About the Fund

Australian Ethical believes in the transformative power of money to achieve positive social and environmental outcomes.

The Australian Ethical Charter, shown on page 4 of the product PDS, guides our ethical investment decisions - what we seek to invest in and what we avoid, and also guides our corporate activities beyond our Managed Funds.

However, ethics alone are not enough; investments made by Australian Ethical must also have solid investment prospects. Our team of ethical and investment analysts work together to provide our investors with an ethical portfolio that aims to provide competitive returns over the long term.

About Australian Ethical

Australian Ethical is one of Australia's leading ethical fund managers. By investing responsibly in well-managed ethical companies, we deliver competitive financial performance to our clients and positive change to society and the environment. Since our inception in 1986, our Ethical Charter has guided all investment decisions and underpinned our business practices. Every year 10 per cent of our profits* are distributed to charitable organisations and social impact initiatives through The Australian Ethical Foundation.
