Perpetual Diversified Income Active ETF (ASX:DIFF)

Perpetual Diversified Income Active ETF (ASX:DIFF)

Perpetual Diversified Income Active ETF (ASX: DIFF) invests in a diversified core portfolio of liquid, investment-grade credit securities, actively managed by Perpetual

It’s designed for investors seeking predictable outcomes including above-cash-rate returns, consistent income and capital preservation

Why Credit?

Credit assets such as corporate bonds or private credit typically offer higher yields than other fixed-income assets such as cash and government bonds because they carry more risk.

In general, fixed income offers defensive, lower-risk properties than equities and can help investors generate income, diversify portfolios, preserve capital and hedge against economic conditions.

Why Now?

Fixed-income investors are facing lower returns due to falling interest rates and inflation and are looking for additional sources of income.

Elevated equity valuations, uncertain growth outlooks and rising volatility reflecting geopolitical uncertainty all contribute to a challenging risk outlook for equities. 

Credit can offer an attractive alternative when the future is uncertain and can provide attractive risk-adjusted returns in a volatile, low-rate environment.
