growing colonies of what would become Australia, the
Queensland political and business leaders felt that
by the late 1800’s there was a pressing need for the
creation of a Trustee company to serve the people of
Queensland. Such Trustee companies provide a
range of financial management services but
principally they focus on estate planning,
administering deceased estates, managing the
financial affairs of persons unable to look after
their own interests, and administering charitable
trusts and foundations. These intentions took shape as the
Various Acts of Queensland law in the form of The
Queensland Trustees, Limited, Acts of 1888 and 1892
and later amended in 1930, 1932, and 1952.
Subsequently the Trustee Companies Act of 1955 lead
to the later merger of the Queensland body with the
New South Wales and Victorian Trustee Companies to
form Perpetual Trustees Australia Limited in June
1964. In 1964 Perpetual listed its shares
on the Australian Stock Exchange and this continues
today. Since the 1980’s Perpetual has expanded
beyond its traditional trustee business and entered
the growing funds management industry. As stamps have survived with the
QTL precancel into the decimal period it is
therefore suggested that the QTL name was continued
after its 1964 merge. NSW: Perfin section PTCO.a PTCO.b -------------------------------------------------------- Back to QLD 'Other' page Back to States Perfin index Back to Commercial Overprint index © copyright 2011 |
