Perpetual Private Managed Accounts

Flexibility, support, and broad expertise tailored for advisers and their clients

At Perpetual Private, many of our advisers use managed accounts to deliver a solution for their clients.

Managed accounts offer the benefits of wide diversification, professional asset management and tax efficiency, and give clients and their advisers clear visibility of what’s happening in portfolios.  At a time when market changes seem to be accelerating, managed accounts also offer responsiveness - the ability to move money quickly and efficiently to reduce risk or capture opportunities.

Perpetual Private’s Managed Accounts service is now available for independent advisers – so those advisers can offer all those benefits to their clients and capture efficiency in their practice.

Our portfolios are transparent and supported by a detailed set of communications and collateral. Advisers should feel confident that they will be able to give their clients the assurance they need on what’s happening in their portfolios.” – Kyle Lidbury, Head of Investment Research, Perpetual Private
