(ASX:CGF) has sold its 25 per cent interest in Australian based global fixed income fund manager Kapstream Capital for $45 million.
The investment manager has sold its interest to US-based global investment business Janus Capital Group.

The company will recognise a $40 million pre-tax profit from the sale of the equity interest which will be recognised in the 2016 financial year.
