It's impossible to trust a company who can't even get your date of birth correct, due to problems with their online signup process. This may have something to do with their systems 'upgrade' which another reviewer mentions.. :|
I was asked to get certified copies of birth certificate and to "keep checking" my account to see when the update had occurred, and then to again go through the process of rolling over my super.
All this after already arranging the transfer with my payroll team.
I'll try a different ethical fund...they couldn't possibly be worse.

Best Choice

I switched to AE a few years ago and love their service. They recently updated their systems and website making it user friendly and easy to navigate. Cannot recommend them more highly! Fabulous fund with great service!

Very expensive feeds but decided to switch against Super funds investing in tobacco, coal, etc.

published

It's a small effort, but having some say in where my compulsory investment money goes to- I'd rather it in something sustainable for the future.

Still invests in fossil fuels

published

I was a member because I thought they were fossil fuel free. They've now gotten rid of some of their fossil fuel stocks, but this issue is the most important for me. I felt really upset when I found out how much they were investing in coal seam gas when I was a member.

Let the money work ethically

published

As a consumer I have an obligation to not only think about returns, but also what my money is used for while it is on the market. It was a dead simple choice for me to switch to AE.

Left Vicsuper for AE- my best decision!

published

Said it all on my Vicsuper review, please check Lamont's review there. I am a Victorian teacher of 28 years standing
Why more people are not using this company is beyond me. I think Australians are too trusting and lazy and don't get actively involved in their super contribution choices. If you read this and are in Vicsuper, study their investment choices and returns against AE. I reckon you will be shocked.

Ethical choice

published

Choosing ethical investments and 100% renewable power options is easy. I chose Ethical Investments because they have a conscience and so do I.

Ethical and superb

This is a simple decision for your super, and you.
Safe in the knowledge that your fund is making the ethical choice you want

Very happy with the switch to Australian Ethical

published

I made the switch nearly 2 years ago trying to stand by my morals but not really sure what results I would get. My previous superannuation ticked over with little to no change over the years so I was very pleasantly surprised to see my investment with Australian Ethical super make some significant gains. The transition across was as easy as filling out a form and I get regular updates online. A very easy process. Very happy!

Long term strong performance

published

Been with Australian Ethical since the late nineties and going strong. Outperforming other funds I'm in. Recommend very highly to all.

It gives me peace of mind knowing my money is spring ethical projects, without me even needing to do anything about it.

This is one key way to become more sustainable as a species. Otherwise your money is being used by corporations who have no regard for human happiness, sustainability, or survival.

I have super with AE and I'm now considering putting money into one of the AE managed funds. So far I like the approach AE takes. The fees are pretty high though. How can you justify this?

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.
