Perpetual SHARE-PLUS Long-Short Fund

Perpetual SHARE-PLUS Long-Short Fund

Offering investors a broader set of investment opportunities.

The Perpetual SHARE-PLUS Long-Short Fund invests in companies we believe will rise in value and takes short positions in companies we believe will fall in value.

The Fund offers investors a broader set of investment opportunities: it can take long (to hold) and short (to sell) positions in companies and may hold up to 35% of the portfolio in cash.

We employ our tried and proven bottom-up stock selection process for both long and short positions. Through fundamental company research, we aim to identify opportunities to buy quality, undervalued companies. On the short side of the portfolio we opportunistically target stocks that we expect will underperform. We rarely short the index, we short companies.

Outstanding track record

The Fund has historically outperformed its benchmark, the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index, over the long term.

More flexibility in implementing ideas

By taking long and short positions the Fund has the flexibility to generate returns from rising and falling share prices.

Rigorous research for stock selection

Perpetual’s bottom-up company research generates the insights that drive our stock selection for both long and short positions. We focus on quality and value to identify companies with the greatest return potential.

Specialist shorting expertise

Perpetual’s equity team has a highly experienced shorting investment capability. This skill and experience has helped the Fund identify shorting opportunities that have added to returns.

October 28, 2024. We refer to the distributions posted on the Distribution History webpage between 14 August 2024 to 19 September 2024. During this period, the Distribution History for this product incorrectly displayed duplicates of the December 2023 distribution record for the 2024 Financial Year, and resulted in an inaccurate subtotal for the 2024 Financial Year. This has been rectified and the correct distribution history has been displayed on our website from 19 September 2024. The Distribution data summary included in this product page was not impacted.

Investment Approach

Perpetual research 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 - 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. The Fund may have up to 10% exposure to short positions in international shares. Derivatives may be used in managing the Fund.

Details & Fees

Investment Objective Aims to provide long-term capital growth and income through investment in quality shares and taking short positions predominantly in selected Australian shares.
