Benefits of investing in the Perennial Value Microcap Opportunities Trust

The Trust is an actively managed portfolio of Australian small and microcap listed and unlisted companies that Perennial Value believes have sustainable operations and whose share price offers good value. The significant benefits of investing in the Trust include:

Access to investment opportunities

Investing in the Trust means that your money is pooled with that of other investors. This provides the Trust with the investment buying power not often available to you as an individual investor with smaller amounts to invest. This means you can gain access to investment markets and risk management techniques that would not normally be accessible to individual retail investors.

Professional management

Perennial Value's investment professionals manage the Trust using a disciplined investment approach aimed at delivering returns in excess of the relevant benchmark.

Right to distributions (if any)

Investing in the Trust means you may receive regular income from your investments in the Trust in the form of distributions. However, there may be times when distributions cannot be made, or are lower than expected or are delayed.

About the Trust

The Microcap Opportunities portfolio invests in a range of listed and unlisted companies predominantly comprised of small and microcap stocks which we believe have sustainable operations and whose share prices offer good value.

We aim to invest in companies outside the S&P/ASX Top 100 Index with a market capitalisation of less than $500 million. The cornerstone of this approach is a strong emphasis on company research. The aim is to develop a detailed understanding of each company before committing investors' funds. The portfolio will hold in the range of 30 to 70 stocks. Typically, the portfolio holds, on average, approximately 45 to 60 stocks.

Investment objective

We aim to grow the value of your investment over the long term by investing in a portfolio of Australian microcap companies that are either listed or unlisted companies found outside the S&P/ASX Top 100 Index, and to provide a total return (after fees) that exceeds the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index measured on a rolling three-year basis.
