Crispin Murray: Why bringing together Pendal and Perpetual makes sense
Pendal’s head of equities Crispin Murray explains why he is fully supportive of Perpetual’s acquisition of Pendal

BY NOW you’ll be aware that Pendal has formally joined with Perpetual.
I remain fully supportive of Perpetual’s acquisition of Pendal — completed on January 23, 2023.
It’s the right deal for clients, the business and the team.
It maintains the independence of the Australian equities boutique and strengthens our industry position in the long run — since all senior people of the team are committed to being here for the long term.
The industry is fundamentally changing.
Consolidation is occurring at all levels — super funds, platforms and fund managers. This is an inevitable trend to which we must respond in the most effective way.
When Pendal Group originally floated on the ASX, the goal was to build a diverse multi-boutique business which combined scale for the provision of best services and systems with independence, autonomy and focus for investment teams.
This model has stood the test of time — and has been replicated by others.
It continues to be the right way to run a fund management business.
But we now need greater scale and diversity to build a stronger organisation through which to deliver the best possible services.
This deal enshrines and codifies the independence and autonomy of Pendal’s Australian equities boutique in a way that covers strategy, remuneration, personnel decisions, proxy voting, dealing and service provision.
The Pendal Australian equities team remains unchanged and separately located.
The team is fully supportive of the deal.
We are a separate, independent boutique focused on the job of investing for our clients.
We are protected by strong governance rules and will benefit from being part of a more diverse, larger and stronger group.
Our large and experienced team, our strong performance culture — and a business structure that enables us to focus on investing — provides the critical factors we believe will enable the continuation of the consistent performance we have delivered to our clients for the past 20 years.
