Fund Aims

Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the Royal London Sustainable Leaders Trust - the underlying fund.

Underlying Fund Objective: The trust aims to achieve capital growth over the medium term, which should be considered as a period of 3-5 years, by investing predominantly in a diverse portfolio of shares across any economic sector where at least 80% of the assets will be invested in UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange that are deemed to make a positive contribution to society. The Scheme's performance target is to outperform the FTSE All-Share Index (the "Index") over a rolling 5-year period. The scheme is actively managed meaning that the fund manager will use their investment expertise to select investments that will adhere to the manager's ethical and sustainable investment policy.

Important Information

Because of changes in exchange rates the value of your investment, as well as any money you take from it, can go down as well as up.

Some funds may invest in ‘underlying’ funds or other investment vehicles. The performance of our fund, compared to what it’s invested in won’t be exactly the same. That can be due to additional charges, cash management (needed to help people to enter and leave our fund when they want), tax and the timing of investments (this is known as a fund’s dealing cycle, it varies between managers and can be several days).

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 fund charges and further costs, but take no account of product charges, or any Annual Management Charge paid for by the deduction of units. Charges and further costs 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 net income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.

This factsheet is for information purposes only. If there is information or terminology included that you would like to discuss, then please contact an adviser. Investors should refer to their policy documentation and supporting brochures for fund availability, investment strategy, any product information and charges. Every care has been taken in populating this output, however it must be appreciated that neither Broadridge, Prudential nor their sources guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of this information or make any warranties regarding results from its usage.
