Roc Partners had outflows that were offset to some extent by inflows and increases related to market performance.”
FUM flows and balances as at 30 September 2025 and 31 December 2025, by boutique are shown in the Appendix attached.
Other Considerations
The relationship between the boutiques’ FUM and the economic benefits received by PAC can vary
dramatically based on factors such as:
-
the fees charged by each boutique on the assets it manages, including one-time, up-front fees;
-
the varying size of PAC’s ownership interest in each boutique; and
-
the unique economic terms negotiated between PAC and each boutique including the manner in which PAC expects to realize value from its investment.
Accordingly, PAC cautions against simple extrapolation of PAC’s projected results based on FUM trends.
