Mercer Ethical Leaders Balanced Fund
The fund is a diversified portfolio with a slightly higher allocation to a mix of growth assets (e.G., shares and listed property) relative to a mix of income assets (e.G., cash and fixed income). The fund takes a sustainable investment approach and is managed to specific ‘sustainable investment’ criteria which prohibit investments in certain companies or activities, and encourage investment in companies with strong environmental, social and governance characteristics. This fund has additional exclusions applied as described in our Sustainable Investment Policy and has been certified by the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA).
The fund aims to provide capital growth over the longer-term with moderate levels of volatility and to outperform, over the medium term, the weighted average return of the market indices used to measure performance of the underlying funds/assets in which the fund invests.
