Ethical Trust - The basics

• The Legal & General Ethical Trust gives you a share of an investment fund - the Ethical Trust - which invests in FTSE 350 companies that conform to a range of ethical and environmental guidelines. You can read these guidelines in full in the terms and conditions (PDF 92KB).
• We apply what we call a 'filtered index' to this fund. This means that the fund invests across the FTSE 350, filtering out companies which don't meet the ethical criteria, and in weighted amounts investing in those that do.
• The benefits of a filtered index are that you reduce your risk by investing in a broad range of companies. Plus the diverse sizes and types of business invested in mean good potential for growth.
• You can invest in the Legal & General Ethical Trust online today.
