The money will be invested in the Perennial Global Shares High Alpha Trust — of which head of Perennial International, Clay Carter, said is a tribute to the team’s investment style, approach and performance.

Carter said the fund’s approach enabled them to find great opportunities, such as those in Brazil, Mexico and Korea, often overlooked by traditional global equities investors.
