Stewardship
Investing with care
Investing responsibly
Launched in 1984, the Stewardship funds have a proud heritage as the UK's first range of ethical funds.The funds are managed by our dedicated asset management company Aviva Investors.
Stewardship aims to provide investment portfolios that are socially, ethically and environmentally sound, investing in companies with high standards of corporate governance.
Ethical standards
We exclude companies that don’t meet the ethical standards of the Stewardship funds or are harmful to society
Positive contributions
We support companies that make a positive contribution to society
Better business practices
We encourage better business practices through shared ownership and dialogue
The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you originally paid in.
