Perpetual Reports AUM Growth and Strength in Corporate Trust Amid Market Recovery

Jul 22, 2025

Perpetual Limited (ASX: PPT) reported a 2.5% quarter-on-quarter rise in assets under management (AUM), reaching AU$226.8 billion as of 30 June 2025, driven by strong equity market performance, particularly in global and U.S. strategies. The company’s Corporate Trust business also grew steadily, with funds under administration rising to AU$1.27 trillion, supported by robust non-bank RMBS securitisation. Wealth Management funds under advice (FUA) increased 2% to AU$21.5 billion, benefiting from market tailwinds. Perpetual achieved its targeted AU$30 million in annualised cost savings, reaffirmed FY25 guidance, and is advancing the divestment of its Wealth business. Its asset management subsidiaries—Barrow Hanley, Pendal, and JOHCM—saw mixed flows but benefited overall from improved market sentiment. Currency fluctuations and modest net outflows partially offset gains, but the company remains well-positioned across multiple business lines amid a recovering global investment landscape.
