Aberdeen Asset Management provides investment services for individuals and institutions in the UK and abroad. We currently manage over £25 billion entrusted to us directly or through intermediaries with the primary aim of maximising the income and capital return on the funds we invest for our clients. Since 1988, Aberdeen Asset Management has been involved in the management of ethical portfolios. Our team of dedicated professionals manages over £145 million in funds under socially responsible criteria. First, they carefully research a company's financial growth potential and then analyse its environmental and social history to determine its suitability for inclusion in the portfolio.
In June 1999, we launched the Murray Ethical World Fund, now renamed Aberdeen Ethical World Fund (AEWF). As a true global portfolio, AEWF requires that companies have a sound financial base and also operate with integrity towards their customers, employees, the local community and the environment.
Aberdeen Asset Management believes that ethically minded investments will become increasingly popular as individuals realise they can influence corporate behaviour by investing according to their conscience. We are helping to build a culture of responsible investing by providing our clients with products and investment services which adhere to rigid standards of financial performance and social responsibility.
Aberdeen Asset Management is regulated by the FSA.

Scottish Equitable plc, Scottish Equitable International Holdings plc and AEGON Asset Management UK plc are subsidiaries of AEGON UK, a member of the AEGON Group, one of the largest insurers in the world. AEGON Asset Management, the investment company of AEGON UK has funds under management of over £32bn. The company has been managing Ethical funds since 1988.
AEGON Asset Management offers investors a choice of two ethical funds. Both are designed to meet the needs of clients who wish to make investment decisions based on strong ethical principles. The Ethical Fund invests in UK equities, while the Ethical Income Fund invests solely in corporate bonds. Both funds use highly selective investment criteria, and do not invest in any company whose activities could be considered harmful to society or the environment.
The ethical screening process evaluates the effects that certain companies' activities, products and services can have on society at large. Ethical funds avoid investment in companies that harm people, animals or the environment. Established in 1989, the Ethical Fund is well respected for the stringency and diversity of the selection process it employs. The Ethical Income Fund follows the same criteria, while offering investors a higher level of potential income.

AXA IM has been active in the Responsible Investment market for more than a decade and was an early mover on Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and Corporate Governance, the precursors to today's RI work. The RI Team’s key activities include development and support of specialist RI products, research and analysis for both mainstream as well as product-specific applications, and strong corporate governance activity.
To make sure we continue to meet the expectations of our stakeholders, we are increasingly playing a trendsetting role in the ongoing Responsible Investment debate. This reflects our conviction that environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities are key contributors to better risk-adjusted long-term returns. Our funds, aimed at long-term capital growth, are invested in the securities of financially superior companies that respect stringent social and environmental standards.
In June 2006, Jean-Pierre Hellebuyck (vice-chairman of AXA-IM) appointed Raj Thamotheram as Director of Responsible Investment. One of Raj’s early missions has been to reshape and develop AXA IM’s RI team through the merger of the corporate governance (London) and SRI (Paris) teams. A growing team of 8, AXA IM’s RI division has now also been further strengthened by the addition of a senior quantitative analyst.
