Since 2023 the private-markets funds have been open to third-party investors; the long-term return target is around 7% p.a., while short-term fund returns over the past three years have been markedly higher. » Mais em handelsblatt.com

Other movers: Telix fell after approval of the ITM acquisition, and Resolute Mining dropped sharply after lowering its gold production forecast. » Mais em finanzen.net

Perpetual reports an adjusted after-tax profit of AUD 217m (+6%) for fiscal 2026 and a net profit of AUD 88.9m after a loss in the prior year. Revenue remained stable at AUD 1,374.2m, but profitability improved thanks to cost reductions, stronger cash generation and a simplification program delivering annualized savings of AUD 72.6m. The company intends to sell the asset management unit in the final quarter of 2026 and expects a prepayment of around AUD 500m to pay down debt; at the same time Perpetual plans further investment in ETFs, digital and data services. » Mais em de.investing.com

Perpetual declined an updated buyout approach of A$22.07 per share from Windflower, indirectly controlled by EQT, saying the bid — which included a condition to be withdrawn if made public — does not represent fair value or serve shareholders' interests. The Perpetual board rejected the proposal after advice from financial and legal advisers. Separately, Perpetual agreed in March to sell its wealth management division to Bain Capital for an initial A$500m at completion, with proceeds earmarked to reduce debt and fund growth in asset management and corporate trust. » Mais em finance.yahoo.com
