The 2020 DIRECTINVEST BlueChip Series van Eyk Ethical portfolio seeks to benefit from investing in primarily large capitalisation Australian shares in an ethical manner over at least 3-5 years. van Eyk Ethical will seek to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Industrials Accumulation Index over rolling 3 year periods.
Managed by Three Pillars Portfolio Managers, van Eyk Ethical is a separately managed account that will invest in approximately 15-30 stocks from an investment universe of ethically compliant companies provided by Corporate Monitor, a well-known ethical rating research firm. The universe draws upon the S&P/ASX 200 and about 50 smaller companies using the Corporate Monitor 5 Star Rating System for their environment, social and governance performance. As a separately managed account, investors retain beneficial ownership of the underlying securities and are therefore eligible for dividends and franking credits. Learn more about separately managed accounts.
The Model Portfolio’s universe of eligible companies has:
- No direct involvement in gaming, tobacco, weapons or uranium mining
- An environment rating of 3 or better (as rated by Corporate Monitor)
- A social and governance rating of 2 or better (as rated by Corporate Monitor).
As at 31 March 2010, top holdings in the model portfolio include Westpac, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, ANZ, Origin Energy, Kingsgate, UGL, Arrow Energy and Ansell.

^Model performance inception date: 14/08/2006
Past performance is no indicator of future performance. Long term performance returns show the potential volatility of returns over time. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Model portfolio composition and performance have been based on theoretical tracking of the model portfolio and are gross of fees and do not take tax positions into account. Please note, actual portfolios may not perform in the same manner as the model depicted in this document, depending on the nature of your personal Portfolio and any customisations. Rounding used in the presentation of data may result in minor variations.
~As at 31 March 2010.
