AE Investor
Where a company has multiple ethical concerns, the total concerns percentage counts this investment once.
The average total concerns of all funds of the same risk profile is weighted by the funds' investment values.
The average total concerns of all managed growth funds is 5.45%.
As part of EcoLab’s Global Animal Welfare Policy, they are committed to animal testing alternatives. EcoLab has devised methods to refine, reduce, and ultimately replace animal testing in the future. Animal testing is only required by law or regulatory agencies if the science for nonanimal testing doesn’t exist, or if nonanimal testing has yet to be approved. When hazards cannot be identified using nonanimal testing, animal testing must be pre-approved by the internal Ecolab Animal Welfare Board if not already required by law or regulatory agencies. EcoLab’s mission is to create safer, healthier, and cleaner environments.
The objective of AE Investor is to invest in listed equities with the purpose of achieving long term capital appreciation. This fund may be suitable for those investors wanting an ethical investment option, including those who must invest in accordance with Shari’ah law compliance.

How the money in this fund is invested by asset type.
This information has been sourced from the quarterly data that each fund has filed with Disclose register to 31st Dec. 2024.
This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios
that each
fund has
filed with the Disclose register to 30th Sept. 2024 and Mindful Money
analysis of funds within those portfolios. The list of companies of concern has
been drawn from ratings agencies and public sources, including the Norwegian
Sovereign Fund, NZ Super Fund, Sustainalytics and research organisations.
Please note that companies may breach more than one of these areas of
concern.
The listing of companies of concern is based on definitions used in Mindful Money's
methodology. These definitions may
be different from the exclusions policy and definitions applied by the fund provider.
Mindful Money uses the term Mindful Funds as our standard
for ethical investment and responsible investment. This does not imply that
other funds are unethical or that the fund providers that do not meet these
standards are unethical providers.
