Fund Provider Response

Instead of beginning with a list of negative exclusions, the Fund’s selection process starts by identifying companies that are making a positive impact, defined as making a contribution to at least one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The team subjects potential investments to a ‘do no significant harm’ test. At times assessments differ from third-party screens such as that used by Mindful Money. The Harbour Sustainable Impact Fund provides full transparency, describing the impact rationale for each holding, and any controversial holdings, in its annual impact report, found on Harbour Asset Management’s website.

This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios that each fund has filed with the Disclose register to 31st March 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.
