Australian Ethical reports record net flows
Investment and superannuation provider, Australian Ethical has announced a surge in membership numbers and a record quarter of net flows, which totalled $139.9 million at the end of June.
At the same time, Australian Ethical’s superannuation membership increased to 35,352 which represented a 34.2 per cent growth from 2016.
Funds under management (FUM) went up by 8.7 per cent to $2,145.4 million for the same period, counting year-on-year.

Australian Ethical’s managing director, Phil Vernon, said: “There is no doubt that we are entering an era of values and value – where values matter to people as much as value when investing for their future.”
