Since our inception, our aim has been to make investing accessible and affordable, guided by our core principles: simplicity, cost-effectiveness and transparency.
We are focused on delivering long term value to investors, via both low-cost market-cap weighted funds, and ‘smart beta’ investment strategies that target outperformance, but at a lower fee level than active managers. We also offer a market-leading range of ethical solutions for investors looking to align their investments with their values.
