New Socially Responsible Fixed Income Investment With AMP Capital Investors
Christian Super is pleased to announce its recent initiative to be a seed investor in an innovative new fund – the Responsible Investment Leaders Diversified Fixed Income Fund which will be managed by AMP Capital Investors.
The RIL Diversified Fixed Income Fund will invest in a range of Australian and international fixed interest securities (both government and credit). More importantly, the new fixed income investment will also have an ESG (environmental, social and governance) filter to ensure that it meets Christian Super’s ethical investment framework.
Traditionally, there have been very few investment products available in the market for investors who want to incorporate ethical and socially responsible considerations into fixed income investments. “We are delighted with the launch of this new fund by AMP Capital Investors. It means we can invest our clients’ superannuation contributions in a fund that not only offers good returns but is also socially responsible,” said Peter Murphy, CEO of Christian Super.
Christian Super was named Sustainable Super Fund of the year in December 2008. Dr Caroline Noller, who presented the award, commented: “Christian Super has embraced the principles of ethical investment more than any other [fund] in Australia.”
