Investment Approach

Perpetual focuses on selecting listed property related securities that represent the best investment quality and value relative to other property securities in the market. Perpetual will seek to identify property securities that
demonstrate:
- sound management
- recurring earnings and distribution growth
- quality portfolios
- sound capital management.
The fund may invest in listed property trusts and listed real estate management and development companies. The fund invests primarily in Australia but may have up to 20%
exposure to Asian listed property related investments.
Derivatives may be used to:
adjust currency exposure (where appropriate)
hedge selected shares or securities against adverse movements in market prices
gain exposure to relevant indices
gain short-term exposure to the market
build positions in selected companies or issuers of securities as a short-term strategy to be reversed as the physical positions are
built up
create a short exposure to a stock for underlying funds authorised to take net negative positions.
