- Resulting from the removal of Perpetual Investments EDDY strategy, an increase in allocations to Perpetual Investments Concentrated Equity strategy and increases in allocations to specialist investment managers Cooper Investors, Kaplan Funds Management and Renaissance Asset Management.
The changes to portfolio allocations will result in some differences to specialist investment manager performance fee arrangements.
The specialist investment managers may be entitled to performance fee arrangements that differ, and in some cases may be higher. Any increases to performance fee arrangements will take effect no sooner than 30 days after the date of this update.
The ranges of specialist investment manager performance fees align with those disclosed in the PDS.
The above changes will flow on to any multi sector funds that invest in Australian shares.

Introduction of tobacco securities investment restriction on Australian Shares & International Shares asset classes |
From 31 January 2019, for Australian and international shares asset classes, Perpetual will not permit its specialist investment managers (including itself) to invest in companies that are manufacturers of cigarettes and other tobacco products as defined under Global Industry Classification Standard 302030 as a Tobacco company. For all asset classes other than Australian and international shares, we consider a specialist investment managers’ policies and practices regarding environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and labour standards only to the extent that they may have an effect on the manager’s style and investment performance. We will neither choose nor exclude a specialist investment manager solely on their ESG and labour standards policies/practices (except for managers of Australian and international shares), but such policies/practices will contribute to our overall assessment of the manager’s style and capability. |
