Our investment history
Perpetual Guardian has over 135 years of investment management experience. We have seen and traded through two World Wars, several regional conflicts and multiple investment cycles.
There really is very little we have not seen or experienced. It is those very experiences that cascade down into our longstanding approach of disciplined evidence based investing.
Our fiduciary obligations and investment style
Through our administration services, we manage assets of $3.5billion. As part of this, Perpetual Guardian manages approximately $2b of investable assets.
We take our fiduciary responsibilities seriously and focus keenly on them. Because of that, we maintain a cautious approach to investment management, adopting long-term strategies linked to disciplined and evidence-based investment theories. Capital preservation is a key motivator when we consider portfolio construction.
What does this mean for you?
At the heart of it all, we are goal and risk-oriented. We base our outcomes on ‘knowing our client’ and having a deep understanding of investment risk and behaviours.We understand the key market drivers. This means we aim to deliver client centric outcomes using a diversified and disciplined investment approach. Asset allocation, both strategic and tactical, drive our portfolio returns.
Our investment partner
Our governance is important to us, and we take our fiduciary responsibilities seriously. Strong governance is also widely accepted as a significant contributor to better client outcomes, which we agree with and embrace whole-heartedly.
We operate within a strict framework, working with our risk and compliance teams and a dedicated and highly experienced investment committee, made up of board members and senior management.
