Stewardship
Friends Provident launched Stewardship, the UK's first retail ethical fund, back in 1984. 25 years later, Stewardship is now available as a range of funds through our investment and pensions products range.
Stewardship's approach primarily involves screening companies against positive and negative ethical criteria. However, in addition to this, Stewardship has always aimed to influence company behaviour both through dialogue and the sale and purchase of shares.
The other two main issues that dictate where the Stewardship funds can invest are:
- The geographic remit of the fund
- The asset mix of the fund
The geographic remit of the fund directs what regions of the world the funds can invest in - such as UK or International The asset mix of the fund dictates the investment vehicles the fund can use - such as shares selected for their growth potential, shares selected for their income potential, bonds or cash.
Please note that the value of an investment is not guaranteed and can go up and down depending on investment performance. You could get back less than you've paid in.
