Labrador buoyed by increase in profits

Banking entrepreneur Ken Murray's investment vehicle Labrador Coast, formerly Blue Planet Investments, made a pre-tax profit of £243,884 in 2011, up from £154,654 the previous year.

The company made unrealised losses on investments of £871,450, up from £476,963, but cut bank debt from £2.7 million to £2m.

Mr Murray's Malta-based Blue Planet Investment Management still runs the £11.5m Blue Planet International Financials investment trust. The trust is down 11% this year after losing 40% in each of the previous two years. It made a 61% return in 2009.
