Fund Facts
Investment Approach
Investors in the Trust are able to access exposures to a range of actively managed income and growth asset classes designed to significantly grow the value of an investment over the medium to long term.
Investment Strategy
The Trust invests in a broad range of investments including Australian and international equities and fixed interest securities, Australian and international listed property securities and cash. Within the Australian equities allocation of the Trust, the management is usually split equally between the growth style and value style of investing.
The growth orientation of this Trust means it has a higher weighting towards traditional growth assets such as shares and property and a lesser weighting towards the lower risk asset classes such as cash and fixed interest.
Perennial's approach to asset allocation focuses on the macro-economic environment and how it will affect asset class returns. Using this background, Perennial actively varies the weighting given to Australian equities, Australian fixed interest and cash. Exposure to other asset classes is maintained at or close to their neutral allocation.
For reasons of investment efficiency, this Trust may gain its exposure to each sector by holding units in other IOOF Group unit trusts.
This Trust is authorised to utilise approved derivative instruments for risk management purposes, subject to the specific restriction that derivative instruments cannot be used to establish asset allocation positions outside the approved ranges.
The Trust does not hedge against foreign exchange movements, however the underlying IOOF Group unit trusts may do so.
The current asset ranges and neutral allocations for the Trust are shown in the following table. The Trust will generally be managed within these ranges and specified percentages. The asset ranges and specified percentages may be revised, without notice to investors, in response to factors affecting the underlying investments such as changes in economic conditions and market movements. Where a material alteration impacts the nature of the Trust, investors will be given prior written notice.
