Perpetual Dynamic Fixed Income Fund

Perpetual Dynamic Fixed Income Fund

An absolute return fund that seeks to provide investors with a regular income and consistent returns.

The Perpetual Dynamic Fixed Income Fund is a diversified portfolio of quality fixed income investments. The Fund is an absolute return fund that seeks to provide investors with a regular income and consistent returns.

The Fund actively invests in fixed and floating rate, credit and government securities. We seek to take advantage of credit and interest rate opportunities and believe that this flexibility can help the Fund achieve stable returns.

The Fund has a strategic interest rate risk (duration) exposure. We seek to make tactical adjustments to duration risk to reflect our interest rate views. We believe that tactical shifts to duration tend to be most effective during periods of extreme market movement.

The Fund is actively managed by an experienced team that has invested together for over a decade, using an investment approach that seeks to identify quality credit investments while actively managing duration.

 

Actively managed credit risk

We actively manage credit risk by picking the most attractive company debt. Our analysis takes into consideration liquidity premium, maturity, ratings and relative valuations.

Investments are focused on opportunities

We focus on using the broadest set of investment opportunities. This means that our asset allocation is always changing, not only to capture the best returns but also to minimise the risk of loss.

Lower volatility

Because the Fund is focused on managing overall volatility, we aim to provide a smooth and consistent sequence of returns for investors. Our approach seeks to lower risk and protect capital.

Wide variety of investment opportunities

The Fund can invest in some harder to access investment opportunities, such as unlisted property, private equity, infrastructure, frontier markets and commodities strategies; as well as traditional assets.

October 28, 2024. We refer to the distributions posted on the Distribution History webpage between 16 August 2024 to 19 September 2024. During this period, the Distribution History for this product incorrectly displayed duplicates of the September 2023 and December 2023 distribution records 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.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any questions, please email us at investments@perpetual.com.au or phone us on 1800 022 033 during business hours (Sydney time).
