About the Fund

Australian Ethical offers investors the opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of interest-bearing investments generating income. The Fund is invested in primarily fixed rate bonds, from issuers such as the Commonwealth and State Governments, banks and other corporate issuers that meet the Australian Ethical Charter.

Our unique investment process

Australian Ethical believes in the transformative power of money to achieve positive social and environmental outcomes. The Australian Ethical Charter, shown on page 4, 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.
