We hope that helps get you started.

Hi Jimbobaloobop,
It's always nice to hear that one of our Super members is considering one of our Managed Funds as well! We're glad you like our ethical approach to investing - and you would already be aware of our competitive performance returns.
Fees are about many things, including the level of engagement of the fund managers, and a matter of scale. Australian Ethical has a particularly high level of engagement, because of both our ethical screening, and our active investment style. Despite this, since 2013 we’ve more than halved our fees. It’s just one of the ways that as we grow, we’re making sure to share the benefits with our investors. You might also be interested to know that we are one of the best valued ethical investment funds in Australia when you take into account what our product offers. You may also find that other ‘ethical funds’ may not offer a comprehensive ethical screening process, for example only screening certain negative industries, or best of industry.
You may be interested in some of our wholesale funds, which offer the funds at a substantially reduced fee. You can find more information on our wholesale funds here: https://www.australianethical.com.au/managed-funds/fees/.
You can find more on the performance of our managed funds here: https://www.australianethical.com.au/managed-funds/performance-and-returns/
If you want to discuss our investment options, don't hesitate to call us on 1800 021 227.

Hi there,
Sorry it's taken us so long to respond - we didn't get a notification about this question but here's the answer!

For our default coverage for disability & total disability cover no medical examinations are required. For additional cover or a fixed amount etc, there is an application process by which you'll need to answer medical questions. Sometimes blood tests or medical results/scans are required after completing the medical questions.

Hi Kate,
All our investments and business activities are guided by our Ethical Charter (www.australianethical.com.au/australian-ethical-charter) which requires us to take into account the interests of people, non-human animals, and the environment. By using the Charter we have a full list of the companies we invest in always on our website (https://www.australianethical.com.au/companies-we-invest-in/). By investing in these companies, we've seen strong performance over the past 30 years. Full performance figures are listed on our website! https://www.australianethical.com.au/managed-funds/

Best,
Grace, Australian Ethical
