    • o $0.4 billion of net outflows from Australian Equities primarily from the intermediary channel; offset by

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

As previously disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report, effective 1 July 20182 unrealised gains and losses on Perpetual's financial assets designated at Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) will be taken to the income statement. These assets include listed equity securities, unlisted unit trusts and Exact Market Cash structured products. Consequently, as a result of the recent falls in equity markets Perpetual will record an unrealised loss on some of these assets for the half-year ending 31 December 2018.

Interim results for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 will be released on 21 February 2019. Details of the investor briefing will be announced closer to the date.
