Income and accumulation units
With income units, any income is paid as cash. This can be withdrawn, reinvested or simply held on your account. With accumulation units any income is retained within the fund; the number of units remains the same but the price of each unit increases by the amount of income generated within the fund. Generally accumulation units offer a slightly more efficient way to reinvest income, although many investors will choose to hold income units and reinvest the income to buy extra units.

In some cases the ongoing savings are provided by our loyalty bonus. Loyalty bonuses are tax-free in an ISA or SIPP. However, they may be subject to tax in a Fund & Share Account which would, in effect, reduce their value and increase the net ongoing charge.

Fund Objective
To generate growth over the long term (5 years or more) by investing in UK equities (company shares) that manage adverse environmental impacts and promote societal welfare in one or more of the four thematic areas of - climate change, the environment, labour management, and human rights & stakeholders, through their business operations OR their products and services. To align with this sustainability objective companies must demonstrate they are positively addressing one or more of the thematic areas, assessed against either the: (i) revenue from or investment budget directed to, products and services that contribute to: - climate change - through renewable energy, or sustainable real estate and infrastructure development; or - environment - through circular economy practices, sustainable food & agriculture, or access to water & sanitation; or - labour management - through educational and employment initiatives; or - human rights & stakeholders - through health and social care, or financial inclusions; or (ii) sustainability of business operations in accordance with the abrdn Operational Sustainability Score. This score takes into account a variety of data inputs related to the four thematic areas of climate change, environment, labour management, and human rights & stakeholders to identify companies that are addressing adverse environmental impacts and promoting societal welfare. Performance Target: To achieve a return in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index over rolling five-year periods (after charges). There is no certainty or promise that the Performance Target will be achieved. Applying sustainability criteria in the investment process may result in the exclusion of securities within the fund's universe of potential investments and therefore may have a bearing on the fund's return profile. The FTSE All-Share Index (the "Index") is a representative index of the UK stock market.
Sustainability Label
