Top Performing Ethical Funds of 2018

2018 will probably not be remembered with much fondness in the financial services industry. The Royal Commission exposed the flaws of a financial system that is driven by profit above all else. The outcomes from Commissioner Hayne’s investigations are a clarion call to reinvent financial services. Profit at any cost no longer aligns with community expectations about the role of business in Australian society.

One of the most positive trends in investing at the moment is the demand for ESG, Sustainable or Ethical investments. This type of investing demonstrates a shifting awareness in the marketplace which supports companies that are committed to the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit, rather than profit above all else.

Consequently, we are starting to see more & more businesses reporting on their social and environmental impact in addition to their financial performance. This is also starting to flow into the asset management space as well which will only serve to reduce a company’s exposure to risk in the long run.

Here are 3 key highlights you can find inside the latest report:
