Sustainable Revenue

To give an indication of the impact of some of the listed companies this option invests in, below is the estimated annual revenue earned by those companies that can be attributed to products and services that contribute to sustainable impact solutions.

The impact revenue is calculated per $1M invested in shares and based on shareholdings at 30 June 2022.

These sustainable impact solutions contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN. We use these goals as a blueprint on how to achieve a better and more sustainable future.

This information is of a general nature and is not intended to provide you with financial advice or take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. This 'impact data' is not the only basis upon which you should make an investment decision and this information should not be taken as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a particular financial product.

Although the AE Option(s) shares may represent higher sustainable impact revenue, there are other factors that you should consider such as fees, risk, investment timeframe and objectives. Please note that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Before acting on the information, consider its appropriateness to your circumstances and read the product disclosure statement (PDS) available on our website. You may wish to seek financial advice from an authorised financial adviser before making an investment decision.

This information is only shown for those listed shares this option is invested in where we have the necessary 'sustainable impact revenue data'. We have compared that data against shares in a general share market benchmark which also have relevant 'sustainable impact revenue data' ("Benchmark shares").
