Ethical Funds
| Whether you are a large institution or a small private investor, here at F&C we offer a market leading range of ethical funds for you to choose from. Indeed, we saw the need for an ethical investment product over 20 years ago, when we launched the UK’s first retail ethical fund in 1984. We aim to give clients confidence that our investment decisions deliver excellent performance and reflect their ethical values. We achieve this through 22 years’ experience in managing ethical funds and utilising significant, dedicated expert teams. Our 15-member Governance & Sustainable Investment Team specialises in ethics and our 6 SRI Fund Managers, including our award-winning manager Ted Scott, in delivering performance. In addition, an 8-member independent committee advises F&C on all ethical issues. Our teams produce a number of publications which you can access under ‘Relevant links’ to the right. | |  |
We offer funds based on religious beliefs, sustainable development principles and environmental concerns. We engage with companies and actively vote shareholder resolutions for all ethical funds through F&C’s reo® (responsible engagement overlay) service. We can customise ethical funds for institutional clients on a segregated mandate basis or you may like to invest in one of our established funds.
