Easy to manage
Rather than handling all the administration involved in holding many shares, with our ethical managed funds, you can make one transaction into a fund that includes many investments selected by our award-winning investment team.
Australian Ethical has always gone beyond ESG (environmental, social and governance criteria) with its unique combination of ethical screening. Our Ethical Charter has both positive and negative screens, which means we don’t simply avoid companies with a negative impact but we proactively seek our companies that do good.
Companies are selected for the benefits provided by their products and services and for the responsible management of their social and environmental impacts.
