Australian Ethical has brought a new managed funds product to market, with the emphasis being on use for investors.
The new Australian Ethical Property Trust incorporates an easy to understand Product Disclosure Statement and an “electronic investor” option that provides access via the fund manager’s website.
Commenting on the new product, Australian Ethical chief executive Anne O’Donnell said development of the product had reflected feedback received from clients and website users and significant effort had been made to make it simpler and easier to understand.
She said the electronic investor option provided a lower contribution fee when investments were made using BPAY or direct debit.
