Perpetual Diversified Income Fund - Class A
Designed for investors seeking predictable outcomes - including above cash rate returns, consistent income and capital stability (For Wholesale Investors Only).
The Perpetual Diversified Income Fund is an active, diversified portfolio of high quality, floating rate debt investments. The Fund is designed for investors seeking predictable outcomes - including above cash rate returns, consistent income and capital stability.
When investing in debt, avoiding loss or default is critical. Perpetual aims to invest in stable, income generating assets that have a low likelihood of default.
Perpetual's analysts screen out risks by applying quality filters to companies and selecting those with strong management, stable balance sheets, predictable earnings, industry leadership and low susceptibility to regulatory or event risk.
Delivered by a team of trusted experts - the true pioneers of Australian credit - Perpetual's Diversified Income Fund is always actively hunting for new opportunities to generate consistent income, but never losing focus on our central goals to protect investors capital.
The Fund aims to provide regular income and consistent returns above the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index (before fees and taxes) over rolling three-year periods by investing in a diverse range of income generating assets.
The Fund's approach to delivering returns and managing risk is through an active and risk aware investment process which invests in a diversified core portfolio of liquid investment grade securities.
Perpetual believes these assets provide investors with protection in times of market stress. When the environment is supportive Perpetual seeks to enhance returns by taking more risk whether that be in maturity, credit rating, subordination or gearing.
The Fund can also invest in alternative income generating securities such as mortgages, infrastructure debt and private debt. This approach to portfolio construction is Perpetual's preferred method to deliver investors the highest possible risk adjusted returns.
Derivatives may be used in managing the Fund.
| Assets | Range % |
| Cash and investment grade securities | 75 - 100% |
