Australian Ethical Australian Shares - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to significantly exceed the return of the blended index after taking into account management costs over a 7 year period.
Fund Strategy
The fund seeks to invest in a diversified share portfolio of companies predominately listed on the ASX and selected on the basis of their social, environmental and financial credentials. The fund utilizes an active stock-picking management style with stocks selected for growth rather than income, with a bias towards smaller capitalization stocks listed on the ASX. All stocks are chosen on the basis of relative value where we deem the risks are being adequately priced.
