Incorrect ‘Portfolio Fundamentals’ Data on Fund Profiles

The 'Portfolio Fundamentals' section of some Fund Profiles previously contained inaccurate figures for:

  • Price to Earnings

  • Price to Book, and

  • Dividend Yield

for the period of May 2018 – June 2019.

The Portfolio Fundamentals are an estimate of forward-looking metrics. These figures are compiled by Perpetual for the purposes of providing additional information to investors to illustrate Perpetual’s quality and value investment process in action.

The figures were incorrect as a result of a data error relating to a corporate action on a single security.  This error has since been corrected.

The corrected information can be found in the flyer.

The ‘Portfolio Fundamentals’ will be found in Fund Profiles in due course.
