About the fund

The fund aims to provide growth in capital and income over the long-term (defined as five years).

Investment approach

The fund is an actively managed, diversified portfolio of company shares.  The fund invests at least 80% in UK equities, but can invest up to 20% of the fund in the shares of companies not listed in the UK.

Who can invest?

Any church trust with objects connected with the work of the Church of England may normally invest in the fund. This can include parochial church councils, benefices and deaneries, bell ringers and Mothers’ Union. The fund is available to Church of England schools and educational establishments as well as any other Church of England related organisation.

Sustainability approach

We believe that the primary role of sustainable investment is to drive positive change and this is best achieved by pushing companies to do more to address the major challenges facing us today. The fund is managed in line with a faith-consistent  investment policy, developed by the manager, to meet  shareholders’ desire to invest in a way that reflects Christian and Anglican teachings and is grounded in the advice produced by the Church of England’s Ethical Investment Advisory Group (EIAG).

We aim to manage our clients’ investments in a way that aligns with their values and to do this we consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in our listed equity investment process and go beyond the boundaries of traditional investor engagement to drive change. The FCA has introduced sustainable investment labels to help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal. This product does not have a UK sustainable investment label because it does not have a sustainability goal.
