ESG (Responsible) Investing

Investors are increasingly demanding that their wealth is invested in a way that provides greater focus on environmental sustainability, positive social impacts and strong governance (ESG), collectively referred to as ESG (responsible) investing.

Centuria Life is excited to give investors the opportunity to participate in ESG investing with the inclusion of two new investment options:

  • Pendal Sustainable Balanced Fund
  • Alphinity Sustainable Shares Fund.

What are the key considerations to ESG Investing?

In order for a fund to be included as an ESG Investment Option, Centuria’s Investment Committee have sought Investment Options that have strong ESG practices contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) who are signatories to the Principles of Responsible Investing (UNPRI).

Integration of two PDS’

Centuria Life Multi-manager Investment Options have now been integrated into one PDS with the LifeGoals externally managed investment options to provide investors with the opportunity to:

  • More simply navigate their way around all Centuria Life investment options
  • Make applications and additional investments across all investment options with a single application form.

The 28 Centuria LifeGoals Investment Options will continue to be offered as externally managed Investment Options and the three Centuria Multi-manager Options will continue to be managed by the Centuria Life Investment Committee.
