Our sustainable fund range
A focus on sustainability and returns
Our sustainable fund range aims to grow your clients’ pension and ISA savings by investing in companies that contribute positively to the environment and society.
Spanning fixed income, equities and mixed asset, you can select one or more of our nine sustainable funds to meet your clients’ goals and risk appetite.
Why choose Royal London’s sustainable funds for your clients?

- Maximum annual charge of just 1% a year.2
- Managed by Royal London Asset Management, which has been running sustainable funds for over 20 years.
- Choose to swap the equity fund in your clients’ Governed Portfolios for the RLS Sustainable Leaders Fund or the RLS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (or a combination of the two) at no extra charge.2
- Recognised sustainability approach: the underlying UK funds have adopted the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) Sustainability Focus label.3

2 The basic charge is 1% a year, which is built into the fund price. Your clients will get a discount on this fund charge. Workplace customers will get their agreed scheme discount, while individual clients will get a tiered discount based on the value of their investments. Find out more about charges in our adviser guide to charges (PDF).
3 The SDR labels apply to UK-based funds. One of the underlying sustainability funds – the RLS Global Sustainable Credit Fund – is an offshore fund regulated in Ireland, so it doesn’t have a label. While the investment process differs, the sustainable approach is the same across all the funds.
