How do I choose an ESG fund?

We’ve got a few ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) funds to choose from, including Overseas Corporate Bonds ESG: iShares by BlackRock, Global Property Shares ESG: iShares by BlackRock, Royal London Emerging Markets ESG Leaders, Old Mutual MSCI World ESG Index, and eight ETFs.

You can swap our standard global shares fund for Old Mutual by toggling on ‘Global Shares ESG’ when choosing your Starting Option, and you can always customise your allocation later on to increase or decrease your exposure to this fund.

The Royal London Emerging Markets Equity Tilt Fund and our range of ETFs aren’t in our Starting Options, but you can customise your allocations to bring these funds into your portfolio. This can be done when registering, or in-app by going to Settings > Allocations for existing customers.

Please make sure you fully understand how changing the allocation could impact your investment return and risk level before making any changes to these allocations.
