Perpetual Limited AGM – 21[st] October 2021
Chairman’s Address
Overview of FY21 performance
In a moment, I will ask our CEO and Managing Director, Rob Adams to deliver his address but before I do that, on behalf of the Board I would like to make some comments on Perpetual’s strategy and performance for FY21.
As set out in our Annual Report, in FY21 we have had a significant uplift in earnings. This uplift was primarily from the acquisitions of Trillium and Barrow Hanley. These acquisitions are transformational for Perpetual and have positioned us well to deliver sustained value to you, our shareholders.
In addition, our results also reflect the successful implementation of Perpetual Private’s adviser growth strategy, which delivered an additional $405 million of net flows in FY21, and, Perpetual Corporate Trust, which continues to perform strongly and delivered another year of impressive growth.
In FY21, underlying profit after tax ( UPAT ) was $124.1 million, up 26% on FY20. Group operating revenue for FY21 increased to $640.6 million, up 31% on FY20. Overall, Perpetual achieved underlying growth of 6% earnings per share ( EPS ) on FY20.
Net profit after tax ( NPAT ) was $74.9 million, down 9% on FY20, reflecting a number of one-off items associated with the acquisition and integration costs of both Trillium and Barrow Hanley. NPAT without these one-off items would have been $107.0 million, up 28% on FY20.
1
This result enabled the Board to declare a final fully franked ordinary dividend of $0.96 per share, up from $0.84 in 1H21, and taking the dividend for the full year to $1.80. The full year dividend represents a 16% increase on the prior year, with a payout ratio of 82% of UPAT.
Through the Barrow Hanley acquisition, as we outlined to shareholders when we announced the acquisition, we remain on track to deliver EPS accretion in excess of 20% within 12 months of the transaction date.
We continue to have a robust balance sheet, a strong brand and a welldiversified business in Australia – all of which are key strengths for Perpetual.
Our balance sheet strength positions us well to take advantage of further organic and inorganic opportunities which add scale and deeper capability. As at the end of FY21, the Group’s gearing ratio was 15.8%.
Delivery of strategic initiatives
To expand on our strategic initiatives, the completion of our acquisition of specialist environmental, social and governance ( ESG ) investment firm Trillium at the end of FY20, established our presence in North America and provided Perpetual with enhanced exposure to the fastgrowing ESG segment.
Shortly after the completion of the Trillium acquisition, we successfully acquired a 75% interest in Dallas-based Barrow Hanley which was completed in November 2020. This brought with it a broad range of global investment capabilities with significant capacity for growth.
To put these into perspective, in FY21, these accounted for 22% of Group operating revenue - noting that we owned Barrow Hanley for only
2
seven months of the financial year.
Strong progress has also been made in the integration of each of these two acquisitions, as well as accelerated progress in building our global distribution capabilities across key regions. Today our operational footprint and distribution reach extends beyond North America into Europe and the UK.
The further broadening of capabilities across our now four divisions – Perpetual Asset Management Australia (PAMA), Perpetual Private (PP), Perpetual Corporate Trust (PCT) and our newly created division, Perpetual Asset Management International (PAMI) - positions the Company well for future growth.
Board and Executive Committee
Through the year, there have been necessary changes in responsibilities within the Executive Committee to align with our expanded footprint, including managing additional risks from geographic and product expansion.
In addition, we also took steps to strengthen our Board. Following an external search, we were delighted to appoint Ms Mona Aboelnaga Kanaan to the Perpetual Board just prior to the year end. Mona is a highly respected Director based in New York, with deep industry
knowledge, and experience in growing asset management businesses globally.
Having Mona on the ground in the US will be important to both the Board and our broader management team.
At Perpetual, we believe that building a gender balanced leadership and workforce delivers better business results.
3
We are a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD’s) 30% Director’s Club. We are committed to building a gender diverse talent pipeline and have set a target to have 40% women in leadership roles by 2024. The appointment of Mona also brings further gender diversity to the Board with the percentage of women now at 38%.
Mona’s appointment will be put forward for election later in this meeting along with Craig Ueland, Ian Hammond and Nancy Fox who are also up for re-election.
Executive Remuneration
For FY21, payments of variable incentives to Executives have increased on FY20. In reaching its decision, the Board has weighed up financial performance, successful implementation of strategy, retention in a more competitive market for talent, as well as shareholder alignment and returns. This increase is in contrast to last year when we reported to you that due to the lower than expected financial performance, only hurdled equity was granted to Executives.
Our approach on executive remuneration is set out fully in the Remuneration Report which we will discuss and vote on later in the meeting.
We are at an important time in the transformation of Perpetual and the Board considers that a fairly rewarded and incentivised senior team focused on execution is key.
Board Remuneration
In our Remuneration Report we have also detailed Board remuneration
4
changes for FY22. No changes had been made since FY16 and these adjustments are market based. We also introduced a differential between resident and non-resident directors to reflect the different markets.
Excluding our new Director, the overall increase in Board remuneration is forecast to be 9.0% in FY22.
Sustainability and our ESG Principles
Your Board and Perpetual as a whole have a long-standing commitment to high standards of corporate governance and sound management of our environmental and social risks and opportunities.
Our approach is built on strong foundations of good corporate governance, prudent risk management and a longstanding commitment to ESG principles. This means delivering service excellence, providing a safe and inclusive workplace, helping to increase investment in communities and reducing our impact on the environment.
Our policies and achievements in these areas are set out in our published Corporate Governance Statement and Sustainability Report.
We also publish our Responsible Investment Policy which sets out the approach of our investments teams in assessing ESG in decision making and ownership practices.
During the past year we have strengthened our approach to Sustainability.
This year, Perpetual published its Modern Slavery Framework which outlines our approach to mitigating human rights abuses and which is now in place. We have recently appointed a Sustainability and Modern
5
Slavery Manager to oversee this framework and are in the process of rolling-out company-wide training.
We recognise climate change as one of the most significant long-term challenges facing the world and we support the aim of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
Climate change presents significant risks to the enduring prosperity of our clients, communities and our business. We are taking action to address climate change by reducing our own environmental impact, investing responsibly for our clients and strengthening our governance and disclosure on climate change.
Perpetual currently discloses its carbon emissions data annually to the Carbon Disclosure Project or CDP. Our most recent CDP climate submission score in 2020 received a score of B-. This is the highest score Perpetual has received since we first started providing a submission in 2010.
Turning to the way we manage money for our clients and ESG.
First, we offer specific ESG focused products that support our clients to contribute to a more sustainable future. This year we have broadened our offering further with the launch of the Multi Asset ESG Real Return Fund which is receiving positive interest from institutional investors.
Shortly following the acquisition of Trillium, we launched two funds in Australia – the Trillium ESG Global Equity Fund and the Trillium Global Sustainable Opportunities Fund. As one of the longest standing impactdriven ESG focused firms, we are pleased to offer clients direct access to Trillium’s capabilities.
6
Outside of Australia this year, we launched a new Trillium ESG Global High Conviction strategy led by a highly regarded investments team based in Edinburgh.
Secondly, all our asset management businesses take an active approach to identifying environmental risks and opportunities through their investment processes. Over the year, PAMA for example, increased focus on assessing climate risk across their portfolios. Overall, PAMA’s Australian equity portfolios have two thirds the exposure to high carbon emissions intensive sectors than the S&P/ASX 300 Index.
Barrow Hanley strengthened its proprietary Composite ESG Scoring which is embedded across every strategy, to cover key environmental and social themes including climate change risk.
In May 2021, Trillium announced they would join the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative, with the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, or sooner. As at 30 June 2021, Trillium’s domestic equity investment strategies were, on average, 62% less carbon intense than their respective benchmarks.
As outlined in our Sustainability Report, in 2021, we commenced a program of work to develop a Sustainability Framework and Strategy for Perpetual and our international brands, which aims to formalise our commitments and to create strong foundations for our future focus.
The development of a Sustainability Strategy will help to drive the decisions we make as we deepen the integration of sustainability-related issues into our business and how we report on our progress.

Concluding remarks
In closing, the Board continues to be proud of the way that all teams at Perpetual have responded and are responding to the ongoing health and safety issues as a result of COVID-19. We thank them for this and also for the support they have provided to clients, communities and to each other throughout this period.
The Board and I would also like to thank CEO, Rob Adams and the entire leadership team who have maintained their disciplined focus through what continues to be a challenging external environment, and delivered strong results for shareholders. Rob has been CEO now for three years and he should be, as the Board is, very proud of what he and his team have achieved in transforming Perpetual and setting it up for future prosperity.
And importantly, on behalf of the Board I would like to thank all our clients and you, our shareholders, for your support.
We remain confident that the strategic initiatives the Company has underway continue to position us well for the future and to deliver sustainable growth and performance.
Thank you and I will now hand over to Rob.

PPT FY21 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
CEO and Managing Director
Mr Rob Adams
Good morning everyone and thank you Chairman. It is a privilege to be addressing you today at our AGM for the 2021 Financial Year.
A High-Quality Financial Services Firm Investing for Growth
As I reflect on the past 12 months, the 2021 Financial Year has been a truly transformational one for Perpetual. Our business today is markedly different, with greater capability, geographic reach, scale and growth potential.
Through our unique combination of businesses and our execution of strategy, we have delivered solid results for the year, with a strong uplift in earnings, driven primarily by continued growth in Perpetual Corporate Trust and Perpetual Private, and of course the positive impact of our acquisitions in the US during the year.
These acquisitions have now transformed Perpetual from a largely Australian-focused asset management business, with A$28 billion in assets under management (AUM), to now managing over A$100 billion in AUM, with a global footprint, a global client base and a strong forwardlooking growth profile – well positioned to take advantage of key global growth trends in ESG and value-investing.
Results Overview
Turning first, to our key results for FY21 - we delivered total revenue of $640.6 million, up 31% on FY20, our Underlying Profit After Tax was $124.1 million, up 26%, and our Net Profit After Tax was $74.9 million,
9
down 9% on the prior year, due to the one-off costs associated with our acquisitions. Our return on equity rose slightly to 15.8%.
This result was driven by; a full 12 months’ contribution from our acquisition of Trillium and seven months contribution from Barrow
Hanley; higher performance fees as a result of our significantly improved relative investment performance; renewed growth in Perpetual Private (PP) and; continued strong performance in Perpetual Corporate Trust (PCT).
Transformation to growth underway
While the financial scorecard is encouraging, I would like to focus on the progress and future intentions of our growth strategy - it is the disciplined execution of our strategy that is delivering positive change and will be a key driver of our results in future years. To me, one of the stand-out features of FY21 for Perpetual was the successful execution of our stated strategy, laying a great platform for the future.
We are transforming our business from being a diversified, yet domestically restrained financial services company, with a reasonably traditional and somewhat limited product suite, servicing primarily Australian clients, to now being a business that has an array of globally relevant investment capabilities, all with substantial capacity for growth.
During the year we made real strides in building our global distribution capability to support and drive future growth. Our operating model has evolved to now support a growing global business across all key
functions, including our governance and risk management frameworks, which are so critical to our future success.
10
Today - through our acquisitions - we now have exposure to all key global markets, with a global presence, diversified by geography, by channel and by asset sector.
Recently we completed two smaller, strategic acquisitions in PP and PCT. In PP the acquisition of Jacaranda Financial Planning has provided us with a high-quality financial planning business with Funds Under Advice of $915 million and a business that will gain real leverage from PP’s existing infrastructure, bringing improved growth opportunities for both firms.
PCT’s recently announced acquisition of Laminar Capital, a fast-growing debt markets and advisory business with a compelling digital capability, now provides us with a unique opportunity to accelerate PCT’s position as a specialist fiduciary and digital solutions provider to the banking and financial services industry.
Into the future, we will continue to lead in key segments in our advice business and we will further extend our corporate trust business through unique digital solutions, with both businesses now even better positioned following these acquisitions.
The focus on ESG has clearly become the dominant global mega trend in financial services and Perpetual is extremely well positioned to benefit from this trend across all of our business. Our strong heritage in ESG and our ESG investment strengths will be a core focus and will drive further growth for Perpetual.
The execution of Perpetual’s transformation to growth is well underway.
Trillium and Barrow Hanley Growth Story
Turning now to Trillium and Barrow Hanley.
11
Our partnership with Trillium presents a perfect synergy with a unique business with a strong heritage and proven investment process – Trillium were underinvested in marketing, distribution and in building a global presence. Perpetual, on the other hand, needed truly world-class investment capabilities and was investing in global distribution.
Today, through the accelerated investment in building out our global distribution team, a contemporary re-branding and by adding new investment capability, Trillium is delivering very strong results and is making a material contribution to Perpetual, delivering record net flows in FY21.
Trillium ended the financial year with AUM of A$7.7 billion, an increase of 37% (A$2.1b), or 50% (US$1.9b) in US dollar terms. It’s been a terrific first year under Perpetual ownership and we are excited about Trillium’s future growth opportunity.
Through our acquisition of Barrow Hanley, we now have a business with a storied brand, built over 40 years of successful value investing, wellknown in the US, and having invested in world-class global investment capabilities, primed for future growth. This highly rated brand was in need of international distribution strength, and a parent with balance sheet strength and a desire to invest in growth.
Since the completion of the acquisition we have appointed Barrow Hanley to manage Perpetual’s Global Equity fund; we have actively marketed their global capabilities to the Australian retail and institutional channels; we have re-pointed their US distribution team to gain leverage from Perpetual’s growing team in the US and; we have worked on new product initiatives together to drive areas of new growth.
12
Since our acquisition, supported by extremely strong relative investment performance, Barrow Hanley flows are performing ahead of our original expectations.
Into the future, we see Trillium and Barrow Hanley evolving into truly global asset management firms, with their core capabilities sold around the world to institutional and intermediary-led clients. I am confident that the future of both Trillium and Barrow Hanley looks extremely bright in partnership with Perpetual.
Building a Sustainable Future
As Tony mentioned earlier, we have made further enhancements to our ESG capabilities and our sustainability as an organisation this year. Perpetual has had an enduring commitment to ESG. We recognise that a sustainable business makes good commercial sense and is in the best interests of all our stakeholders.
Our focus on sustainability across the Group comes through in a myriad of ways, with all parts of Perpetual actively involved in ESG. To call out a few key highlights across Environment, Social and Governance activities this year:
Under the Environment pillar, we have built upon our longstanding ESG product capabilities and launched a number of new products, which not only positions the Company well for future growth in this global mega trend, but also gives our clients greater choice when choosing where and how to invest.
We have strengthened our disclosure on climate and ESG through a number of key initiatives. As Tony mentioned, our most recent submission to the Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) received a score of B-. This is the highest score Perpetual has received since we first
13
started providing submissions in 2010. We have also undertaken a project to improve our environmental and carbon data collection and reporting. This will help us to reinforce our approach to robust data capture, allowing us to report other environmental metrics in the future including waste reduction and recycling programs.
In Perpetual Asset Management Australia, we released our inaugural 2020 ESG Report, which outlines our consolidated actions to address ESG issues from an investment perspective.
Finally, in 2020, Trillium signed up to the Net Zero Asset Managers Alliance.
Under the Social pillar, through our role as one of Australia’s largest managers of philanthropic funds and Native Title trusts, we have played an important role in assisting our clients in the distribution of $103 million of their philanthropic funds to community organisations in FY21 - something we are very proud of particularly in a year when the sector continued to be challenged by COVID-19.
At Perpetual, we are passionate about creating a fulfilling, diverse and inclusive workplace for our people. This means creating a supportive environment that values our employees unique backgrounds and experiences. This year we launched our new diversity and inclusion strategy. This included creating seven employee-led subcommittees of our Diversity Council, which I Chair, to take a lead on ensuring our workplace is fully inclusive for a range of diverse areas. We were also very pleased to have been awarded the WGEA ‘Employer of Choice for Gender Equality’ for the fourth consecutive year. We have a strong belief that diversity leads to better conversations, which in turn leads to better decisions and better outcomes.
14
The periods of lockdown throughout the year have clearly had an impact on people’s mental health and their overall wellbeing. In response to this we have launched a number of initiatives to support our employees’ wellbeing including access to webinars, coaching and support services.
In addition, we have provided a range of additional leave options for employees who need to care for family, and we have provided an extra day of vaccination leave to all our people in Australia and Singapore to support those who need time off to be vaccinated.
Across all our businesses, our employees’ wellbeing and professional growth has never been more important than this year. Building on our established flexible working culture, this year we also committed to a ‘future fit workplace’ strategy to enable our employees to work from where they work best and to achieve a better balance between home and work life.
Turning now to Governance – Perpetual has had a long-standing commitment to good corporate governance practices and we have embedded these practices across all our businesses. We continue to take advantage of opportunities to draw on best practice as it evolves and this year achieved a number of critical milestones.
PCT continued to demonstrate the valuable role of an independent Responsible Entity during the sale this year of VitalHarvest Freehold Trust as it went through a competitive bidding process. The process delivered an increase of over 70% above the pre-offer trading price for the VitalHarvest unit holders.
In our newest division, Perpetual Asset Management International, Trillium received “Best for the World” certification by B Corp for the ninth consecutive year, an outstanding achievement.
15
Finally, and importantly to ensure we remain at the forefront of ESG principles, this year our Board and Management team commenced a program of work to develop Perpetual’s first corporate sustainability strategy which will establish a framework for how Perpetual will in practice continue to help create enduring prosperity for our clients, our people and the communities in which we operate.
Perpetual’s strategy for Sustained Growth and key priorities for FY22
Turning now to our strategy. As we have previously outlined, our strategy seeks to build on the foundations of our core businesses to deliver sustained quality growth over time and focuses on three strategic imperatives - Client First, Future Fit and New Horizons.
We have made strong progress in executing on our strategic imperatives during the year.
Our priority for FY22 is to continue to execute our strategy in order to drive sustained, quality growth. As you can see from this next slide, across our three strategic pillars, this will mean:
- Our Client First approach driving continued positive product and channel development, improving our interaction with our clients and their access to information and, driving service excellence. We will ensure that our focus on ESG across our businesses is wellunderstood and is accessible to clients, both existing and prospective.
− Under our Future Fit pillar, we will continue to invest in our infrastructure and our frameworks that support our growing global business and, we will invest in programs that support and empower our people.
16
- Finally, we will remain focused on New Horizons for Perpetual - taking advantage of the opportunities that the current market environment presents us with, leveraging the key strengths we have across our business. We will accelerate the build-out of our global distribution team and supporting infrastructure across the
US, the UK, Europe and Asia and we will continue to invest in new product and channel development for Trillium and Barrow Hanley, both organically and via bolt-on acquisitions.
Across all divisions of Perpetual, we will continue to have an active pipeline of inorganic opportunities to add further capability and growth potential to the firm.
As a new initiative at this years’ AGM, we thought that it would be useful for you to hear from some of our Group Executives regarding their areas of focus for FY22.
Video: https://youtu.be/gDOeaURRGWA
You can see from the executives managing each of our four businesses that there is positive momentum across all our divisions and a strong focus on executing on a number of exciting initiatives.
I am very much looking forward to sharing more detailed insights of key plans across our business at our upcoming Investor Day, which is now being held as a hybrid event on the 9[th] of December.
Q1 FY22 Update
As I mentioned, we also released our Quarter 1 FY22 business update this morning and I wanted to share with you some of the key points from that update:
Our total AUM rose to A$101 billion, with positive net flows across our combined Australian and international asset management businesses.
17
Our asset management teams had another quarter of strong relative investment performance. This follows the very strong outperformance delivered in FY21, and we were delighted to be awarded “Fund Manager of The Year” by leading research house, Zenith as a result.
PCT had another strong quarter, with funds under administration growing 5%, with solid growth in DMS driven by both the non-bank sector and the banks as they returned to securitisation markets following the closure of the RBA’s Term Funding Facility.
Finally, PP’s Funds Under Advice rose 9% to a record $18.5 billion, driven by the acquisition of Jacaranda and strong positive net flows of $200m over the quarter.
So in summary, the positive momentum we saw towards the end of the 2021 Financial Year across our four businesses has continued, leading to a strong first quarter for FY22.
Summary
Now moving to summarise…
FY21 was an important year for Perpetual. It was a year in which our “best of breed” businesses demonstrated their resilience; it was a year in which we have transformed the growth prospects of the firm, emerging as a global asset manager with substantial capacity for future growth; it was a year in which our ESG heritage was enhanced through
acquisition, organic growth and continued focus on building a
sustainable business; it was a year where the trust that our clients hold in our brand came to the fore.
These facts combine to leave Perpetual in a strong position as we progress through the financial year.
18
Each of our businesses has positive momentum and whilst our operating environment presents constant challenges, we will remain focused on the disciplined execution of our strategy and delivering improved operational leverage.
There is now a renewed sense of optimism and confidence in our ability to deliver strong outcomes for our clients, our people and our shareholders.
Before I hand back to Tony, I would like to thank all of our people across the Perpetual Group who have contributed so much to Perpetual’s transformational year. Our people have been resilient and supportive throughout another year of lockdowns and they have remained fully focused on delivering the best possible results for our clients as well as for our shareholders.
I would also like to thank Tony and the Board for their ongoing support.
Thank you.

PPT 2021 Annual General Meeting People and Remuneration Committee Chairman Nancy Fox
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. As Chairman of the People and Remuneration Committee, it is my pleasure to present to you today our key remuneration outcomes for the 2021 financial year.
As highlighted by Tony and Rob earlier, despite the external environmental challenges during the year, our Group Executives have done an important job in executing the Company’s strategy and gaining the ground lost from the impact of the pandemic.
Performance
FY21 was a critical year for our strategic positioning and growth opportunities. The acquisitions of Barrow Hanley and Trillium were truly, transformational and delivered immediate and ongoing value to shareholders and clients. These significant acquisitions have repositioned Perpetual for future growth and long-term resilience.
In addition to the improved financial performance, Perpetual continues to deliver positive outcomes for clients, as evidenced by substantially improved investment performance and a Group Net Promoter Score (NPS) outcome of +44 – achieving Perpetual’s goal of maintaining an NPS above +40. This was the second consecutive year we achieved this, even during a period when COVID-19 has had an impact on client engagement.
When deciding whether an incentive is awarded for Executives in any given year, your Board, through its People and Remuneration Committee considers a range of factors. As outlined in our 2021 Annual
20
Report, Perpetual uses a balanced scorecard to allow the Company to focus on both short and long-term strategic priorities. To date, this approach has served the Company well and continues to do so.
In FY21, the scorecard was weighted 60% to financial performance measures and 40% to other strategically important measures that the Board considers to be lead indicators of future value creation.
Remuneration Outcomes
The Barrow Hanley acquisition occurred part way through FY21. To recognise the potential impact on remuneration related goals and targets, the Board determined to apply an additional EPS accretion gateway to two-fifths of the UPAT measure under the balanced scorecard, as well as increasing the UPAT target to reflect the anticipated additional profit associated with the acquisition. Importantly, both the gateway and revised UPAT targets were achieved in FY21.
In arriving at the proposed Variable Incentive outcomes for executives in FY21, the Board weighed up four factors - financial performance, successful implementation of strategy, retention in a more competitive market for talent, as well as shareholder alignment and returns.
Perpetual is at an important stage in its transformation and the Board considers that a fairly rewarded and incentivised executive team focused on execution is key. Consequently, the Board has determined to award the CEO a Variable Incentive award of 100% of target, or 57% of his maximum opportunity. Individual outcomes for other Group Executives were awarded between 78% to 112% of target, or 44% to 64% of the maximum.
During FY21, the deferred equity component of the FY18 Variable Incentive awards vested for participating executives. The vested value of
21
the grants were, on average, 30% of the original maximum opportunity available in FY18. The Board believes this outcome provided appropriate alignment of Group Executives’ outcomes with shareholders’ experience. In exercising its discretion, the Board approved this outcome.
COVID-19
The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenging economic and market conditions, whilst also significantly impacting the wider community.
In response to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, Group Executives and Non-executive Directors agreed to voluntary reductions of fixed pay and base Director fees. For the first six months of FY21, the CEO and other Group Executives took fixed pay reductions of 20% and 10%, respectively. For the same period, the Chairman took a 20% reduction in base Director fees, with other Board members taking a 10% reduction.
Increases were made for two Group Executives during the latter half of FY21 in recognition of broader responsibilities with reference to internal relativities and external market benchmarks.
Looking Forward
As we look to FY22, there will be no significant changes to our executive remuneration framework beyond some Group Executives receiving fixed remuneration increases with effect from 1 September 2021. In addition, base Director fees for the Chairman and Non-executive Directors will increase effective 1 July 2021, which will be the first increase since FY16.
22
We will continue to review our performance and reward approach in the coming years to ensure our remuneration framework stays aligned with our strategy. Additionally, we will monitor emerging industry trends and maintain compliance with any upcoming regulatory changes.
The Board is confident that Perpetual’s remuneration framework remains strongly aligned to our strategy, core values and desired culture, and continues to be supported by our robust Risk Management Framework.
We understand the importance of providing clarity and transparency in relation to the remuneration of key management personnel and we continue to be committed to this.
Acknowledgements
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank shareholders and other stakeholders for your valuable feedback and ongoing dialogue on our remuneration approach.
Finally, I too would like to acknowledge and thank the many people across the Company for delivering high quality client outcomes throughout the year and successfully executing a transformational strategy which positions Perpetual well for the future.
Thank you.

Results reflect two completed transformational acquisitions[4] with total AUM growth of 246% YoY to A$98.3b
-
Operating revenue growth of 31% driven by contributions of Trillium (12 months) and Barrow Hanley (7 months), higher performance fees and strong performance in PCT
-
UPAT growth driven by acquisitions and higher performance fees, continued growth in PCT and PP, partially offset by a decline in AUM in PAMA
-
NPAT lower due to the one-off costs associated with the acquisitions
-
Final fully franked ordinary dividend for 2H21 of $0.96 cents per share with payout ratio of 76%. Total FY21 dividend for the year of $1.80
-
Solid ROE growth driven by accretive acquisitions
- Operating revenue is presented net of distributions and expenses of the EMCF structured products. For statutory purposes, revenue, distributions and expenses are adjusted to reflect the gross revenue and expenses of these products 2. Post completion of Barrow Hanley acquisition in November 2020, the definition of UPAT was revised to reflect changes to the Group’s operating cash flows from both existing and future opportunities. Refer to OFR for further details. 3. ROE is calculated using UPAT attributable to equity holders of Perpetual Limited for the period, divided by average equity attributable to equity holders of Perpetual Limited over the period in order to arrive at an annualised ROE. The change on FY20 is shown in basis points 4.Trillium (completion date of 30 June 2020) and Barrow Hanley (completion date of 17 November 2020). Barrow Hanley acquisition was funded through a new debt facility of $195m USD and available cash. Weighted average number of shares for the period on issue of 56,226,656 for FY21 (FY20: 47,797,356 shares)
