The companyâs annuity-style businessesâ (MAM, CAF and BFS) combined December 2018 quarter net profit contribution was slightly up as compared to the previous corresponding period (pcp). However, for the nine months ended December 2018, net profit contribution was down on pcp due to lower performance fees in MAM business and offset by the timing of transactions in CAF Principal Finance.

Moreover, the net profit contribution for the nine months ended December 2018 was also significantly up on pcp. The rise in the net profit contribution was mainly due to higher principal revenue in Macquarie Capital and the strong performance from the commodities platform in CGM.
