Perpetual has increased the number of options available on its WealthFocus platform to 68.
The company said that it had added seven new investment funds to the WealthFocus menu this week, with the new options including choices across investments, superannuation and pensions.
Perpetual general manager of platforms Gai Ferrington said the announcement was part of an increased emphasis on the platform business as Perpetual sought to offer financial advisers and their clients high quality investment options across the spectrum of asset classes and investment styles.
The new investment funds included on the platform are Australian Unity Mortgage Income, BT Australian Equities, Fidelity Australian Equities, Goldman Sachs JBWere Australian Infrastructure, ING Diversified Fixed Interest, Deutsche Global Equity Thematic and T.Rowe Price International Equities.
