Companies or issuers that receive a negative overall score fail this exclusionary screen and will not be considered for investment by the fund. A zero or positive score will allow a company or issuer to be considered for investment by the Fund.

Indicative Nav (iNav) Per Unit
# An indicative NAV per Unit (iNAV) for GIVE is published above and updated throughout the ASX Trading Day. The iNAV will be based on the latest mid price of each security, and will take into account proxies (including futures) where a live price is unavailable (for example, if the relevant market is closed). The iNAV reflects the real time movements in stock markets and currencies during the ASX Trading Day and, for securities not trading during the ASX Trading Day, listed proxy instruments selected on the basis of correlations with the underlying investments. The proxies and their correlations with underlying instruments are reviewed regularly and updated as required.
The iNAV represents the best estimate by the Responsible Entity or its appointed agent, IHS Markit of the value per unit in GIVE throughout the trading day. No assurance can be given that the iNAV will be published continuously or that it will be up to date or free from error. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Responsible Entity nor its appointed agent shall be liable to any person who relies on the iNAV.
Frequently Asked Questions
GIVE is a unit class in the Perpetual ESG Australian Share Fund and is quoted and traded on the ASX as an Exchange Traded Managed Fund (ETMF). The Perpetual ESG Australian Share Fund is an actively managed fund, targeting long-term capital growth and income through investment predominately in quality Australian shares of ethical and socially responsible companies.
GIVE will be quoted on the ASX, so investors can buy and sell GIVE on the ASX at the prevailing market price through a stockbroker, share trading account or other securities trading platform, much like the process for buying and selling shares.
Generally, a Holder Identification Number (HIN) will be issued to you which allows you to view your ETMF holdings alongside any other listed investments you have.
An indicative net asset value (iNAV) per unit will be published for GIVE during ASX trading hours. See top of this page. The iNAV reflects the estimated NAV per unit during the ASX trading day. It provides a reference point to assist investors in understanding if they are purchasing or selling units in the ETMF at, or close to the NAV per unit.
The Perpetual ESG Australian Share Fund has two unit classes:
- Unquoted class – investors can apply for units in this class by applying under the Perpetual Investment Funds product disclosure statement and completing the application form or by directing a platform operator to lodge an application. An investor may also redeem by transacting online through myPerpetual or sending us a completed withdrawal form, or directly a platform operator to lodge a withdrawal request.
- Quoted class offered as the Perpetual ESG Australian Share Fund (Managed Fund) ASX:GIVE – investors can buy and sell units in this unit class on the ASX via their stockbroker, share trading account or other securities trading platform.
The same investment objective and investment strategy applies for both unit classes and is managed by Portfolio Manager, Nathan Hughes. Performance and returns of the unit classes may differ due to different tax treatments, fees and costs. For more information, investors can access the Fund Profile for each unit class on the Perpetual website and read the relevant product disclosure statement. The Target Market Determination is also available on the Perpetual website.
ETMFs trade, clear and settle in the same way as ASX-listed shares. Investors do not need to complete an application form or withdrawal form. Perpetual does not require an investor to apply for a minimum number of units or dollar amount in GIVE.
- Do your research
- Read the PDS available here. You should read the PDS before making any decision on how to invest in the ETMF.
- Learn more about GIVE by visiting www.perpetual.com.au/give or contacting us. - Contact or access your ASX stockbroker (full service or online) to place a buy order for the ETMF.

The price at which you buy and sell units in GIVE on the ASX will be the prevailing market price for GIVE at the time of the transaction.
The market price is generally designed to trade in line with net asset value (NAV) or the indicative net asset value (iNAV) of GIVE. We have engaged an independent agent to calculate and disseminate an iNAV per unit for GIVE. The iNAV per unit will be updated for price movements of an ETMF’s investments through live market prices and if applicable, foreign exchange movements. There may be securities held by the Fund that do not have live market prices during the trading day, in which case (for those securities only), the iNAV will generally reflect only what is considered the best estimate of fair value for such securities. The iNAV provides a reference point to assist investors in understanding if they are purchasing or selling units in the ETMF at, or close to the NAV per unit.
The iNAV and NAV per unit of GIVE are published on Perpetual’s website (see top of this page).
A market maker is responsible for providing liquidity in the ETMF so that investors can buy and sell when they choose to do so. Perpetual, in its capacity as responsible entity of the Fund, intends to act as market maker for GIVE. Perpetual has appointed a market making agent to assist with this role. Market maker agents will quote bid and offer prices and volumes on the ASX throughout the trading day. Their role is designed to ensure that the ETMF trades in line with the NAV or iNAV of the ETMF.

Perpetual may donate to charity a portion of the performance fee it earns from GIVE. Information about which charities Perpetual donate to and the details of any donations made will be on our website once available.

For the period 1 April 2023 to 30 September 2023, the criteria for a performance fee to be paid to Perpetual was satisfied. Accordingly, Perpetual determined to donate $3,600 to its Australian charity partner, LifeChanger Foundation, a preventative mental health and wellbeing non-profit that empowers young people to live thriving, resilient lives.
This donation is in addition to Perpetual Group’s 3 year commitment to provide $150,000 annually to LifeChanger to help them provide their critical programs into schools in New South Wales.
