You can invest in companies which are actively making a positive contribution to a sustainable future
What is the Ethical Investment Large-Cap Portfolio?
The Large-Cap portfolio is ideal for investors who hold strong ethical values and would like to invest in large Australian listed companies. This fund focuses only the largest and most sustainable and highest rated companies from an environmental, social and governance perspective on the Australian share market.
The Large-Cap portfolio specifically targets investments with positive environmental or social aspects, and excludes investments which damage the environment or cause harm to society. The objective of the Ethical Investment Large-Cap portfolio is to outperform the benchmark of the S&P/ASX 200 over the long term, while providing investors with access to large-cap stocks which meet environmental and socially responsible standards.
A key focus of the portfolio is to find companies which are involved in positive environmental activities or which provide benefits to society, such as healthcare, renewable energy, energy efficiency and technology, food, water, sustainable agriculture, education, community development and social welfare.
