Australian Ethical is Australia's largest and original 100% ethical investment manager based in Sydney.

Australian Ethical has $6.18 billion in funds under management and over 80,000 clients (managed fund investors and funded superannuation members) as of 30 September 2022.[3] The company's Australian Shares Fund has outperformed the benchmark in the long term.[4] Australian Ethical is one of the fastest growing super funds in the country by number of members.[5]

The company was a founding B Corp in Australia, and the first publicly listed company in Australia to achieve B Corp status.[6][7] It was awarded the B Corp "Best for the World" ranking it in the top 10% of B Corps globally in various categories in the years 2015 through 2019 and 2021.[8]

Australian Ethical Charter

The company works off the framework provided by the Australian Ethical Charter, a list of 23 principles that have been part of the company constitution since 1986.[9] The Charter is used to make decisions about the companies Australian Ethical will and won't invest in.

Products & services

The company offers a number of superannuation, managed fund and ETF products.

Community giving

Australian Ethical distributes up to 10% of its annual profits (after tax and before bonuses) to charitable organisations and social impact initiatives through the Australian Ethical Foundation.[10]

To date, the Australian Ethical Foundation has granted over $6 million through community and strategic grants. In FY21 the company donated $1.8 million through the foundation.[11] The Community Grants selection process uses community voting to help decide the projects that are most important to the Australian community by engaging shareholders, members, staff and the public to have their say.[12]

Ethical investing

Australian Ethical screens potential investments for adherence to the Australian Ethical Charter.[13]
