Good choice for you and the planet

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 out 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.

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.

Easy to diversify

Diversification means ‘not putting all your eggs in one basket’. With a managed fund you can invest across asset classes (eg shares, property), as well as within asset classes (eg purchasing many different companies’ shares).

Easy to get started

You can start your Australian Ethical managed fund investment with as little as $1,000, or $500 with a regular investor plan.
