Fund
Objective
The FTSE4Good UK Fund is an open ended investment
company, whose objective is to track the performance
of the FTSE4Good
UK Index.
As well as creating a universe of socially
responsible stocks, the new FTSE4Good Index is the
first to provide a benchmark
for socially responsible investment in the UK and will
generate an important source of income in support
of UNICEF.
The Background
Socially responsible investing has become a key
issue for many investors. We enter the
21st century faced by a number
of huge global challenges. Economic
development, sustainability of natural resources,
protection of the environment
and social justice are just some of the major issues
facing society.
Business is an integral and influential part of
society, and as such has a vital role to play in
shaping the future. Across
the world, forward-looking companies have increasingly
embraced corporate responsibilities striving to
have a positive
impact on social justice and environmental
sustainability. This has also helped them
to manage their
businesses better, capitalise financially on the
growing awareness of social responsibility and
mitigate business
risk.
Socially responsible investment has also become an
important issue for the investment
community. Investors, as consumers,
are worried about the world they live in –
congestion, climate changes, food scares, to name but
a few of
the current issues.
As a result, a growing number of institutions and
individuals want their investments to make a positive
contribution to
the world rather than be linked to the exploitation of
people and the environment.
They
recognise that companies that address these challenges
are likely to be well managed,
reap future rewards and avoid risk, making them a
desirable part of any well managed investment
portfolio.
So,
why invest in FTSE4Good?
