As an investor, we are an active owner committed to managing our investments effectively. We seek to maximize long-term investment returns – to enable our members to have a secure financial future – and we are committed to ethical and responsible investment.
As a Church of England institution, we invest in a way that is consistent with the ethos and ethics of the Church of England, and we are guided in this by the Ethical Investment Advisory Group.
