Our range of ESG funds
Our ESG investment options are built around funds that support progress in environmental, social or (corporate) governance (ESG) initiatives. They’re one of the ways we give you access to responsible investment opportunities, offering the potential for long-term investment returns by allocating capital across assets that meet strict environmental, social and governance criteria.
Our suite of ESG funds
We offer a range of responsible investment options through our suite of ESG funds, including:
Sustainable Index World Equity Fund
The fund combines the benefits of an environment, social and governance (ESG) investment approach and passive investing all in one fund. This fund, which is managed by aberdeen, is a passive global equity fund, and combines the greater demand for passive investing, with ESG-based exclusions and ESG scores. Passive funds aim to replicate or track the performance of a stock market or bond index.

European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation
In March 2021, the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) came into force. It established a European wide framework to facilitate sustainable investments. Its main goal is to make the sustainability characteristics of funds more comparable and easy to understand for investors. See more on EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
