Perpetual has recorded the first rise in funds under management (FUM) in more than six months, with a rise from $22.9 billion to $24.4 billion in March this year.

Perpetual FUM was $31.4 billion in August last year. Perpetual Private Wealth recorded a 29 per cent decline in profit last year, while FUM dropped from $8.4 billion to $7.7 billion.
