The Fund invests across a range of geographies, sectors, strategies, and sources of returns that can be difficult for investors to access directly.
As it is focused on reducing uncertain investment outcomes, the fund can suit those seeking a smoother, more regular profile of returns, providing protection against inflation and volatility without having to sacrifice growth.
The Fund targets a pre-tax return of 5% per annum above inflation (before fees and taxes) over rolling five-year periods while minimising downside risk.
With a greater diversity of investment opportunities, the Fund is designed for investors with a little or a lot to invest.
The Fund targets a pre-tax return of 5% per annum above inflation (before fees and taxes) over rolling five-year periods while minimising downside risk.
This version of the Perpetual Diversified Real Return Fund has a performance fee.
The Fund will invest in a diversified range of asset classes. The combination of assets held by the Fund at any time are those which we believe provide the greatest probability of achieving the target return over rolling five-year periods.
Perpetual may adjust the Fund's asset allocation to respond to changing market conditions and/or to take advantage of new opportunities.
In managing the Fund to meet its investment objective, the Fund may implement a considerable amount of its exposures via derivatives and may include alternative and private market assets.
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. Net foreign currency exposure will be limited to 50% of the gross asset value of the Fund.
Investment in illiquid assets^ will be limited to 18% of the net asset value of the Fund.
^Illiquid assets are defined as assets that have no readily available secondary market and are not marketable securities. Units in unlisted funds are considered illiquid where underlying assets meet that definition.
