What the provider says about this fund

The Socially Responsible Balanced Fund is suited to investors who seek a medium level of returns on average over medium term periods (five years plus), allowing for shorter-term ups and downs, whilst excluding investments which do not satisfy certain socially responsible investment criteria. We aim to achieve this by investing in a mix of income and growth assets, and the application of our Responsible Investment Policy.
