How exclusions work in NZ ethical funds
Exclusion screens are set in each fund's Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives (SIPO) — the foundational policy document each scheme must lodge under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. Each fund's revenue threshold for inclusion in the exclusion list varies (typically >5%, >10%, or "any involvement"). The exact wording for any fund is visible on its `/investment-mandate/` page.
An exclusion screen is one component of an ethical or responsible-investment policy — the other components are positive screens (e.g. preferential weighting of high-ESG-score companies), thematic tilts (e.g. clean-energy overweight), and engagement (proxy voting, manager-investee dialogue). The SIPO sets out which approaches the manager uses; click any fund to see the full policy.
