Avoid harmful industries
Socially responsible investing typically avoids investing in companies or industries that could have wider negative effects on the environment or society.

Your values
Choosing to invest in a socially responsible investment (SRI) fund means you can invest in companies or industries that better align with your personal values.
Independently Certified
We apply 15 screening filters across our SRI funds. We were the first KiwiSaver scheme provider to offer certified Responsible Investment Association Australasia Socially Responsible Funds.
What are your values?
We restrict investments in companies undertaking certain activities in the following 15* controversial industries. For more details see our Approach to Responsible Investing policy.
Socially Responsible Moderate Fund
Suitable for you if: You’re planning to buy a house or retire in 3 plus years and are comfortable with your balance going slightly up and down from time to time if you get better returns. You want a fund that reflects your personal values.

*Expected returns are calculated based on long-run expectations for investment markets and fund performance, and are not a guarantee of future results. The calculation takes information on how market returns have varied in the past and gives a range of what is assessed to be likely in the future. The ranges of expected returns have been calculated using a statistical tool of 2 ½ standard deviations of return volatility – this means that actual returns are expected to fall outside these ranges 1 year out of every 100. While these ranges may be used as a guide, due to the uncertainty inherent in financial markets they are also not guaranteed.
