The Refined Balanced Fund is a multi-asset portfolio with an enhanced responsible investment approach. We take a considered approach to selecting investments, avoiding companies with certain excluded characteristics, and focusing on investments with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) characteristics. Our philosophy is that companies that have ESG characteristics are typically:
- Well-managed
- Resilient
- Forward-thinking
and this may indicate the potential for above average returns over the long term.

What ESG characteristics do we asses?
- Companies – Industry group-specific dashboards compare companies against their peers on the most relevant and material data points for that industry group.
- Funds – Dashboards are used to carefully assess and compare funds against their peers by asset class and geography
- Sovereign Debt – Classification depends on whether the issuing country received a UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Index score of 80 or higher

This product does not have a UK sustainability investment label. Sustainability investment labels help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal. This Fund does not use a UK sustainability investment label because, whilst investment is focused on assets that demonstrate stronger ESG performance, and away from certain sectors or industries with excluded characteristics, the Fund does not have a sustainability objective and it does not seek any particular or measurable positive outcomes. The Refined Balanced Fund is a sub-fund of the TM Quilter Cheviot OEIC Portfolio (FCA Registered Fund Number 468637). Thesis Unit Trust Management Limited (“Tutman”) is the Authorised Corporate Director of the Funds.
