The Australian Shares Fund invests in Australian companies that meet the Australian Ethical Charter, with an aim to provide investors with long-term growth.
Australian Ethical’s managing director, Phil Vernon, said: “While other fund managers may be investing heavily in industries with an uncertain future, like coal, we’re making positive investments that benefit the planet, people and animals.
“We invest in sectors such as IT, healthcare and renewables.
“This, along with our bias to small cap stocks, means we have a different approach to many mainstream fund managers.”
