Benefits of investing in the Perennial Value Australian Shares Trust

The Trust is an actively managed portfolio of Australian listed companies that offer good value that aims to grow the value of your investment over the long term through a combination of capital growth and income. 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.
