two decades of growth
Been with Aust. Ethical for nearly 25 years, both as a unit trust holder and with super. It's a much lower risk than mucking about half-arsed in the market as a dweeb, and so moving my super over a decade ago was a no brainer. Better rate of return, (forget about do more better things ethical? is that like meth?... hehehehehe)(hipsters go home).

More than 20 years with them and glad I made the choice
I moved my super to Australian Ethical more than 20 years ago. The most important thing to me was knowing where my money was invested and that it wasn't supporting industries that are harming our planet. On top of this I have always found them to be great communicators and very transparent. My funds even weathered the GFC fairly well and bounced back quicker than I expected. Thanks!

I am happy with Australian Ethical
I am a happy customer since a few years ago. I really like that I can choose to invest in small Australian businesses and that I know it'll have a positive impact on the future of Australia and my children.
The only complaint I have is that you can't get any information on how the different investment options are performing or much they have increased per month other than the money you have paid in or your employer have paid. I get really frustrated with not being able to compare my choices for investments that I have made with the other inve...Read more

Ethical business behaviour is very important to me
I have had Ethical Super for a good amount of years and it grows well every year. Unlike another which managed to reduce my super to nothing when i had to stop work. It s agreat company and everyone is really helpful and knowledgable. I will be investing in Managed Funds this year too - because I feel so confident in theri strategies.

Love aus ethical.
Really love saving the planet and getting a good return at the same time, particularly as shifting capital away from unethical corporate behaviour is the best way to change that behavior.

Makes sense
It makes sense to invest in the future you want. Coal mining is not in it. Ethical super is great, easy and friendly to deal with.

Feeling secure
I'm glad to have my money invested in forward thinking industries. It feels more secure than tying it to the sinking ship of fossil fuels. Australian ethical made it easy to switch funds and are very transparent and informative.

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.

At Australian Ethical, it is important that we provide our members with the latest return figures for each investment option. This is because we’re proud of our results which show how paying attention to social and environmental sustainability can also help deliver excellent financial returns. For example, Our default Balanced (accumulation) investment option returned 10.1% - which outperformed the median default investment option of 8.8% for the one year period to 30 June 2015. More on our returns after fees for each investment option can be found here https://www.australianethical.com.au/super/performance-and-returns/. You will also find up-to-date performance figures in our Monthly and Quarterly Fund Reports available here (our Superfund investment options invest directly into our Managed Funds) https://www.australianethical.com.au/managed-funds/monthly-and-quarterly-trust-reports/. Also in the most recent November 2015 report from external ratings agency SuperRatings, our superannuation performance achieved a number of highlights: - Growth option ranked 1st in the SR50 Growth (77-90) Index over the quarter. - International Shares ranked 1st in the SR50 International Shares Index over the quarter and 3rd over the month. - MySuper Balanced (accumulation) ranked 1st over 1 month, 1st over the quarter, 2nd over FYTD, and 3rd over 1 year in the SR50 MySuper Index. - Advocacy ranked 1st over 1 month and the quarter in the High Growth category. - Smaller Companies ranked 1st over ALL time periods (the month, quarter, FYTD, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years) in the Australian Shares category.
