Perennial’s elnvest expands its active ETF business in Australia


eInvest, a distributor of active exchange traded funds (ETF) solutions, which was founded by senior Perennial’s executives, has announced an expansion of its distribution model to provide additional solutions to clients in Australia.
The move followed the 2018 launch of its Income Generator Fund (EIGA), the firm said.
“We have the platform to innovate in areas where active management can truly add value and deliver pioneering solutions in response to the changing needs of clients,” eInvest’s managing director, Camilla Love, said.
“The expansion will give investors choice, flexibility and transparency of independent professionally managed strategies that would otherwise be available to institutional investors.”
