COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund

Please note, from 20 November 2023 the prices shown are daily. 
Capital at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested and may lose money.

The fund aims to provide a total return (growth in capital and income) over the long term (defined as five years) of UK CPI + 5% per annum, before costs and charges.

The fund has a wide range of ethical restrictions and is advised by an ethical advisory committee that identifies potential areas of policy development and refinement of the fund’s client-driven ethical investment policy.

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.

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.
