Perpetual WealthFocus Super Plan

References to the Perpetual WealthFocus Investment Advantage Fund are removed from the PDS as our fund operations are updated.

Effective 18 October 2024 the PDS Features Book is updated to remove references to the Perpetual WealthFocus Investment Funds and Perpetual WealthFocus Investment Advantage Fund. This is to reflect simpler fund operations by the trustee and PIML^. The investment options available to members are not impacted.

In the ‘Important Notes’, paragraph 3 is replaced as follows:

Reference in this PDS to 'PIML' are to Perpetual Investment Management Limited (ABN 18 000 866 535, AFSL 234426) as the responsible entity of the underlying registered managed investment schemes into which some of the investment options may invest.

In the ‘Important Notes’, paragraph 9 is replaced as follows:

This PDS contains all of the information that the Trustee believes is reasonably required for you to make an informed decision about investing in the Super Plan and the various investment options. The investment options generally invest into corresponding underlying managed funds.  These funds are managed investment schemes that are registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

On page 3, the last paragraph is deleted and replaced with:

Perpetual Investment Management Limited is the responsible entity of certain managed investment schemes into which the investment options may invest.

^{^PIML also provides unit registry, investor administration, investment and custodial services to the Fund. These normal operating expenses are paid by the Trustee out of our administration fees.}

The number of securities has been updated from 70 to 140 to 40 to 80 securities. The updated Investment Approach wording can be found in further information.

Updated Investment Approach: The fund primarily invests in listed equity securities. The fund will ideally consist of 40 to 80 securities that Platinum believes to be undervalued by the market. Cash may be held when undervalued securities cannot be found. Platinum may short sell securities that it considers overvalued and may also use derivatives. The fund will typically have 50%
or more net equity exposure. Platinum manages risk associated with currency exposure through the use of hedging devices (eg foreign exchange forwards, swaps, non-deliverable forwards and currency options) and cash foreign exchange trades. 

The changes were effective on 28 March 2024. Refer to the flyer attached for the changes.

The WealthFocus insurance policy has been amended, with effect from 1 July 2019, to include the following changes to its terms and conditions for death, TPD and salary continuance insurance.

Termination of Cover
Insurance cover will cease at the end of the period for which premiums have been paid once a member's account becomes inactive for a continuous period of 16 months, unless a member elects to keep their insurance cover. An account is deemed 'inactive' if it has not received any contribution (including insurance benefit or transfer/rollover from another superannuation fund) for a continuous period of 16 month.

Reinstatement of Cover
If an account is inactive, insurance cover can be reinstated if within 60 days of cover, we receive a validly completed insurance election form from the member  requesting their cover to be reinstated. Cover will be automatically reinstated on the date it ceased and will be treated as if it had never ceased, subject to backdated premiums being paid.

After 60 days of the cover ceasing, a member will need to reapply and be accepted for insurance cover, which will be subject to underwriting.
