What Pinnacle Investment Management does

Multi-affiliate asset manager holding minority/majority stakes in boutique fund managers and providing them distribution and operations.

Takes a share of each affiliate's profit in proportion to its ownership stake; the affiliates earn fees on funds managed plus performance fees when they beat their benchmarks. Pinnacle also earns separate fees for the distribution and back-office services it provides, so earnings depend on how well a few larger boutiques perform.

In one line: Australia's Affiliated Managers Group.
