<p>Pacific Current Group (ASX:PAC) is a multi-boutique asset management firm with funds under management of A$169.3b.

PAC continues to grow and renew the portfolio of boutique managers with internal growth in the group, IPO and sell down and additional investments. Management assert that deal flow has not been affected by the difficult macroeconomic environment and resulting volatile securities markets.
