The Perpetual Balanced Growth  Fund is designed to be a core strategy for investors seeking an actively managed approach to all key asset classes in a portfolio.

 

The Fund typically has significant exposure to growth-seeking assets (such as Australian and international shares) and a lower allocation to income securities, albeit these are managed dynamically. 

 

It is designed primarily for investors seeking higher returns with a longer time frame than more conservatively managed portfolios.

 

The Fund aims to:

  • provide long-term capital growth and income through investment in a diversified portfolio with an emphasis on Australian and international share investments.
  • outperform the All Groups CPI + 5.0% pa (before fees and taxes) over at least five-year periods.
  • outperform a composite benchmark (before fees and taxes) reflecting its allocation to the various asset types over rolling three-year periods.

The Fund invests in a diverse mix of growth, defensive and other assets, with a focus on Australian and international shares.
 
Tactical asset allocation strategies may be applied, which involves the Fund adjusting its exposure to asset classes on a regular basis within the investment guidelines.
 
Currency is managed at the Fund level, taking into account currency exposure arising from underlying investments. Currency management is used to either hedge currency for an existing position or create exposure to a foreign currency.
 
Exposure to foreign currency will be limited to 50% of the gross asset value of the Fund.
 
Derivatives and exchange-traded funds may be used in managing each asset class.

That trustee heritage – and the culture it created around putting clients first – is what makes Perpetual unique.

 

Over more than 135 years we have supported clients and communities through periods of great change and volatility, continuing to evolve to provide products and services to meet the changing needs of our clients – some of which span five generations.

 

Today, we are an ASX-listed company (ASX:PPT) headquartered in Sydney, Australia, providing asset management, private wealth and trustee services to local and international clients. Our operations span Australia, Asia, Europe, United Kingdom and the United States.
