What Eden Tree does

EdenTree Investment Management Limited is a UK-based sustainable investment manager with operations in London, Sunderland, and Gloucester, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 527473). Founded in 1988 with the launch of its first ethical fund, the firm manages 11 funds spanning UK, European and global equities, fixed income (investment-grade, short-dated, government, and labelled social/green bonds), and listed green-infrastructure companies. Its underlying capability is the proprietary EdenTree Standard — a qualitative-led sustainability assessment framework applied to every fund — combined with an active stewardship programme that includes participation in industry coalitions (PRI, IIGCC, Climate Action 100+, Nature Action 100+) and external proxy voting.

The firm distributes funds through four channels: direct sales (with retail A-class shares at a £1,000 lump-sum minimum), UK fund platforms, offshore bonds, and a network of financial advisers, supported by regional sales managers and institutional B-class shares (minimum £1M). Customers include UK financial advisers and their retail and high-net-worth clients, registered charities (a segment reinforced by EdenTree's Benefact Group ownership), retail/private investors (including via Stocks & Shares ISA), and institutional/professional investors.

EdenTree generates revenue primarily through recurring Annual Management Charges deducted at fund level; no initial charges apply on investments, and the firm reserves the right to charge a 1% switch fee (currently waived). Since 2024, the firm has methodically adopted FCA Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) labels, reaching 100% SDR-labelled status across all 11 funds by February 2026 — making it the only UK fund house with a fully labelled range. The firm is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Benefact Group, a charity-owned international financial services group whose profits are directed to charitable causes rather than shareholders, providing a distinctive purpose-driven ownership backdrop in the UK asset management market.
