Key Features

About the Fund

The Perpetual SHARE-PLUS Long-Short Fund aims to:

  • provide long-term capital growth and income through investment in quality shares and taking short positions predominantly in selected Australian shares, and

  • outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index (before fees and taxes) over rolling three-year periods.

Investment Approach

Perpetual researches companies of all sizes using consistent share selection criteria. Perpetual’s priority is to select those companies that represent the best investment quality and are appropriately priced. In determining investment quality, investments are carefully selected on the basis of four key investment criteria:

  • conservative debt levels
  • sound management
  • quality business and
  • recurring earnings.

 

In addition, Perpetual aims to take short positions predominantly in Australian shares that it believes will fall in value. The short positions are determined based on each stock’s expected returns and the investment constraints (designed to reduce the risks associated with taking short positions).


The Fund may have up to 20% exposure to investments in international shares where we believe there are opportunities
that may enhance returns.


The Fund may have up to 10% exposure to short positions in international shares. 

Derivatives may be used in managing the Fund.
