Fund Aims
To generate growth over the long term (5 years or more) by investing in UK equities (company shares) which adhere to the abrdn UK Ethical Equity Investment Approach.
Performance Target: To achieve a return in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index over rolling five year periods (after charges). There is no certainty or promise that the Performance Target will be achieved. Due to the ethical nature of the management process, there are a material number of stocks and sectors in the FTSE All-Share Index that the fund is unable to invest, which means the fund's performance profile may deviate significantly from that of the FTSE All-Share Index.
The FTSE All-Share Index (the "Index") is a representative index of the UK stock market.

Important Information
Source of portfolio data: Broadridge. Source of performance data: FE fundinfo. We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The figures shown are intended only to demonstrate performance history of the fund, after allowing for the impact of ongoing charges, but take no account of product charges. Ongoing charges may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now. Fund performance is based upon the movement of the daily price and is shown as total return in GBP with income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.
