About Perpetual Group

About Perpetual Group

Our purpose is, and has always been, to create enduring prosperity.

Perpetual Group is a diversified financial services company which has been serving Australians since 1886 when it was established as a trustee company by a group of businessmen including Sir Edmund Barton, later to be Australia’s first Prime Minister. That trustee heritage – and the culture it created in 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. As a business, we have always had an unparalleled ability to look through the noise of the external environment to see detail and opportunities that others do not.

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.

The recent acquisition of Pendal Group brings together two of Australia’s most respected active asset management brands to create a global leader in multi-boutique asset management with approximately A$200 billion in assets under management.

At Perpetual, we are, and have always been, committed to acting in the best interests of our clients and the communities we support to ensure a positive impact and help build a sustainable future. We aim to be the most trusted brand in financial services.

Proudly client-centric

We have been earning the trust of our clients for more than 135 years and pride ourselves on our long-standing client relationships – some of which span five generations.

Trust is in our DNA

Trust is an essential part of who we are, the way we work and the future we are helping shape – our enduring reputation is built on it.

Global citizen

We are, and have always been, committed to acting in the best interests of our clients and the communities we support to ensure a positive impact and help build a sustainable future.

Growth and future focused

We are transforming our business, growing our global footprint to bring our expertise, deep market knowledge and an ever-diversifying suite of product solutions to new clients and markets.

In 1885, a committee of business and professional people, including future Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Sir Edmund Barton, gathered in Sydney for the purpose of forming a trustee company.

Our history

Perpetual Trustee Company Limited was formed on 28 September 1886 and since then has been entrusted by generations of Australians to manage, grow and protect their wealth.

In 2013, Perpetual acquired the Trust Company and in 2018 introduced a transformational growth strategy which focused on building exceptional products and services for clients, empowering its people to deliver high performance through improved process and technology and, building new global capabilities both organically and inorganically.

In 2020, Perpetual completed the acquisition of Trillium Asset Management (Trillium) and acquired a 75% interest in Barrow Hanley Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (Barrow Hanley) to create a global multi-boutique asset management capability and commenced the build-out of a world-class global distribution team to support their global growth ambitions.

In 2023, we acquired Pendal Group and its boutique brands, J O Hambro, Regnan and TSW, in one of the most defining moments in our more than 135-year history, creating a global leader in multi-boutique asset management with world-class investment capabilities.

Through wars, recessions and financial crises, we have continually evolved to meet the challenges of constant social, technological and economic change.

Our core values – excellence, integrity and partnership – and financial principles have endured through time and will continue to endure today.

Our global group

Perpetual Limited listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:PPT) in 1964 and is headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales. With a growing global footprint, underpinned by our recent acquisition of Pendal Group and its boutique brands, J O Hambro, Regnan and TSW, combined with our other specialist offshore asset management boutiques such as Trillium and Barrow Hanley, our operations span Australia, Asia, Europe, the United Kingdom and United States.

Our specialist businesses

Across Perpetual Group’s three specialist businesses - Asset Management, Wealth Management and Corporate Trust - we aim to protect and grow our clients' wealth, knowing that by doing so we can make a difference in their lives. Our clients include Australian and international institutions, not-for-profit organisations, small businesses, financial advisers, individuals and families.

People working in contemporary office
