Banat-Crisana, top SIF in February

SIF Banat-Crisana in February posted the highest profit of all the SIFs that released two-month data. It made 2.2 million RON (0.6 million euro) profit last month due to the transactions whereby it sold its stakes in some small companies in its portfolio. This company is, along SIF Moldova, the only one to have been in the black in February, with the others posting poorer results than in January. SIF Muntenia has yet to reveal its two-month financial data. Of the SIFs to have revealed their financial results, the top profit maker in the first two months of the year is SIF Oltenia, with 44.36 million RON (12.35 million euros), but this profit came in January, when the company sold its Sicomed shares during the tender offer put out by Zentiva. February profit was 0.35 million RON (0.098 million euro) lower than in January. ZF
