The Perpetual Corporation

The Perpetual Corporation by Marc Deschenaux

Imagine a corporation financially but not legally structured as a foundation, raising a large capital, through an Initial Public Offering, without spending any of it.

The corporation invests the money in real estate yielding assets and spends only part of the interest generated as operative budget of the corporation, distribute half of the rest as dividend and keeps the other half as retained earnings, thereby increasing its real estate portfolio of yielding assets.

  2. It would have endless bargaining power within its means.
  3. Thus it would never have to accept a compromised deal.
  4. Its growth on the stock market would be steady.
  5. Nobody would have to worry about the corporate existence.
