Considering entire continent just got out of a huge war (it's called 3rd Arclent War for a reason), it's only to be expected that profits from investments are giving lower profits. But since most of the investments are not "one off", they will keep giving profits in the future and with stability comming to Arclent those profits will most likely go up.

As for Mercenary flotila operating at a loss... well, they are a mixture between suplier/trader and mercenary unit so with them being focused entirely on war and not trade (or plunder... didn't he mention they also involve in some light piracy), having an "upkeep cost" is somewhat expected. As with other investments, relative peace and stability in Arclent should increase their profits and it's possible they'll also add some bonus to our army once we start dealing with other IK's since we'll need them to transfer our army...
