Investor type

Our three Growth Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) portfolios have an 80%, 90% and 100% equity allocation respectively. They are suitable for people with a medium-to-high risk tolerance. If you intend to hold your investments for the longer term, can bear market fluctuations with relative ease and understand that there can be periods of poor performance, these portfolios are for you.

To put these figures in context, it's useful to compare them against an appropriate benchmark. To do this, we've used the ARC Equity Risk Index which illustrates the average performance of our peer group across a number of risk levels. Over 50 investment services in the UK contribute to the ARC, including Barclays, UBS, Charles Stanley & Rathbones, making it a great tool for analysing how similar offerings have performed. 

The average underlying fund fees for our SRI portfolios is 0.26% per annum.

All quoted performance figures are net of Wealthsimple’s standard 0.70% annual charge and the underlying fund fees.
