What the provider says about this fund

The Socially Responsible Geared Growth Fund is suited to investors who seek higher returns, including increased potential returns via leverage, on average over extended periods (fifteen years plus), allowing for more significant short to medium term ups and downs, whilst excluding investments which do not satisfy certain socially responsible investment criteria. We aim to achieve this by investing predominantly in growth assets, with little or no allocation to income assets, and the use of leverage to provide increased exposure, and the application of our Responsible Investment Policy.
