Fund Provider Response

The Fund applies exclusions to areas of concern for each asset class as described in our Ethical Investment Policy, available at https://trustinvestments.co.nz/investor-resources/. During the quarter there has been an enhancement to the underlying international share exposure, including a change to exclusions. This results in a reduction in some of the identified fossil fuel production exposures.

    How the money in this fund is invested by asset type.

    This information has been sourced from the quarterly data that each fund has filed with Disclose register to 30th Sept. 2025.

This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios that each fund has filed with the Disclose register to 30th Sept. 2025 and Mindful Money analysis of funds within those portfolios. The list of companies of concern has been drawn from ratings agencies and public sources, including the Norwegian Sovereign Fund, NZ Super Fund, Sustainalytics and research organisations.

Please note that companies may breach more than one of these areas of concern.

The listing of companies of concern is based on definitions used in Mindful Money's methodology. These definitions may be different from the exclusions policy and definitions applied by the fund provider.

Mindful Money uses the term Mindful Funds as our standard for ethical investment and responsible investment. This does not imply that other funds are unethical or that the fund providers that do not meet these standards are unethical providers.
