Vanguard SustainableLife

Don't seem to see or hear too much about these on here.

Actively managed at a range of risk appetites with Wellington looking to be the manager.

From a search their 60/70 fund is the old "Balanced" fund before a rebranding.

They caught my eye as they appear (according to Morningstar) to have a good return with below average risk.

Anyone use them or looked at them please?

Meh, finding it hard to see the attraction unless buying Vanguard funds become an addiction and you need to have them all.
I've heard too many active managers say they can deliver high returns for low volatility then something unexpected happens and it turns out they were just lucky to be riding a trend in the market for a while.

They're expensive, which slightly goes against why most people look at Vanguard in the first place, and the ESG credentials are pretty weak (third largest holding is an oil/energy firm) so I don't really see what you're getting for the extra cost.

I looked at it a while back, seemed to be similar in returns to LifeStrategy 60/80 at a higher cost. Might be better long term, but didn't really appeal.
